Artificial intelligence was once a buzzword. Now, it's a background presence in your phone, your inbox, your calendar, whether you realise it or not. However, despite all this progress, AI tools still feel isolated. Conversations don’t carry over, tasks restart from scratch, and systems don’t talk to each other.
That’s about to change.
In this debut episode of Decoded: AI for Everyone, we explore two emerging protocols — Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A) — that are set to redefine how AI works across your life. These standards enable AI to retain memory, context, and the ability to coordinate in the background, quietly making your digital life smarter and smoother.
Imagine an AI that:
Doesn’t ask you to repeat yourself
Works across apps, devices, and systems
Anticipates needs and completes tasks — often without a prompt
This is AI as silent infrastructure. Not flashy. Not noisy. Just helpful.
We break down what MCP and A2A are, why they matter, and how they’re shifting AI from disconnected assistants to collaborative agents, reshaping your daily workflow, your productivity, and even your relationship with technology.
In this episode:
What MCP and A2A actually do
Real-world examples you’ll notice
Why this shift matters for individuals and businesses
How to prepare for a world of connected AI agents
