Microsoft adopts Google’s standard for linking up AI agents

Microsoft says it adopts the recently launched Google to allow AI to communicate with each other.

On Wednesday, Microsoft announced that it will provide support for the specifications of Google Agent2age (A2A to two AI, Azure Ai Foundry and Copilot Studio. Microsoft also joined the A2A working group on GitHub to contribute to the protocol and tools.

“By supporting the A2A and building on the open synchron platform, we set the basis for the next generation of software – cooperative, which can be observed, and adapting by design,” the company wrote in a blog post. “The best agents will not live in one application or cloud; it will work in the flow of work, extension models, domains, and ecosystems.”

The A2A, which Google has been revealed in early April, allows agents-semi-independent programs supported by artificial intelligence-to work together through clouds, applications and various services. Using the protocol, agents can exchange goals and call procedures. The developers get a set of inter -operating components that they can use to ensure the agent’s cooperation in a safe way.

Once A2A’s support arrives at Azure Ai Foundry and Copilot Studio, designer agents will be able to use platforms to take advantage of external agents of the tasks, including agents created using other tools or hosts outside Microsoft. For example, the Microsoft Undersecretary can set the date of a meeting while the Google agent develops email.

Although it is far from perfection, the mother’s technology attracts increased investment as institutions are looking to adopt to increase productivity. According to a recent KPMG survey, 65 % of companies try artificial intelligence agents. market and market projects will grow the AI ​​sector of 7.84 billion dollars in 2025 to 52.62 billion dollars by 2030.

Microsoft’s decision to throw its weight behind A2A comes after the company provided MCP support, the anthropier standard to connect artificial intelligence to the systems in which the data is located, at the Copilot Studio. Other major models, including Google and Openai, announced that they would adopt MCP earlier this year.
