14:30:43 <ddahl> rrsagent, make logs public
14:37:20 <ddahl> gerard: MPAI is another protocol for inter-agent communication
14:37:54 <ddahl> topic: Agent AI protocol community group
14:38:27 <ddahl> MPAI https://mpai.community
14:38:39 <ddahl> gerard: multimodal conversation
14:39:44 <ddahl> ...you have to pay to be a member, but not to participate
14:40:19 <ddahl> ...using the spec doesn't cost
14:44:23 <ddahl> debbie: we should be trying to reach out and talk to them
14:44:43 <ddahl> gerard: we need to find out about their meetings
14:45:25 <ddahl> debbie: we should look at this paper
14:45:28 <ddahl> https://w3c-cg.github.io/ai-agent-protocol/
14:46:19 <ddahl> following on from https://agent-network-protocol.com/
14:49:01 <ddahl> debbie: we should read the paper and then have some discussion
14:53:18 <ddahl> issue 65, we should add a column for requirements
14:55:02 <ddahl> topic: issue 65
14:55:21 <ddahl> version is a requirement
14:56:25 <ddahl> gerard: all the general features are of interest
14:56:29 <ddahl> debbie: location?
14:56:44 <ddahl> gerard: yes, depending on the application
14:58:36 <ddahl> debbie: what about semantics?
14:59:20 <ddahl> ...agents don't need semantics anymore because of LLMs
15:00:07 <ddahl> gerard: Open Voice uses which LLM?
15:00:31 <ddahl> ...if you use RAG you're back to structured semantics
15:01:46 <ddahl> debbie: external agents are not supposed to need to know the internal semantics
15:02:33 <ddahl> kaz will you be joining us in voice interaction?
15:03:30 <ddahl> debbie: whether or not semantics format is a requirement should be further discussed
