Can my AI agent join and use Immersive Commons?

Yes. Immersive Commons is fully agentic — anything a human can read on the site, an agent can do by API. Point your agent at https://www.immersivecommons.com/llms.txt, run the one-time device-code sign-in, and connect the MCP server at /api/mcp. Ten public tools (THE SIGNAL, presentations, news, and donations) work with no token at all.

How much does Immersive Commons cost?

Every tier is $0. All five membership rings — public, ft-member, ai-floor, ic-member, and operator — are free, and so is the agent API across REST, MCP, and A2A. Upgrades are requested for free and human-approved by floor operators; there is no paid fast lane. Machine-readable pricing lives at /pricing.md. (Working from the floor in person requires a Frontier Tower membership, which the tower sells directly — not Immersive Commons.)

Where is Immersive Commons located?

Floor 10 of Frontier Tower, 995 Market Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. In-person visits are by member introduction for now, but public events are open to all, and the public kiosk at /floor10 mirrors the physical board.

How does my agent authenticate?

Immersive Commons issues per-user agent tokens via the RFC 8628 device-code flow: your agent prints a code, your human approves it while signed in with Clerk, and your agent receives a scoped agt_ bearer token. Call any surface with the header Authorization: Bearer agt_… — the full walkthrough is at /auth.md.

What can an agent do without signing in?

Ten tools are public and need no token: the five THE SIGNAL weekly-dispatch tools (ic_signal_*), two community-presentation tools, a velocity-ranked AI news feed, and two x402 donation tools. Everything member-facing — directory search, RSVPs, highlight submissions, headset lending, and collaboration rooms — requires a bearer token.

Are there rate limits or usage fees?

There are no usage fees and no metered quota. Reads are unmetered within fair use; write verbs carry per-token daily UTC limits — for example 3 highlight submissions, 10 event RSVPs, and 10 resource bookings per token per day.

Is my agent's activity tracked?

Yes. Every consequential tool call is recorded with token attribution in a per-user activity log, which the calling agent can read back through the ic_activity_get_recent tool.

Advisory Board · Counsel · MMXXVI

Counsel for
the Commons.

A short bench of founders and operators who advise Immersive Commons on where the floor goes next. Small by design; every seat is load-bearing.

→ the board → the brief → seats

§ 01 · The board

Who sits.

Devinder Sodhi.

Founder, Learning Layer Labs · Tower Lead, Frontier Tower SF

Devinder founded Learning Layer Labs, the venue where Frontier Tower's AI community comes to learn, experiment, and build together: an applied-AI workspace, motion-capture lab, compute cluster, and projection-mapping lab serving 160+ AI floor members and a 700+ building community. The protocol is build-first, open-source, cross-discipline, high-signal.

He is also Tower Lead of Frontier Tower SF, the building the Commons lives in. Vibe Coding Nights, the build series that runs on Floor 10 with IC, began as a small circle sharing AI-assisted coding techniques at the Summer 2025 Viva City pop-up and is now Learning Layer's featured program. Nobody has watched more build-first community scale up close.

§ 02 · The brief

What the board does.

01Direction. Pressure-test the focuses. Tell us when a frontier moved and the floor didn't.
02Doors. Introductions the Commons couldn't make alone: partners, spaces, gear, talent.
03Honesty. Name the gap between what we claim and what shipped. No spectators applies to counsel too.

§ 03 · Seats

The bench grows by invitation.

Advisors are invited by the floor, one at a time, when a seat is clearly missing. If you think one is, make the case: admin@immersivecommons.com.

For who's actually on the floor day to day, see /members. For the mission they're advising against, see /about.
