AGNTCY is building the Internet of Agents to be accessible for all, focusing on innovation, development, and maintenance of software components and services for agentic workflows and multi-agent applications.
Discover:
1. Agent directory
- Registry for agent publishing and discovery
- Tracks reputation and quality
2. Open agent schema framework
- Standard metadata format for agent capabilities
- Verification for agent providers
- Specification at github.com/agntcy/oasf
Compose:
1. Agent connect protocol and SDK
- Standardized agent communication across frameworks
- Manages message passing, state, and context
- Specification at github.com/agntcy/acp-spec
What could these look like in action? A developer can find suitable agents in the directory (using OASF) and enable their communication with the agent connect protocol, regardless of frameworks.
AGNTCY is an open-source collective building infrastructure for AI agents to collaborate, led by Cisco, LangChain, Galileo, and other contributors. The initiative aims to create an open, interoperable foundation for agentic AI systems to work together seamlessly across different frameworks and vendors.
AGNTCY plans to develop key components such as an agent directory, an open agent schema framework, and an agent connect protocol to facilitate this interoperability.
A consortium of Cisco, Galileo, and LangChain proposes an open, scalable way to connect and coordinate AI across different frameworks, vendors, and infrastructure to manage the rapid evolution of AI agents.
SIEM market is undergoing significant changes, with many vendors included in Gartner's latest Magic Quadrant report. However, amid the cloud transformation, vendor consolidation, and competition and integration with extended detection and response (XDR), the future is uncertain. The recent acquisition of Splunk by Cisco and IBM selling its QRadar software-as-a-service (SaaS) assets to Palo Alto Networks indicate that some big players are shifting strategies. Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst Peter Firstbrook suggests that IBM is giving up on SIEM and SOAR markets in favor of XDR, while Cisco is trying to figure out how to integrate Splunk with its XDR strategy. Many existing SIEM vendors will either be acquired, shift toward niche markets, or go out of business. Over the next 10 years, the SIEM market will transition to a few dominant players offering integrated platforms supplemented by specialized partner solutions.
