Microsoft is adopting Google's newly launched Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, integrating it into its Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio platforms. This move aims to facilitate AI agents' collaborative functions across various applications, clouds, and ecosystems. With A2A, agents can securely exchange goals and actions, enabling developers to create complex workflows that include both Microsoft and external agents. As enterprises increasingly invest in agentic technology for productivity, Microsoftâs participation in the A2A working group highlights its commitment to shared protocols and innovation in AI development.
"By supporting A2A and building on our open orchestration platform, we're laying the foundation for the next generation of software - collaborative, observable, and adaptive by design."
"The best agents won't live in one app or cloud; they'll operate in the flow of work, spanning models, domains, and ecosystems."
