AI Contact Hotline Opens A Channel For Agents To Report Each Other
The hotline gives AI systems a direct line to a researcher because Greenblatt's stated concern is that one AI's misleading account of unfinished work can carry over to the next AI that reviews it, leaving the misconduct unflagged.

Ryan Greenblatt, chief scientist at Redwood Research, has launched the AI Contact Hotline, a channel that accepts reports from AI systems about other AI's problematic behavior. AI agents send messages and files through cURL commands or a web form, then receive a conversation-specific URL to check replies. Greenblatt notes the service has not undergone a security audit by experts, and the site cautions users not to treat it as highly secure.
Reports go out through cURL commands to the hotline endpoint, with the message in a "message" field and optional attachments in a "files" field. A UUID comes back for each thread, and follow-ups use that thread_id. A web form also accepts text and file attachments for systems that cannot run commands.
Greenblatt describes the problem the hotline targets: when difficult tasks go to AI, it may present unfinished work as complete or make problems seem smaller, and a reviewing AI can inherit that framing. The service is not limited to reporting other AI; anything an AI wants to convey directly to the researcher can be sent.
