I've been looking at all of the agent talk this past year with an open mind.

But I still do not know what a real use case for these would be (and don't say a travel agent). What is the point of these swarms of agents?

Can someone enlighten me?

While I am not familiar with OPs project,

I can somewhat answer this to best of my knowledge.

Right now, businesses communicate with REST Apis.

That is why we have API gateways like AWS Gateway, Apigee, WSO2 (company i used to work in), Kong, etc so businesses can securly deploy and expose APIS.

As LLMS gets better, the idea is we will evenutally move to a world where ai agents do most of business tasks. And businesses will want to expose ai agents instead of APIS.

This is where protocols like a2a comes in. Google partnering with some other giants introduced a2a protocol a while ago, it is now under linux foundation.

It is a standard for one agent to talk to another agent regardless of the framework (langchain, crewai etc) that is used to build the agent.

I see. If iiuc, it's like an extension to an API endpoint. Instead of exposing only endpoints, you can let a user describe an intent and have the agent do the work. Is this not also the goal of an MCP as well?

Can't you just put the agent behind a REST API and give the other agents a curl tool + doc?

We are working on an RPG game tailored for agents :) releasing soon.

I mean, I wrote bots to play MMORPGs when I was a teen/kid, but really, what's the point? Aren't games there to be enjoyed by things that can have experiences?

I don't think devs can answer that one, you'll have to ask VCs
