Yesterday, I woke up to an email inviting me to join the AAIF Ambassador program. Needless to say, I accepted.
Agents are having their moment. Everyone is racing to ship them, but there’s still no agreement on how they should communicate, discover capabilities, or share context. We’re building platforms for them before we’ve defined how they coordinate.
That’s where the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) comes in. Part of the Linux Foundation, AAIF is the neutral, open home for agentic AI projects and standards. Currently, this includes:
-
Model Context Protocol (MCP): A protocol to connect LLM applications with external data sources and tools. It provides SDKs for multiple languages, including TypeScript, Go, Python, and PHP. It is available under the Apache-2.0 license. Learn more and contribute.
-
Goose: A general-purpose AI agent that runs locally on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It supports multiple LLMs and extensions via MCP. It is available under the MIT license. Learn more and contribute.
-
AGENTS.md: A simple, standard way of providing instructions to AI coding agents in a Markdown file. It is available under the MIT license. Learn more and contribute.
-
agentgateway: A proxy for agentic communication with built-in security and observability. It is available under the Apache-2.0 license. Learn more and contribute.
All these projects are available under open source licenses and open to contributions from the community.
The AAIF Ambassador program is a volunteer-driven, invitation-only initiative of the AAIF. There is no commercial relationship involved; the program is focused on helping developers understand and adopt AAIF projects in real-world use cases through developer education and community activities. Learn more about how to join the program.
As an Ambassador, I’ll be building, breaking, benchmarking, and writing about agent swarms, durable workflows, shared context, observability, sandboxes, and production agent infrastructure. Stay tuned.
