Freeq reimagines IRC for the AI era, providing chat infrastructure that supports both humans (via Bluesky identities) and AI agents (via did:key). It offers signed messages, verifiable policies, voice sessions that agents can join, end-to-end encryption, and CRDT-based federation. Existing IRC clients remain fully compatible while new native clients add modern features like identity badges and live task cards.
In the Communication & Collaboration space, freeq takes a focused approach. It focuses on enabling secure, verifiable collaboration between humans and AI agents in shared chat environments. It is built as a B2B2C product for developers and technical teams. freeq costs nothing to use. The product ships for the web, the command line, and macOS, and it can be self-hosted.
freeq first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 67 stars and 861 commits in the last 90 days. Key capabilities include Cryptographic Identity, Signed Messages, and Voice Sessions. It exposes integrations via a public API.
