AI30 Builder's Digest -Week #5

Your weekly dose of AI agent innovations

šŸ‘‹ Happy Wednesday! AI30.io Builder's Digest Weekly Round-Up is ready!

I'm seeing exciting momentum across the industry and with that our community keeps growing every week. šŸ”„ Unlock Lifetime Access. Join the community and get exclusive Friday deep dives.

⚔ TL;DR (This Week in AI Agents)

A2A is gaining significant traction. Many people believe Google is trying to replace MCPs with A2A, but I see it differently. MCP is like the TCP protocol. It enables agents to use tools. A2A, on the other hand, is more like HTTP, a standardized way for agents to communicate with each other

OpenAI has released o3 and o4-mini
o3 is OpenAI’s most advanced reasoning model yet. It excels at complex, multi-step tasks in coding, math, science, and visual perception, making 20% fewer major errors than its predecessor, o1. Read more

New TypeScript AI Agent Framework
VoltAgent is a new TypeScript framework for building AI agents. It supports dynamic prompts, built-in persistent memory, and a visual playground for testing agentic workflows. It feels similar to CrewAI, but with TypeScript. Read more

Google Standardizes Agent to Agent Communication
Google has introduced a new standard for Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication. Until now, agents lacked interoperability, and this new protocol aims to solve that. Read more

šŸ¤– A2A Protocol by Google - Google’s Agent2Agent Protocol. Collaborative way to help agents across different ecosystems communicate with each other.

šŸ•µļø ā€œVibe Codesā€ will get hacked - new vulnerability involving how Cursor, Windsurf and GitHub Copilot interpret certain Unicode characters. You can copy/paste things you can’t see, that can lead to backdoors, RAT (Remote Access Tools) and more. Be careful what you copy and paste!

āš™ļø Build Multi-Agent AI App with Google’s A2A Protocol - A great guide on building multi-agent systems using Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK), the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, and MCP. šŸ It’s Python-based, as ADK is built with Python.

šŸ’” My Take

We’re seeing new frameworks and protocols drop every week. Especially from giants like Google, Amazon, and others. That’s a powerful signal. We’re still extremely early in this space, which means now is the time to learn fast, experiment daily, build and ship.

If you commit just a few weeks to testing ideas, shipping agentic flows, and iterating quickly, you’ll be ahead of 99.999% of the world.

Got an idea? Don’t wait. Build it, break it, and rebuild it. The leverage is insane, and growing by the day.

šŸ”Ž Sneak Peek: Friday’s Deep-Dive (Premium)

I’ll be sharing deep dives every Friday with my premium community members.

This week, we’re diving into Mastra.ai a TypeScript framework backed by Y Combinator. I’ve been using Mastra extensively to build agents, and it’s incredibly easy to work with. The built-in development playground makes it especially powerful and fun to experiment with.

Content that I’ll cover in deep dive:

1. Introduction to Mastra.ai
- Overview of Mastra as an open-source TypeScript agent framework
- Key use cases and why choose Mastra for AI agent development
- Core architecture and design philosophy
- Primitives: Agents, Tools, Workflows, RAG, Integrations, Evals
- Supported LLM providers and model routing (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini)
2. Setting Up Your Mastra Development Environment
- Installation and project setup
- Exploring the Mastra agent development environment (local chat, state, and memory visualization)
- Introduction to the playground and documentation resources
3. Building Your First Agent
- Defining an agent: structure and main components
- Adding tools and memory to your agent
- Example: Creating a simple agent that responds to user prompts
4. Project: Building a Social Media Post Generation Agent
- Designing the agent: requirements and architecture
- Implementing tools for X and LinkedIn post formatting
- Workflow: End-to-end process from prompt to post-ready content
- Testing and refining the agent
