Sriram Krishnan: the Personal Agent Protocol "reminds me of when oauth was developed"

Posted 20:05 UTC on 6 Oct, quoting Bret Taylor's announcement: "this reminds me of when oauth was developed in the early 2000s - something that needs to be built cross-industry as an open standard and have buy in." He adds that "the larger question is how will large retailers and aggregators - Amazon, airlines, etc react and handle an era where they can't own the final user experience."

this reminds me of when oauth was developed in the early 2000s - something that needs to be built cross-industry as an open standard and have buy in.

the larger question is how will large retailers and aggregators - Amazon, airlines, etc react and handle an era where they can't own the final user experience.

Quoting @btaylor: Today we’re announcing Personal Agent Protocol — an open standard @Meta and @SierraPlatform are developing along with industry partners at @Genesys, @instinct, @RocketOTD, @Shopify, @stripe, and @Walmart. It will help define how personal agents interact with businesses and is open for anyone to implement. You can read more here - and if anyone is interested in joining let me know! https://sierra.ai/blog/introducing-personal-agent-protocol
