Soon, they will discover APIs. (Application Programming Interfaces). Where programs interact with each other with given contracts/protocols/prototypes.

Funnily enough, thats exactly what UTCP is. Its just a way to let your AI leverage existing APIs instead of doing any wrapper protocols (like MCP) for the tool call.

The protocol is only for discovery. It gets out of the way for the actual call

		That's fine. Wait until AI bros discover COM (Context Orchestration Mechanisms).

Sounds complex. We'll need an AI-enabled Google or Microsoft to figure this stuff out for us and sell as a cloud subscription service.

The common but lazy joke. This is about connecting agents which have a specific set of requirements about the apis they can call and existing APIs.
