AI agents are moving beyond single enterprises to operate across company boundaries, exposing a critical coordination gap: agents built on different frameworks lack shared identity, messaging standards and trust models. AGNTCY, an open-source project backed by Cisco, Dell, Google Cloud, Oracle and Red Hat under Linux Foundation governance, is emerging as infrastructure to enable secure agent-to-agent workflows across organisational boundaries.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and AI Infrastructure.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building agents, you're currently writing one-off integrations to talk to other companies' agents; AGNTCY just became the plumbing layer that replaces that custom work, and Cisco, Google, Oracle and Red Hat are already betting on it. The market is consolidating around a standard before most founders realise it exists.
