The Linux Foundation announced the launch of the Agent2Agent (A2A) project, an open protocol created by Google for secure agent-to-agent communication and collaboration. Developed to address the challenges of scaling AI agents across enterprise environments, A2A empowers developers to build agents that seamlessly interoperate, regardless of platform, vendor, or framework.
To that end, A2A enables autonomous agents to discover one another, exchange information securely, and collaborate across systems. This allows developers and organizations to unite agents from multiple sources and platforms, improving modularity, mitigating vendor lock-in, and accelerating innovation.
