Accenture rolls out solution for AI agent collaboration

Accenture has launched Trusted Agent Huddle, a new feature of its AI Refinery platform, aimed at enabling AI agents from different systems and vendors to work together in a single platform. ‘Huddle’ will allow organisations to select and manage the right agents for different tasks and business objectives, without having to become locked into specific vendor ecosystems.

Trusted Agent Huddle uses open communication standards, such as Agent2Agent and Model Context Protocol, to enable agents from platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Salesforce, and others to interoperate. It also includes an algorithm that evaluates how well individual agents perform, with plans to introduce a trust scoring system in the future. ‘Huddle’ is part of Accenture’s AI Refinery, which is built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise. It can also integrate with NVIDIA’s Agent Intelligence toolkit to further support communication between agents and systems

The system is intended to let businesses coordinate AI-driven processes that span across multiple tools or platforms without needing to rebuild or replace existing software. It supports agents built on cloud-hosted models and allows organisations to manage and adapt them as business needs change. FedEx is among the first companies working with Accenture to explore how the tool could be used in supply chain operations.

Agentic AI is one of the big themes for 2025, as covered in our 2025 Predictions. Alongside the adoption of more autonomous agents and advanced copilots, we also highlighted that “These agents will take many forms, requiring both human oversight and new “orchestration agents” to manage deployment across different business domains”. There is a growing need for interoperability in AI systems, as companies increasingly adopt tools from multiple providers, but which may not necessarily work seamlessly together. System integrators are going to be well placed to act as the orchestrators of this new agentic fuelled market, and it would seem Accenture is ahead of the game in productising a solution to exploit this.
