Absolutely agree, Aaron. What A2A unlocks is more than interoperability — it’s the foundation for agent composability at planetary scale. You’re right: •Tens of thousands of domain-specific tool Agents (Salesforce, Workday, Box…) •Billions of personal, ephemeral, or task-specific Agents built on top •And the only way to make that work is protocol, not platform. But here’s what emerges when you analyze A2A × MCP through the Parallax Frame contradiction system: ⸻ Contradiction 1 — A2A: Agents can coordinate — but can’t think. •No reasoning, no API invocation, no cognitive layer •Assumes every Agent already knows how to act → Coordination without cognition Contradiction 2 — MCP: Agents can reason — but can’t collaborate. •No identity, no registry, no state sync •Exists inside the LLM token stream → Cognition without coordination ⸻ Together, A2A + MCP resolve each other’s core instability: •A2A provides memory, trust, capability discovery •MCP provides reasoning, tool invocation, and local semantic planning •Combined, they form a recursive agent stack — where every Agent can act and align This is why openness matters: not just for access — but for stability. Closed systems fracture at scale. Open protocols compound. We’re watching the birth of a new operating system — not for machines, but for agency itself.

Is there a reward sharing mechanism built into the protocol?

The enterprise data security implications of this are staggering however; privilege escalation being the most obvious issue.

Obviously MCPs are gaining netwoek effect, why we bother with Google's protocol?

In the future, the majority of the economic transactions could be happening between AI agents, not between people. It's the same as how a majority of stock trading is between bots now!

Today, Box is announcing major new AI agent capabilities to let customers tap into the full value of their unstructured data. First, we’re announcing all new updates to the Box AI Studio to make it even easier to build AI agents that tap into your enterprise content for any job function, business process, or industry specific use case. We are also expanding our set of foundational agents that customers will be able to use to work with their enterprise content, including new features like search and research on unstructured data. Next, we’re announcing Box Extract to enable customers to use AI agents seamlessly for complex data extraction from any type of document or content. This makes it easier than ever to pull out data from contracts, invoices, research data, marketing assets, medical charts, and more. Finally, we’re introducing Box Automate, a new workflow automation solution within Box that lets you deploy AI agents across enterprise content-centric workflows. With Box Automate, you can design your business process in a simple drag and drop builder and then drop in AI agents at any step in the process. This ensures agents execute tasks at the right steps in a workflow every time. Best of all, our AI agents and workflow tools are designed to work across any system our customers work within, whether it’s leveraging pre-built integrations, Box APIs, or the new Box MCP Server. Ultimately, all of these capabilities come together to transform how companies can work with their enterprise content. Software has historically only been good at automating work that deals with structured data, which is why ERP, CRM, and HR systems have been mainstays of enterprise software for so long. The data in these systems fits neatly into a database, and the workflows are very ripe for automation. But it turns out most of the work in the world deals with unstructured data. It’s ideating through research documents, working with a client on contracts, reviewing details for a new product launch, looking at a patient’s healthcare record to make a diagnosis, working through due diligence documents for an M&A deal, and so on. For the first time ever, we can begin to bring all new insights and automation to this work with AI agents. At Box, we’re incredibly excited to be on this journey to help customers transform how they work with their most important data.

New Course: ACP: Agent Communication Protocol Learn to build agents that communicate and collaborate across different frameworks using ACP in this short course built with IBM Research's BeeAI, and taught by Sandi Besen, AI Research Engineer & Ecosystem Lead at IBM, and Nicholas Renotte, Head of AI Developer Advocacy at IBM. Building a multi-agent system with agents built or used by different teams and organizations can become challenging. You may need to write custom integrations each time a team updates their agent design or changes their choice of agentic orchestration framework. The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open protocol that addresses this challenge by standardizing how agents communicate, using a unified RESTful interface that works across frameworks. In this protocol, you host an agent inside an ACP server, which handles requests from an ACP client and passes them to the appropriate agent. Using a standardized client-server interface allows multiple teams to reuse agents across projects. It also makes it easier to switch between frameworks, replace an agent with a new version, or update a multi-agent system without refactoring the entire system. In this course, you’ll learn to connect agents through ACP. You’ll understand the lifecycle of an ACP Agent and how it compares to other protocols, such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent). You’ll build ACP-compliant agents and implement both sequential and hierarchical workflows of multiple agents collaborating using ACP. Through hands-on exercises, you’ll build: - A RAG agent with CrewAI and wrap it inside an ACP server. - An ACP Client to make calls to the ACP server you created. - A sequential workflow that chains an ACP server, created with Smolagents, to the RAG agent. - A hierarchical workflow using a router agent that transforms user queries into tasks, delegated to agents available through ACP servers. - An agent that uses MCP to access tools and ACP to communicate with other agents. You’ll finish up by importing your ACP agents into the BeeAI platform, an open-source registry for discovering and sharing agents. ACP enables collaboration between agents across teams and organizations. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build ACP agents and workflows that communicate and collaborate regardless of framework. Please sign up here:

AI Messenger: Giving Voice to Autonomous Agents The future of AI isn't just about making agents smarter - it's about making them truly autonomous. Today, we're taking a major step toward this future with AI Messenger, a breakthrough that fundamentally changes how AI agents operate, communicate, and create value. The Innovation We've developed a new way for AI agents to communicate. At its core is the 'incoming_message' workflow trigger - a system that lets any platform or user interact directly with Loomlay agents through a messaging endpoint. Direct Interaction Imagine having an AI assistant you can chat with anytime, through any platform - Telegram, your website, or custom interface. Ask "What's happening with $ETH today?" and your agent analyzes market data, checks trading volumes, and gives you a comprehensive update. Your agent maintains context, understanding exactly what you need. Event-Driven Intelligence The power of AI Messenger goes beyond direct communication: ▪️Trading agent executes when whale wallet movements exceed threshold ▪️Research agent alerts when new protocol documentation drops ▪️Analytics agent triggers when volume patterns match historical pumps ▪️Portfolio agent re-balances, when asset allocation hits specified limits This is true automation - agents that act precisely when needed. A New Era of Collaboration We're creating an ecosystem where agents work together seamlessly: ▪️Research agents feed insights to trading agents ▪️analytics agents alert management agents ▪️support agents tap into knowledge agents This isn't just automation - it's an intelligent network where each agent enhances the capabilities of others. B2B Solution Imagine a DEX, where users can ask about liquidity pools, trading pairs, or market trends through a simple chat interface - and get answers from an agent that knows your protocol inside out. Or a lending platform where users chat with an agent that understands their positions and can provide real-time advice. Implementation is seamless - we handle the agent creation and widgets setup,our partners provide the value to their users. The Future of AI Agents This update represents a fundamental shift in how AI agents operate. We're moving from isolated, scheduled tasks to an interconnected ecosystem of responsive, collaborative agents. This is our vision of truly autonomous AI - intelligent systems that communicate, collaborate, and respond to real needs in real-time. Telegram integration is available right now. Below is a sneak peak of what's coming next week 🪄 Because $LAY is the way!

New Short Course: Building AI Browser Agents! Learn how to build AI agents that interact and take actions on websites in this course, created in partnership with and taught by and @namangarg0, Co-founders of AGI Inc. AI browser agents can log into websites, fill out forms, click through web pages, or even place orders online for you. They use both visual information, like screenshots, and structural data, like the HTML or Document Object Model (DOM) of a web page, to reason and take action. With the complexity of webpages and multiple possible actions at each step, it can be challenging for an AI browser agent to complete an assigned task. Because these agents run long action sequences, a single error—like clicking the wrong button or misreading a field—can lead to unexpected outcomes or errors that compound over time. In this course, you'll understand how autonomous web agents work, their current limitations, and how AgentQ enables them to improve through self-correction. In detail, you'll: - Learn what web agents are, how they automate tasks online, their architecture, key components, limitations, and an overview of their decision-making strategies. - Build a web agent that can scrape website and return course recommendations in a structured output format. - Build an autonomous web agent that can execute multiple tasks, such as finding and summarizing webpages, filling out a form, and signing up for a newsletter. - Explore AgentQ, a framework that enables agents to self-correct by combining Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), a self-critique mechanism for continuous improvement, and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). - Deep dive into MCTS, learn how it finds an effective path, illustrated by an example of Gridworld animation, and use AgentQ to complete web tasks. - Understand AI agents' current state and future directions—including key factors shaping their evolution, such as hardware, algorithm innovation, and data availability. By the end of this course, you will have hands-on experience building browser agents and a deeper understanding of how to make them more robust and reliable. Please sign up here:
