What do CrewAI, AG2, Boomi, Browserbase, Haize Labs, Komodor, and Layer all have in common? They are all new members of AGNTCY.org—the open source collective building foundational technologies and standards for the Internet of Agents.
Since AGNTCY’s launch on March 6, alongside LangChain and Galileo, we’ve welcomed collaborations from dozens of companies.
Read on to see why our members are excited about AGNTCY. But first a few quick updates:
AGNTCY provides the glue to connect diverse artificial intelligence (AI) agents into cohesive workflows, allowing developers to leverage what's already out there—instead of reinventing the wheel.
In this blog, we explain how AGNTCY’s components work in a sample multi-agent application. You can see other sample applications here.
Agent Connect Protocol SDK is an open source library designed to facilitate the adoption of the Agent Connect Protocol (ACP). It offers tools for client and server implementations which enables seamless integration and communication between multi-agent systems. With ACP, all agents can communicate over the network using a standard protocol to interoperate.
