<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Google has donated the Agent2Agent Protocol to the Linux Foundation, a technology for AI agent interactions.The donation was announced at the Open Source Summit North America conference in Denver.Google aims to accelerate adoption of the A2A protocol for open collaboration and development.The A2A Protocol facilitates interactions between AI agents to automate tasks.Developers no longer need to write custom code as A2A provides prepackaged features for data movement.A2A can assist agents in processing prompts, collaborating on complex tasks, and sharing data in JSON format.The protocol enables sharing of text and multimodal data efficiently and securely.A2A uses the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol for moving JSON files between agents.Google has provided three modes for sharing files and instructions between agents using A2A.A2A complements the Model Context Protocol for interactions between agents and other applications.Accompanying software development kits and tooling are also donated to the Linux Foundation.Companies like Amazon Web Services, Cisco, Microsoft, and others support the A2A project.A2A's move to the Linux Foundation aims for long-term neutrality and collaboration in agent-powered productivity.
