The Agent2Agent (A2A) Protocol, a new open standard, is initiated by Google along with over 50 partners (like Salesforce, SAP, Cohere, LangChain, etc.). It aims to solve a big challenge: getting AI agents built by different companies and on different frameworks to actually communicate and collaborate effectively.
A2A provides a common language for agents to discover each other's capabilities, exchange information securely, and coordinate actions across various systems. It nicely complements Anthropic's MCP, which focuses on agent-tool interaction.
So MCP (for tools) + A2A (for collaboration), are we now seeing the very foundational pillars for the coming Agent era?

Wow! cool thing
Really interesting to see big players like Google backing this. A2A sounds like a game-changer for agent communication!
