The Problem: Enterprise AI faces a critical fragmentation crisis. When organizations deploy agents from different vendors—LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI—they can't communicate or collaborate. "You can't have a singular agent solve for larger goals," explains Vijoy Pandey from Cisco's Outshift. "We're moving from deterministic to probabilistic computing, requiring subject matter expert agents that must collaborate."
Cisco's Solution: AGNTCY emerged from Cisco's Outshift incubator to solve this exact problem—creating standardized protocols for agent discovery, identity, messaging, and observability. Think "Internet of Agents" where any AI agent can find, authenticate with, and securely communicate with any other agent, regardless of framework or vendor.
Why Linux Foundation Governance: Cisco donated AGNTCY to Linux Foundation for neutral governance and industry-wide adoption. With founding members including Dell, Google Cloud, Oracle, and Red Hat, plus 75+ contributors, AGNTCY is positioned to become the TCP/IP for AI agent communication.
Learn how Cisco's internal deployment saved 3 FTE worth of work, reduced SRE response times from days to minutes, and why post-quantum cryptography is built into every agent conversation.
