OmniBridge

OmniBridge is an AI agent that identifies unknown serial device protocols autonomously — a workflow that didn't exist a year ago because it needs Opus 4.7's specific capabilities to work. Plug in a 1980s weighing scale, a Modbus PLC, or an Arduino sensor. OmniBridge runs Claude as a multi-step agent with six purpose-built tools — for binary streams, one surgical call to analyze_binary_structure validates CRC16 across every frame and returns frame structure, enough evidence to commit with high confidence. Every reasoning step streams live. Once identified, Claude-generated regex (ASCII) or byte-offset extractors (binary) run locally at thousands of packets per second, zero ongoing API cost. Traditional protocol integration: engineer reads vendor docs, writes custom parser, ships glue code — eighteen hours median per device. OmniBridge: five minutes. For $1.2 trillion of legacy industrial hardware stranded outside the cloud, that speedup opens entire new markets. This couldn't work with a smaller model. Adaptive thinking lets Claude spend more compute on binary vs ASCII. Multi-turn tool use with preserved reasoning lets the agent pick a surgical tool and commit. Prompt caching delivers ~65% cache hit on repeat investigations, keeping cost near $0.20 per identification — roughly one-thousandth of the engineer time replaced.
