NLIP is a practical interoperability standard for AI agents that lets you build agents independently and have them work together seamlessly, similar to how different web services communicate via HTTP.
This paper introduces NLIP, a standardized communication protocol that lets AI agents built with different frameworks and tools talk to each other. Like HTTP for web servers, NLIP provides a common language for agents to exchange messages, coordinate work, and access shared tools—enabling organizations to mix-and-match agent systems without rebuilding everything from scratch.
