OpenAI joins Meta and Sierra's Agent protocol, with the first draft published early

Beating AI news: Meta and Sierra have launched a personal Agent protocol PAP and published the first 0.1 draft, Poppy, ahead of schedule. OpenAI, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and other 35 companies have newly joined its development.PAP The issue it seeks to address is how companies can verify the identity of a personal Agent acting on behalf of a user, determine which authorizations it has received, and establish what actions it can perform.

At present, many Agent still operate websites by imitating human actions—logging into accounts, clicking buttons, and completing forms. Companies find it difficult to distinguish whether a visitor is a person or an Agent, and cannot restrict its actions independently. Poppy requires companies to publish a standardized access file on their websites, listing login methods, available APIs, and the entry point for the company's customer-service Agent.Agent must identify itself, and must obtain authorization when accessing a user's account.

Different vendors supporting PAP can connect to corporate services under the same set of rules, using websites,Agent or a company's own API to act on the user's behalf, and continue the same session across supported channels. Companies still need to make the relevant services available, but do not need to design separate identity verification and authorization processes for each Agent. Sierra previously demonstrated on stage how Meta Muse used Agent to find the PAP of mortgage company Rocket. After the user granted authorization, the two Agent worked together to complete mortgage pre-approval.

Companies retain control over access permissions. For example, a merchant may allow Agent to initiate a return while prohibiting it from modifying the user's saved payment information, and may directly reject access by a specific Agent. However, Poppy is still a draft that may be revised. Although payment companies including Visa and PayPal participated in its development, payment and proactive notification features have not yet been included.
