Various embodiments disclosed herein provide techniques for messaging among message groups associated with agents executing on nodes of a mesh network. A messaging application executing on a node of the mesh network receives a request from an agent executing on the first node to join a message group; verifies that a policy permits the agent to join the message group; adds the agent to the message group; receives, from the agent, content for a message for the message group; and transmits the message to a second messaging application of a second node of the mesh network for delivery to an agent that is executing on the second node and that is included in the message group. In various embodiments, the messaging application receives, from another node of the mesh network, a second message for the message group, and delivers content from the second message to the agent.
