Pros
  • Backed by Linux Foundation with AWS, Google, Microsoft, IBM and others on the TSC
  • Official SDKs in Python, JS, Java, .NET, Go and Rust
  • Cleanly complements MCP rather than competing with it
  • Apache 2.0, no vendor lock-in or hosted dependency
  • Folders, search, and prompt library that the native ChatGPT UI lacks
  • Bulk export to PDF, Markdown, JSON, and TXT
  • Prompt queue lets you chain sequential prompts unattended
  • Conversation tree map makes branched chats navigable
  • Mature with 100K+ users and active development
Cons
  • A spec, not a product - you still have to build the agents
  • Standard is young and surface area is still evolving
  • Requires both ends to implement A2A to get value
  • Adoption outside founding vendors is still early
  • Only works with ChatGPT, not Claude or Gemini
  • Breaks occasionally when OpenAI ships UI changes
  • Some advanced features gated behind Pro
  • Browser extension means desktop Chrome/Edge only
