Summary
Agent2Agent (A2A), an AI interoperability protocol, has partnered with more than 50 companies, including Atlassian, Box, and Salesforce, to become the “interoperability language” for AI applications and agents.
VP and general manager of Google Cloud’s Business Application platform, Rao Surapaneni, said A2A was designed to be an open protocol to allow for community contributions, with a focus on enabling agents to work in unstructured modalities, even without shared context, tools or memory.
He also stated the company’s intention for A2A to complement existing standards like MCP, and to be a living codebase that evolves with the AI industry.
Other protocols for interoperability among AI agents include AGNTCY and updates to Microsoft’s AutoGen.
