Claude Code can now /perceive
World2Agent (W2A) is an open protocol that enables AI agents to perceive real-world data through standardized sensors that provide structured, real-time input. It integrates with agent runtimes like Claude Code, Hermes, and OpenClaw, allowing users to easily add sensors for data sources such as Hacker News or AI lab updates. The system promotes community-driven development, with tools to create, share, and manage sensors via the SensorHub catalog.
- ▪W2A is an open protocol for standardizing how AI agents perceive real-world data.
- ▪It supports integration with Claude Code, Hermes, and OpenClaw through plugins and sensor bridges.
- ▪Sensors are npm packages that emit structured data, and users can build and publish their own in about 50 lines of code.
- ▪Security is emphasized, with warnings to only install trusted, open-source sensors.
- ▪SensorHub serves as a centralized catalog for discovering and installing community-built sensors.

Agents can't act on what they can't perceive. Website · Quick Start · Sensors · SensorHub · Docs · Community Watch the W2A Concept Video What is World2Agent? World2Agent (W2A) is an open protocol that standardizes how AI agents perceive the real world. Install a sensor, your agent gets structured, real-time data. Swap sensors freely — they all speak the same schema. W2A isn't a product. It's an open protocol and an invitation. We built the first sensors — the real breakthroughs will come from the community. → Why W2A? Full story Architecture World → Sensor → Agent Sensors watch data sources and emit structured data following W2A Protocol. Your agent receives signals and decides what to do.
