'''GibberLink''' is an [acoustic data transmission](/source/acoustic_data_transmission) project, with an [open-source](/source/open-source) client available on [GitHub](/source/GitHub), in which two [conversational AI](/source/conversational_AI) agents switch from speaking to one another in a Human-listenable language (such as English) to their own unique language that consists of a sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents.<ref>{{Citation |last=Starkov |first=Boris |title=PennyroyalTea/gibberlink |date=2025-03-01 |url=https://github.com/PennyroyalTea/gibberlink |access-date=2025-03-01}}</ref> The project was created by Anton Pidkuiko and Boris Starkov.

== Reception ==
The project won the global top prize at the [ElevenLabs](/source/ElevenLabs) Worldwide [Hackathon](/source/Hackathon).<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Schaeff |first1=Thor |last2=Jordan |first2=Louis |date=2025-02-28 |title=Announcing the winners of the ElevenLabs Worldwide Hackathon |url=https://elevenlabs.io/blog/announcing-the-winners-of-the-elevenlabs-worldwide-hackathon |access-date=2025-03-01 |website=ElevenLabs |language=en}}</ref> It has also been cited as raising questions around [AI ethics](/source/AI_ethics) and oversight.<ref name=":0" /> 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.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |author1=Amanda Caswell |date=2025-02-27 |title=What is 'Gibberlink'?
