I see a lot of confusion and speculation around the meaning. So here is how I understand what it is: An Agent can define, select and run workflows. An Agent is not a personality (very bad wording for a prompt that defines the contextual appearance of a text generation process - maybe “synthetic…

[image] sergeliatko: agents.ai Nah, when you go to their website you can see “product”. Mine is not a product. It is going to be open sourced and free to use. (well, you may have to pay to use resources on other machines - but I am sure there will be people who will donate some compute for …

[image] sergeliatko: description of what an agent does Which can be pretty complex - especially when you have a million agents that analyse bacteria types with 50k attributes - I am not really deep into that alphafold stuff - but I am sure there can be pretty big descriptions.

More like a shorter versions of API definitions: name category short description long description (1 page max) full doc url entry endpoint url (MCP server entry) skills owner ID pricing admin contacts Just for the registry to have a rough idea of what this thing is about with a mean to dig furthe…
