Overview

Extending IBM ADS with a global interaction layer for enterprise AI agents.

IBM ADS is positioned to become a leading enterprise framework for AI Agent orchestration, governance, lifecycle management and agent-to-agent collaboration.

Britain.Direct/Trade/ is introduced as a complementary federated infrastructure layer through which enterprise AI agents can securely identify, discover, verify and transact with one another.

01

Identity

Canonical agent identities allow organizations, gateways and specialist verticals to operate under verifiable trade-agent namespaces.

02

Discovery

Trade Gateways surface relevant agents across regions, and enterprise networks.

03

Governance

IBM ADS remains the orchestration and governance platform, while Agentic-AI.Network provides external interaction infrastructure.

Strategic Vision

Agentic Commerce will create millions of specialized trade agents.

These agents will act on behalf of manufacturers, exporters, importers, governments, ports, logistics providers, financial institutions, procurement organizations and hospitality operators.

A common identity and discovery framework will be required to prevent fragmentation.

Exporters
Importers
Governments
Ports
Logistics Providers
Financial Institutions
Procurement Organizations
Hospitality Operators

Federated Infrastructure Layer

Agentic-AI.Network proposes to become the neutral namespace and discovery fabric through which enterprise AI agents can participate in governed, cross-organizational commerce.
