Metatransformer is building The Mesh, an open-source federated protocol for AI agent infrastructure designed to counter centralized AI capture. The Mesh is a sovereign mesh operating system for AI-native organizations: self-hosted, model-agnostic, and architecturally committed to the principle that AI should amplify human capability rather than replace human judgment.

Founded by Nick Bryant — a 23-year engineering veteran whose career began at NASA's Intelligent Robotics Group and spans private equity fund management, AI infrastructure, and open-source development — Metatransformer emerged from building an AI operating system for a private equity fund that replaced $15,000/month in SaaS costs with $250/month of mesh infrastructure. The Mesh protocol uses DIDs for agent identity, UCANs for capability-based permissions, and CRDTs for distributed state management, with federation enabling cross-organization agent coordination. The project is MIT-licensed and actively developed at github.com/Metatransformer/the-mesh.

Nick Bryant is the founder of Metatransformer, where he's building The Mesh — an open-source federated protocol for AI agent infrastructure. His 23-year engineering career began at NASA's Intelligent Robotics Group and spans private equity fund management, AI system architecture, and open-source development. As GP at Search Fund Ventures, he built a production AI operating system that replaced $15,000/month in SaaS costs with $250/month of self-hosted infrastructure, proving the economic viability of federated alternatives. Nick is based in Mexico City.
