# Northsun: full text Generated: 2026-10-19 Canonical: https://northsun.ai --- ## Summary Northsun is the memory and enrichment layer for AI agents. Every agent proposes. Northsun governs. One call before your agent speaks returns the caller profile tied to the number and what happened on recent calls. Customers build the voice, chat, coding and workflow agents; they call Northsun for context. ## What, who, price, how - WHAT: Northsun is the memory and enrichment layer for AI agents. Every agent proposes. Northsun governs. - WHO: Teams building voice, chat, coding and workflow agents that need their agents to know who they are talking to. - PRICE: Hobby is $0 for named builders during early access. Public quotas are not specified. Paid access is contact sales. No price is published until one is ratified. - HOW: Two HTTPS calls from your voice stack: one before the agent speaks, one after hangup. A third call reads a caller profile outside a live call. ## How a call works 1. The phone rings. 2. Your stack calls `POST https://mcp.northsun.ai/v1/recall_and_enrich` once, before the agent speaks. 3. What comes back: the caller, memory of recent calls, and enrichment. 4. The agent speaks with the context that came back. 5. After hangup, your stack calls `POST https://mcp.northsun.ai/v1/calls/end` once to write the conversation back. ## Public API (v1) The public API is exactly these three routes. Every route takes a tenant API key as a bearer token: `Authorization: Bearer `. - `POST https://mcp.northsun.ai/v1/recall_and_enrich`: Call once before the agent speaks. Returns the caller profile, memory of recent calls and the Trestle and Twilio Lookup enrichment that was available. A number Northsun has not seen before comes back as known: false, not as an error; a failed caller read comes back as known: false with degraded: true. - `POST https://mcp.northsun.ai/v1/calls/end`: Call once after hangup to write the conversation back: transcript, duration and outcome. Northsun answers 204 when it accepts the write. - `GET https://mcp.northsun.ai/v1/caller/{phone_number}`: Read a caller profile outside a live call, to verify that a write landed. ### Recall response A successful recall returns `trace_id`, `known`, `caller`, `memory` (a `summary` and up to five `recent_calls`), `enrichment` (`person`, `company` and `phone`, each possibly null), `timing_ms` and `freshness`. When memory comes back, the freshness value says how long the answer had been cached. A number Northsun has not seen before comes back as `known: false`, not as an error. No guess is made. If Northsun could not read the caller, the 200 also carries `degraded: true`, with every field null or empty: treat that as unknown, not as a first-time caller. ### Write-back request `POST /v1/calls/end` takes `session_id`, `phone_number`, `transcript` (turns of `role` user or agent, `text` and `ts_ms`), `duration_s` and `outcome` (one of appointment_booked, quote_given, callback_requested, no_answer, other). `agent_metadata` is optional. ### Errors Errors use one envelope: `{ "error": { "code", "message", "request_id" } }`. Statuses are 400, 401, 403, 422, 429, 500 and 503, and `GET /v1/caller/{phone_number}` answers 404 when Northsun has no such caller. The OpenAPI 3.1 description is at https://northsun.ai/.well-known/openapi.json. ## Enrichment Enrichment on recall comes from Trestle and Twilio Lookup. Enrichment fields can be null. ## Speed and receipts It is designed for sub-300ms voice recall. Northsun does not publish a benchmark. Each successful recall response carries its own timing_ms. ## What is in production and what is not In production today: - Caller memory and enrichment for voice agents, on the three public v1 routes. - An authenticated MCP gateway. The MCP gateway is at https://mcp.northsun.ai/mcp. It is separate from the public v1 REST routes and is authenticated. Design stage, not shipped: - Governed facts will be versioned. When a fact changes, Northsun will store the new version beside the old, and earlier versions will stay readable as of their date. - Webhooks, the governance gate API and its receipts, Reflector, Beacon, plans and billing, and memory settings are design stage, not shipped. ## Pricing and access Hobby is $0 for named builders during early access. Public quotas are not specified. Paid access is contact sales. No price is published until one is ratified. Northsun is onboarding design partners by invitation.

Northsun is the memory and enrichment layer for AI agents. Every agent proposes. Northsun governs. One call before your agent speaks returns the caller profile tied to the number and what happened on recent calls. ### Who builds the agents? Customers build the voice, chat, coding and workflow agents; they call Northsun for context. ### What does my voice agent receive when a call starts? One call to POST /v1/recall_and_enrich before the agent speaks returns the caller's profile and recent calls, when Northsun has them, with the enrichment that was available. ### What happens for a number Northsun has not seen? It comes back as known: false, not as an error. No guess is made. If Northsun could not read the caller, the answer also carries degraded: true; treat it as unknown, not as a first-time caller. ### What does my application send after the call? One call to POST /v1/calls/end with the session ID, phone number, transcript, duration and outcome. Northsun answers 204 when it accepts the write. ### Which vendors provide the enrichment? Trestle and Twilio Lookup. ### How fast is it? It is designed for sub-300ms voice recall. Northsun does not publish a benchmark. Each successful recall response carries its own timing_ms. ### How much does Northsun cost? Hobby is $0 for named builders during early access. Public quotas are not specified. Paid access is contact sales. No price is published until one is ratified. ### How do I get access? Northsun is onboarding design partners by invitation.
