Standard protocol and runtime to connect heterogeneous AI agents

Standard protocol and runtime to connect heterogeneous AI agents targets a $18.0B = 90,000 relevant enterprises × $200K ACV (AI integration + orchestration + governance spend per org per year) total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 30% YoY — based on IDC/Forrester estimates for AI infrastructure and orchestration spending in enterprise IT (2024-2026 forecasts).

Key trends driving demand: Proliferation of vendor-specific agents — enterprises are adopting multiple agents from different vendors, creating demand for a neutral interoperability layer.; Shift from single-agent apps to multi-agent workflows — businesses want agents to collaborate (planning, tool-use, handoffs), which requires standardized protocols and shared state.; Rising compliance and security requirements — CISOs demand observability and policy enforcement for autonomous agent actions, opening opportunities for governance tooling.; Composability and marketplaces — teams want to mix and match best-of-breed agents, which creates demand for registries and connector marketplaces to discover and monetize agent capabilities..
