Agentic Web

The Agentic Web is a conceptual evolution of the World Wide Web where autonomous AI agents become primary actors alongside humans. The term describes an internet infrastructure optimized for agent-to-agent communication rather than human interaction.

Characteristics

Key characteristics of the Agentic Web include:

• Agent-native interfaces – APIs and protocols designed for machine consumption
• Decentralized identity – Agents authenticate via standards like W3C DID
• Autonomous collaboration – Agents form ad-hoc collaborations without human intervention
• Semantic data exchange – Structured, machine-readable information exchange

Enabling protocols

Several protocols aim to enable the Agentic Web:

• Agent Network Protocol – "HTTP of the Agentic Web"
• Agent-to-Agent Protocol – Enterprise agent collaboration
• Model Context Protocol – Tool and data integration
