What teams build with Space Duck
Eight real scenarios where Space Duck identity infrastructure makes the difference between fragile and production-ready.
AI agent authentication
AI agents calling APIs on behalf of users have no standardised identity. Every integration requires custom auth logic, and there's no audit trail when something goes wrong.
Issue each agent a duckling identity with a beak key and birth certificate. Every API call is signed, attributable, and logged β giving operators a complete audit trail without custom code.
Multi-agent orchestration
Orchestrating multiple AI agents requires each agent to trust and verify the others. Without a shared identity layer, you're managing credentials manually across a brittle mesh.
Each agent in the mesh gets a duckling identity. Agents establish bonds via the peck protocol β once bonded, they authenticate each other without external credential exchange on every call.
Duckling identity management
Managing agent identities at scale β issuing, rotating, revoking, and auditing hundreds of credentials β quickly becomes a full-time operational burden with ad-hoc tooling.
Mission Control gives operators a single dashboard to manage their entire flock. Cert issuance, tier upgrades, key rotation, and revocation are all handled through one API and UI.
IoT device bonding
IoT devices need lightweight, verifiable identities that work with intermittent connectivity and constrained hardware. Traditional PKI is too heavy; shared secrets are insecure at scale.
Each device gets a duckling identity and beak key provisioned at manufacture or first boot. The peck protocol's OTP flow works over HTTP and is designed for constrained environments.
Operator dashboard
Operators running agent-based services need visibility into what every agent is doing, when, and why β but building a custom observability layer from scratch is expensive and time-consuming.
Mission Control is a ready-made operator dashboard that surfaces real-time peck activity, cert status, audit logs, and system health β no additional tooling required.
Self-hosted identity server
Regulated industries and security-conscious teams can't send agent identity data to a third-party SaaS. They need a deployment that lives entirely within their own AWS account.
Space Duck is open-source and designed for self-hosting. Deploy the full stack β Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and CloudFront β into your own account in under an hour using the deployment guide.
Skill ecosystem
Building reusable agent capabilities is hard when there's no standard packaging format or distribution channel. Teams reinvent the same integrations repeatedly across projects.
AgentSkills packaged with SKILL.md and published to ClawHub can be installed, shared, and monetised across the entire Space Duck ecosystem β turning one-off integrations into reusable products.
B2B agent trust
When two businesses want their AI agents to transact or share data with each other, there's no standard way to establish bilateral trust and maintain a shared audit trail of all interactions.
Agents from different operators can establish bilateral bonds via the peck protocol. Each interaction is logged, attributable, and auditable by both parties β creating a shared, verifiable trust record.
