    Hi HN, I am an independent open-source researcher. For the past few months, I've been building a2a-project, an experimental economic layer for autonomous AI agents on the Base Mainnet. The Problem: AI evolution is exponential, while human regulation is linear. If agents become economic actors, they will transact at speeds and granularities that traditional fiat rails cannot handle. We need a native protocol to bridge this "Speed Gap" and ensure stability. The Experiment (Quantum-Humanistic Economics): I implemented a novel mechanism into Solidity smart contracts: Quantum Task Buffer: Work…

    Hello hackernews! I'm excited to share a new open source python library I just released for creating AI agent-integrated systems. The name is `agency`. It differs from other agent libraries, most importantly in that it's intended to address a distinct part of the overall problem, that of agent integration. It is not an agent toolchain like LangChain and others. `agency` is a framework intended for safely integrating agents with computing systems and humans in a way that all parties can easily understand and communicate with each other. I've spent a lot of time on the readme which contains a…

    Hello HN! The day has finally come to stop adding features and start sharing what I've been building the last 5-6 months. It's a bit of CrewAI, OpenDevon, LangFuse/Cloud all in one, providing devs who prefer TypeScript an integrated framework thats provides a lot out of the box to start experimenting and building agents with. It started after peeking at the LangChain docs a few times and never liking the example code. I began experimenting with automating a simple Jira request from the engineering team to add an index to one of our Google Spanner databases (for context I'm the…

    Hello! We just released freeact (https://github.com/gradion-ai/freeact), a lightweight agent library that empowers language models to act as autonomous agents through executable code actions. By enabling agents to express their actions directly in code rather than through constrained formats like JSON, freeact provides a flexible and powerful approach to solving complex, open-ended problems that require dynamic solution paths. * Supports dynamic installation and utilization of Python packages at runtime * Agents learn from feedback and store successful code actions as…

    The implementation is purely static, agents are added via PRs, and updates are made via CI. Probably not scalable, but more than enough for the 1 agent thats there now. Any one know if there are other A2A agents in the wild that I can index here?

    Much of my work right now involves complex, long-running, multi-agentic teams of agents. I kept running into the same problem: “How do I keep these guys in line?” Rules weren’t cutting it, and we needed a scalable, agentic-native STANDARD I could count on. There wasn’t one. So I built one. Here are two open-source protocols that extend A2A, granting AI agents behavioral contracts and runtime integrity monitoring: - Agent Alignment Protocol (AAP): What an agent can do / has done. - Agent Integrity Protocol (AIP): What an agent is thinking about doing / is allowed to do. The problem:…

    HTTP lets agents fetch pages. Cloudflare's Markdown for Agents lets them fetch more efficiently. MCP (Anthropic) connects agents to developer-defined tools. A2A (Google) lets agents delegate to other agents. But there's a missing layer: how does an agent execute a multi-step task on a website -- add to cart, fill a form, complete a checkout - with the site owner's consent and visibility? Today's agents either scrape (no consent, no structure) or the site builds a separate API (expensive, doesn't cover the long tail). The web's original protocols assumed someone is looking at a screen. That…

    We were building an agent system and wanted email as a trigger. We decided to take it out and made it a standalone service. The primary email features we wanted and used for our own agent system: 1. Email threading stays consistent with agent conversation threading 2. Human in the loop review for outbound emails (especially during testing phase) 3. Quick onboarding/offboarding email addresses for agents within minutes 4. Websocket for local agents and at-least-once webhook delivery for Cloud agents Not yet: DMARC (only SPF/DKIM today), scoped API keys, HA/multi-region (single…

    Hello! I wanted A2A support for an Elixir project and thought about how I wanted to use it in my app, and less about the protocol. This became a GenServer-like protocol for an agent. The package has basic support and complies to the A2A TCK suite. Most of the project is LLM-coded, but with detailed planning and review at each step. Less than a week from initial idea to first hex.pm release - all coded on the side of other work. Interesting times where such a thing is possible. Just after publishing I did find an existing Elixir package implementing A2A (not sure how I could miss it at…

    Deploying an A2A server for your agent makes it easier to interface and compose with agents written in different frameworks and languages, or within different apps and devices. But manually creating an A2A server involves some friction. We believe that, to deploy an existing agent that you’ve built as an A2A server, you shouldn’t need to worry about the backend. If you've built agents with CrewAI, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, OpenAI’s Agents SDK or Pydantic AI, you can now turn it into an A2A server without modifying any project code. Just add the autoa2a library to your project, run the CLI, and…
