About
The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open interoperability standard designed to enable seamless communication between AI agents, applications, and human users. It provides a standardized RESTful API that supports synchronous and asynchronous interactions, streaming communication, long-running tasks, and both stateful and stateless operations. ACP is framework-agnostic, allowing agents built with technologies such as BeeAI, LangChain, CrewAI, or custom solutions to work together without requiring changes to their internal architecture. The protocol supports all content modalities through MimeTypes, making it flexible enough to handle text, images, audio, video, and custom data formats. ACP also includes capabilities for online and offline agent discovery, helping organizations find and connect compatible agents across different environments.

About
Microsoft Agent Framework is an open source SDK and runtime designed to help developers build, orchestrate, and deploy AI agents and multi-agent workflows using languages such as .NET and Python. It combines the simple agent abstractions of AutoGen with the enterprise-grade capabilities of Semantic Kernel, including session-based state management, type safety, middleware, telemetry, and broad model and embedding support, creating a unified platform for both experimentation and production use. It introduces graph-based workflows that give developers explicit control over how multiple agents interact, execute tasks, and coordinate complex processes, enabling structured orchestration across sequential, concurrent, or branching scenarios. It supports long-running and human-in-the-loop workflows through robust state management, allowing agents to maintain context, reason through multi-step problems, and operate continuously over time.
