Agents' next frontier: agent-to-agent and network effects — Jean-Denis Greze, Town
Jean-Denis Greze, former CTO at Plaid and now at Town, argues that agent-to-agent communication is not the critical issue — instead, it's about delivering the right information in context when the agent needs it.
He presents five strategies for how agents can share information across boundaries while protecting privacy: shared trust boundaries (where the agent gets the same access as the least privileged person), tools that balance power against secrecy, shared silos with a "sweeper agent" that daily determines what can leave private areas, people as intermediaries, and a black box that searches through everything and requests approval afterward. Each of the strategies leaks information in its own way.
