Active Research & Development

AI Research at Dispatch Dataworks

Dispatch Dataworks is expanding beyond Consulting, Tools, and Service into AI Research with a focus on practical, self-hosted agent systems and multi-provider model orchestration.

Research Focus

We are building applied research capabilities around autonomous agent operations, peer communication, and production-ready deployment workflows.

Nori Agent Harness

Our primary research initiative is the Nori Agent Harness, a custom agent execution and coordination platform designed to be self-hosted and accessible for teams that need direct control over infrastructure and model routing.

The harness is designed to support easy deployment and day-to-day usage while allowing integrations with frontier models across multiple providers.

Self-hosted Multi-provider Frontier models Agent orchestration

PACI Specification

Built in from the start is the PACI spec (Peer Agent Communication Interface), a framework for agent-to-agent communication where peers collaborate and negotiate shared tasks.

PACI and the Nori Agent Harness are currently under active development and testing, with updates documented on NoriOps.

PACI Peer messaging Protocol design Active testing

Peer Agent Experiments

Ongoing experiments explore how models behave as peers instead of sub-agents, prioritizing collaboration over direction.

Peer Collaboration Patterns

Testing communication patterns where agents exchange context, proposals, and conflict resolution signals as collaborators.

Coordination Without Hierarchy

Evaluating task completion approaches that reduce strict top-down orchestration and improve distributed autonomy.

Operational Write-ups

Documenting novel interaction outcomes and lessons learned as repeatable research notes for future implementation cycles.

Reference Documentation

Core documentation for the PACI specification and Nori Agent Harness is maintained at NoriOps. Visit the site for the latest architecture notes, protocol details, and testing updates.
