ACP: The Internet Protocol for AI Agents
- ACP (Agent Communication Protocol) enables AI agents to collaborate across teams, frameworks, and organizations, fostering interoperability and scalability.
- It is an open-source standard facilitating communication among AI agents, with the latest version released recently.
- Key features of ACP include REST-based communication, no requirement for specialized SDKs, and offline discovery.
- ACP supports asynchronous communication by default, with synchronous requests also being supported.
- ACP enhances agent orchestration across various architectures while not managing workflows or deployments.
- Challenges addressed by ACP include framework diversity, custom integrations, development scalability, and cross-organization considerations.
- A real-world example showcases how ACP facilitates seamless communication between manufacturing and logistics agents across organizations.
- Creating an ACP-compatible agent is simplified, requiring minimal code to make it discoverable, process requests, and integrate with other ACP systems.
- Comparison with other protocols like MCP and A2A highlights ACP's emphasis on agent-to-agent communication, flexibility, and vendor-neutrality.
- The roadmap for ACP focuses on areas such as identity federation, access delegation, multi-registry support, agent sharing, and deployment simplification.
- The development of ACP encourages community contributions to shape the standard for improved agent interoperability.
