Meta and Partners Develop Open Standard for AI Business Interactions

Oct 6, 2026

AI Summary

Meta, along with companies like Walmart and Stripe, is creating a personal agent protocol to standardize interactions between AI agents and businesses. This initiative aims to enhance security and clarity in how AI agents access information, addressing concerns over unauthorized access and data scraping.

Meta has launched Muse, a popular personal AI agent, prompting the need for a standardized protocol for business interactions.
The personal agent protocol is an open standard developed by Meta, Walmart, Stripe, and others to regulate how AI agents communicate with businesses.
Bret Taylor, co-founder of Sierra and former Salesforce co-CEO, leads the initiative, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between AI agents and human users to mitigate risks.
The protocol aims to improve authentication and provide businesses with visibility into AI agent activities, similar to logging in with Google or Facebook credentials.
David Singleton from Meta highlighted the need for security, as personal information and payment details must be shared for effective AI agent functionality.
Muse has gained millions of users in the U.S. since its launch in September and is being used for various tasks, such as scheduling and shopping.
While OpenAI and Anthropic are not currently involved, Taylor hopes they will join the initiative to promote the open standard.
