Anwani Turns Hard-to-Describe Places Into Permanent 9-Digit Digital Addresses
The free addressing platform gives physical locations a reusable digital identity, available through Android, iOS, web, Telegram and AI agents
For many people, giving someone an address still means more than providing a street name and number. In neighborhoods where streets are unnamed, numbers are inconsistent, or local landmarks are more useful than official addresses, a delivery can depend on a phone call and directions such as "next to the pharmacy" or "after the mosque." The same explanation may have to be repeated every time someone needs to find the place.
Anwani is built to replace that repeated explanation with a permanent digital address. The platform gives every physical location a 9-digit address code tied to its exact map coordinates. The code is created once and stays the same, allowing people to share it repeatedly in the same way they share a phone number.
Anwani is designed for places where conventional street addressing is incomplete, inconsistent or simply not practical in everyday use. An individual can create a permanent code for a home or workplace. A business can create codes for branches, shops or warehouses. A delivery operator can use a code as the address for an order instead of relying on a long written description.
Creating an address starts by placing the real location on a map. The user receives a 9-digit code and a fixed web link on 9code.app. Optional information can then be added, including a building name, floor, apartment number, entrance, arrival instructions, phone number or photo. These details can be updated later without changing the address code or its link.
This distinction is important for recurring use. A conventional map pin can be useful for sharing a location once, but it does not necessarily preserve the practical information needed to reach a particular door. A live location can also move with the person carrying the phone. Anwani treats the location as a persistent address record that can be saved, updated and shared again.
The recipient does not need the Anwani app or an Anwani account. Opening the shared link in a browser displays the location and the information the owner has chosen to share. The recipient can then open directions in the maps application already available on their device. This allows the person creating the address and the person receiving it to use different tools without creating another account or installing another app.
Anwani also includes an optional protection PIN for situations where a link may be shared more widely than intended. Depending on the protection settings, some details such as the exact coordinates or phone number can remain hidden until the recipient enters the PIN. This can be useful for a fixed home address or when an address link is posted in a group where not everyone should see all of the details.
The platform is not intended to replace navigation services. It uses maps for the geographic location and directions while adding a persistent address identity and practical arrival information on top of the map location.
Anwani complements tools such as Google Maps pins, Plus Codes and what3words by focusing on the address as a managed record. A map pin is useful for finding or sharing a geographic point. Plus Codes provide an open coordinate-based way to represent places, while what3words assigns three words to a small geographic area. Anwani adds a permanent 9-digit code with a reusable link, optional arrival details and optional protection that can be updated without changing the code.
The same address identity is now available through multiple access channels. Anwani began with mobile apps for Android and iOS and has expanded to the web, Telegram and AI-agent access. These are not separate products or separate address systems. They are different ways of reaching the same Anwani account and the same saved addresses.
The Anwani website allows users to access their addresses without relying exclusively on the mobile application. The Telegram bot @AnwaniBot provides another way to create and manage addresses directly from a messaging environment. This is particularly relevant for delivery workflows, where customers and operators already communicate through messaging platforms.
For delivery companies, an Anwani code can become the address field on an order. The customer creates the address once, then provides the same code for future orders. The driver opens the link without installing an app, sees the location and relevant arrival instructions, and can launch directions. Businesses can also place a permanent address link in a profile, invoice, confirmation message or other customer communication without replacing it every time the delivery instructions change.
The newest access channel extends the same concept to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Anwani is not itself an AI agent. Instead, it provides an address service that an authorized agent can use on behalf of a user.
With explicit user authorization, a supported AI agent can create an address, access the user's saved addresses, update address information and share an address code. Authorization takes place through a browser consent flow, and access is scoped to the user's account. The agent operates under the same address limits and ownership rules that apply to the other Anwani channels.
This means an address does not have to begin inside a dedicated address application. A person can create and manage the same address through the mobile app, website, Telegram or an authorized AI agent, while the resulting code remains the same. The underlying idea is that the address should belong to the physical place, rather than to the application through which it was created.
"An address should be something you create once and share like a phone number, whether the person asking is a driver, a customer or an AI agent," said Mahmood Al Sabbagh, Founder of Anwani.
Today, Anwani is available through its Android and iOS mobile apps, the 9code.app website and the @AnwaniBot Telegram bot, with AI-agent access available through its technical MCP bridge. Cursor is the first supported MCP client, and additional AI client integrations are planned.
The platform is being developed independently and remains free for users. Its focus is on making physical addresses easier to create, reuse and understand in places where conventional addressing does not reliably describe the actual destination.
About Anwani: Anwani (عنواني) is a digital addressing platform that gives every physical location a permanent 9-digit address code. Users can create an address once, add optional arrival and protection details, and share the same code or link whenever they need it. The same address identity is accessible through the Android and iOS apps, the website, Telegram and supported AI agents.
