Summary
A coalition of major tech companies including Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Salesforce, and others have announced a new open standard called Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD). This specification aims to enable AI agents to autonomously discover, publish, and verify AI capabilities across the web, effectively giving AI agents their own search engine for finding and using tools at runtime. The standard addresses the challenge of AI agents needing to dynamically discover and interact with APIs and services without human intervention, marking a significant step toward more autonomous AI systems.
