Building an ACP-Compatible Agent Live — Bennet Fenner, Zed
This talk introduces the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), a JSON RPC-based standard designed to unify interactions between AI coding agents and their clients. The core idea is to provide a consistent interface, similar to Language Server Protocol (LSP), allowing users to bring their preferred AI agent to various development tools. The presentation demonstrates how to build a minimal ACP-compatible coding agent live, showcasing the protocol's capabilities for tool use, streaming output, and file manipulation.
