Re: Exploring Collaboration Between AI Agent Protocol CG and WebAgents CG

I would suggest that someone build a table of the scope of these efforts and others, a quick search already shows a “busy” space, and it is hard for a solution builder to choose an approach or promote a standard.

Dear WebAgents Community Members,

Hello!

 

My name is Gaowei Chang, and I’m one of the co-chairs of the newly formed AI Agent Protocol Community Group at W3C, alongside Song Xu. I am also the initiator of the open-source Agent Network Protocol (ANP). A few months ago, I had the opportunity to present ANP to the WebAgents CG — thank you again for the warm reception at that time.

 

Our new CG is focused on the design and standardization of protocols between AI agents. The goal is to develop secure, interoperable, and scalable mechanisms to support agent communication and collaboration on the Web — particularly as intelligent agents become first-class participants in Web ecosystems.

 

While our focus areas may differ slightly, we see a lot of synergy between our two groups. Topics such as agent discovery, identity, interaction protocols, and metadata modeling are highly relevant to both communities.

 

We would love to explore avenues for collaboration, to avoid duplication and ensure that the Web benefits from a harmonized approach to agent interoperability. We welcome any opportunity to coordinate and exchange ideas with the WebAgents CG, and we’re open to participating in joint discussions or sessions.

 

Looking forward to connecting soon!

 

Best regards,

Gaowei Chang
