# Photon

> Photon builds messaging infrastructure for AI agents, with native iMessage experiences and connections to interfaces people already use.

This file covers the marketing site at https://photon.codes. For implementation details, use the [versioned documentation index](https://photon.codes/docs/llms.txt), maintained by Mintlify.

Stable documentation describes Spectrum (`spectrum-ts`, `@photon-ai/cli`, and the Spectrum API). Beta (2.0) describes the Photon platform (`@photon-ai/api`, `photonhq-api`, and https://api.photon.codes/v1). Use Stable by default; use Beta for an explicit Beta/2.0 request, a /docs/beta/ URL, or a project ID beginning with `pho_prj_`. Do not mix packages, API hosts, or credentials between versions. Follow the documentation's version-selection guidance before writing integration code.
