Sierra和Meta正在开发个人代理协议，这是一个开放标准，定义了个人人工智能代理如何与企业进行身份验证以及这些企业让他们做什么，包括Genesys、Instinct、Rocket、Shopify、Stripe和Walmart。v0.1规范将于本月到期，付款被列为未来扩展而不是其中的一部分。
Sierra and Meta are developing Personal Agent Protocol, an open standard defining how personal AI agents authenticate with businesses and what those businesses let them do, with Genesys, Instinct, Rocket, Shopify, Stripe and Walmart. A v0.1 specification is due this month, and payments are listed as a future extension rather than part of it.
Meta和Sierra正在为个人人工智能代理如何与企业对话编写标准。Stripe和Shopify是合作伙伴之一。两者都已经加入了Visa运营的竞争协议。
Meta and Sierra are writing a standard for how personal AI agents talk to businesses. Stripe and Shopify are among the partners. Both have already joined a rival protocol run by Visa.
Sierra在Bret Taylor和Clay Bavor的一篇文章中表示，个人代理协议旨在处理身份验证并向公司展示代理在其网站上做什么。其他被点名的合作伙伴包括Genesys、Instinct、Rocket和Walmart。v0.1规范将于本月晚些时候发布。
Personal Agent Protocol is meant to handle authentication and show companies what agents are doing on their sites, Sierra said in a post by Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor. The other partners named are Genesys, Instinct, Rocket and Walmart. A v0.1 specification is due later this month.
会话基于OAuth构建。代理可以以访客身份开始检查库存或退货政策，一旦客户登录，他们就会决定它是获得只读访问权限还是写访问权限。该会议跨渠道进行，因此提出的问题和随后更改的顺序属于一次访问。
Sessions are built on OAuth. An agent can start as a guest to check stock or a returns policy, and once a customer signs in they decide whether it gets read-only or write access. The session carries across channels, so a question asked beforeg in and an order changed afterwards belong to one visit.
该公司选择代理是通过其网站、通过使用HCP和OpenAPI等标准的API还是通过自己的代理工作。
The company chooses whether the agent works through its website, through its APIs using standards such as MCP and OpenAPI, or through an agent of its own.
我们在6月份报道称，Visa已接入ChatGPT，因此代理商可以根据微软、Stripe、Shopify和Worldpay已经加入的可信代理协议从约1.75亿个商户那里进行购买。Stripe和Shopify现在都在其中。
We reported in June that Visa had plugged into ChatGPT so agents could buy from about 175 million merchants, under a Trusted Agent Protocol that Microsoft, Stripe, Shopify and Worldpay had already joined. Stripe and Shopify are now in both.
Rocket的声明称Meta的Muse代理人正在其平台上从寻找住所到安排融资。Muse于四周前推出，通过Stripe的Link使用保存的卡付款。特工们到达的速度比他们的工作安排要快。
Rocket’s statement names Meta’s Muse agent moving across its platform from finding a home to arranging the financing. Muse launched four weeks ago and pays using saved cards through Stripe’s Link. The agents are arriving faster than the arrangements they will work under.
Hark今天早上解雇了一家代理商，负责购买杂货、预订汽车和支付账单，距离硬件到期还有一年。所有这些最终都到达了欧洲。
Hark released an agent this morning that buys groceries, books cars and pays bills, a year before its hardware is due. All of them reach Europe eventually.
由软件代表某人批准的付款不会排除强客户身份验证，该身份验证是为批准与指定收款人和金额相关的交易的人编写的。Sierra将付款列为未来的扩展，而不是第一个规范的一部分。推送通知和更详细的权限也是未来的工作。
A payment approved by software on somebody’s behalf has no carve-out from strong customer authentication, which was written for a person approving a transaction tied to a named payee and an amount. Sierra lists payments as a future extension rather than part of the first specification. Push notifications and more detailed permissions are also future work.
其中一家合作伙伴拥有欧洲总部，那就是Stripe，在旧金山和都柏林设有双重总部。尚未有欧洲零售商、银行或支付公司被指定加入。
One partner has a European headquarters, and it is Stripe, which runs dual headquarters in San Francisco and Dublin. No European retailer, bank or payment company has been named as joining.
