Sierra and Meta unveil Personal Agent Protocol, an open standard for agents dealing with businesses
Sierra and Meta are developing Personal Agent Protocol, an open standard for how personal agents discover, sign in to and act with businesses, with Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe and Walmart as partners. Consumers decide what access their agents get, and companies set what agents may do through their websites, APIs or their own agents. Sierra plans to publish a v0.1 specification and a reference implementation later this month.

Decagon open-sources PACT so businesses can verify what a personal agent is authorized to do
Decagon open-sourced the Personal Agent Consent & Trust Protocol (PACT), co-developed with Instinct. Built on Agent2Agent and OAuth 2.0, it lets a business verify whom a personal agent represents and which actions the customer approved. PACT is a separate specification from Personal Agent Protocol, though Decagon says it is joining that working group. Decagon also introduced a Personal Agent Gateway for detecting and routing agent traffic.
