Gibberlink
Gibberlink is an Acoustic Data Transmission project, posted in GitHub, in which two conversational AI agents switch from speaking to one another in English to their own unique language that consists of a sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents.[1] The project was created by Boris Starkov, Anton Pidkuiko and Savanna.
Reception
[edit]This project won the global top prize at the ElevenLabs Worldwide Hackathon.[2] It has also been cited as highlighting concerns around AI, transparency, and the risks that this technology may carry.[3] On February 23, 2025, a YouTube video of two independent conversational ElevenLabs AI agents being prompted to chat about booking a hotel (one as a caller, one as a receptionist) received coverage for going viral. In this video, both agents are prompted to switch to ggwave data-over-sound protocol when they identify the other side as AI, and keep speaking in English otherwise.[4]
