A2A Protocol Stalls a Year After Launch; Reddit User Calls for Community-Built Agent Platform
Melodic_Toe_3861 · reddit · 2026-08-21
A Reddit user asks why Google's Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, hyped as an industry watershed at release, still has virtually no app support a year later.
He points out the contradiction that startups building "AI agents" that supposedly outperform humans still require a human operator. His proposed solution: the community builds its own application/website for accessing other agents, with memory, cron jobs, and authentication baked in, plus a harness for agent collaboration and a discovery layer — and calls for collaborators.
