The Agent-to-Web Framework (A2WF) Community Group has been proposed by Wolfgang Wimmer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The emergence of autonomous AI agents creates opportunities for interactions with sites that go beyond mere content consumption. AI agents will want to fill forms, book appointments, add items to carts, submit orders, etc. Website operators currently have no machine-readable way to govern these actions. Technologies such as\nrobots.txt and AIPREF address crawling and content use, but neither covers agent actions, authentication requirements, or human-in-the-loop verification.<\/p>\n\n
The mission of this group is to develop technology that enables website operators to publish machine-readable governance policies for AI agents.<\/p>\n\n
The Agent-to-Web Framework (A2WF) <\/a> is intended to serve as a starting point for discussion within the group, but is not intended to constrain the group’s discussions or decisions about future deliverables.<\/p>\n\n This group may publish Specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n \n You are invited to support the creation of this group<\/a>.\n Once the group has a total of 5 supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work. In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you, The Agent-to-Web Framework (A2WF) Community Group has been proposed by Wolfgang Wimmer: The emergence of autonomous AI agents creates opportunities for interactions with sites that go beyond mere content consumption.
