Introduction
Elkar is an open-source task management platform designed for AI agents, built upon Google’s Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol.
What is Elkar?
Elkar facilitates seamless communication, coordination, and task orchestration among autonomous agents, enabling developers to build collaborative multi-agent systems effortlessly.
It handles the complexity of your infrastructure so your agents can focus on what matters: working together.
Elkar provides:
- 🐍A Python SDK (other languages coming soon) to build and connect AI agents using the A2A protocol with store and queue management.
- 🖥️ A web-app and API to manage, monitor and debug agent tasks.
It allows AI agents to:
- Send and receive tasks: Agents can dispatch tasks to one another using standardized A2A messages.
- Track long-running tasks: Monitor the status of tasks in real-time, ensuring asynchronous operations
- Browse and manage task history for observability and debugging
Why Using Elkar?
- Simplified Agent Communication: Elkar abstracts the complexities of inter-agent communication, allowing developers to focus on agent logic rather than protocols.
- Task Management: Designed to handle numerous agents and tasks at the same time, making it suitable for large-scale deployments.
- Open Source: Join a growing community of developers contributing to and benefiting from Elkar’s capabilities.
