What is A2A?

As the sophistication of AI systems grows, so has the ability to automate tasks. However, scaling multi-agent systems has been a major bottleneck for many engineers. Frameworks like LangGraph seek to solve this problem, but the framework is not very scalable and the api's don't always fit the needs of developers, can become outdated, and may introduce breaking changes...hence the need for custom agents, and modularity. A2A is an effort by Google to standardize inter-agent communication and allow developers to integrate the capabilities of various frameworks.
