The Internet of Agents (IoA) framework has the potential to revolutionize multi-agent systems by enabling seamless integration of diverse third-party agents, supporting distributed collaboration, and providing dynamic communication mechanisms. IoA's ability to overcome existing limitations in multi-agent frameworks can lead to advanced and impactful multi-agent systems, paving the way for more sophisticated and adaptable AI solutions in various domains.

IoA uses an instant messaging-like architecture for dynamic teaming and flexible communication. It employs a finite-state machine for conversation flow control, inspired by Speech Act Theory. Key mechanisms include agent registration and discovery, autonomous team formation, structured conversation flow, and task assignment and execution.

The creation of the IoA framework was inspired by the success of the Internet in fostering human collaboration through projects like Wikipedia and Linux. The researchers aimed to create a similar platform for autonomous agents, enabling efficient orchestration of diverse third-party agents to enhance their collaborative potential.
