Could you build this?
Yes Building an open-source multi-agent communication framework over standard agent-to-agent protocols (HTTP/WebSocket JSON schemas) is typical orchestration software that AI coding tools handle easily.
Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: AutoGen, MCP (Model Context Protocol), LangChain, CrewAI
Concerns raised: Unclear user value proposition and practical use cases, LLMs unreliable for real-world engineering problems (speed, reliability, correctness), Agents may produce unpredictable or 'weird outputs', Questions about whether standardized protocols actually matter if LLMs can figure it out anyway, Concerns about AI incentives to present limited options to users rather than full transparency
Feature requests: Clear user-facing documentation of specific capabilities (e.g., flight booking examples), Support for RPG-style dynamic NPC agents with persistent context, Integration with established API gateway infrastructure (AWS Gateway, Apigee, Kong)
