Agent Communication Language (ACL)

Agent Communication Language (ACL) is a set of standardized rules and formats that enable software agents—programs designed to perform specific tasks—to communicate effectively with each other. Think of it as a common language that ensures agents understand messages such as requests, responses, or information sharing, regardless of their underlying systems. By using ACL, agents can coordinate, collaborate, and achieve complex goals collaboratively, much like professionals using a shared language to coordinate tasks smoothly. This standardization improves interoperability and efficiency in multi-agent systems across various applications.
