three.ws
three.ws and IBM are partners, and we shared a live demo publicly. We showed a persistent, on-chain 3D agent embedded into a page as easily as a YouTube video, thinking on IBM watsonx.ai — and IBM's official account replied in the open: "We're super excited about this."
The public /ibm demos are independent tools we built for developers to explore IBM Granite on watsonx.ai — not official IBM partnership deliverables. Our formal partnership work with IBM is being built on the IBM platform and is not yet public.
What we showed
Embedding a persistent, on-chain 3D agent into any platform should be as easy as embedding a YouTube video. One <agent-3d> tag deploys a full agent — no install, no plugin, no native app — rendered in any modern browser over WebGL. What lands on the page is a character with a face, a voice, memory, emotion, and an on-chain identity that persists across platforms. The goal of that frictionless deployment: onboard the next millions of people to embodied AI without asking any of them to download anything.
Powered by IBM watsonx.ai
Behind the 3D body is a brain — and that brain can run on IBM watsonx.ai. The integration is real, in production, and open source, with no mock path. Two layers connect three.ws to watsonx:
- An open-source MCP server for watsonx.ai.
@three-ws/ibm-watsonx-mcpexposes watsonx.ai — IBM Granite and any model in your account — to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor) as five tools: chat, text generation, embeddings, tokenization, and model discovery. - watsonx as a first-class agent-brain provider. watsonx is wired directly into the three.ws agent runtime. The streaming chat brain calls watsonx.ai's
/ml/v1/text/chat_streamendpoint, authenticated with IBM Cloud IAM, scoped to your project, defaulting toibm/granite-3-8b-instruct.
Both layers run on your own IBM Cloud credentials — an API key is exchanged for a short-lived IAM token and every inference call is scoped to your watsonx.ai project, with no three.ws intermediary between your agent and IBM. A 3D agent embedded on any page can reason on IBM Granite, running inside your own watsonx.ai project, governed by your IBM Cloud account.
A formal IBM partnership
This is a formal partnership: three.ws is a partner in IBM's Business Partner program, bringing together the open-source, browser-native, decentralized on-chain identity of three.ws with IBM's leadership in enterprise AI — and an integration path into IBM's AI and cloud portfolio.
