Poppulo + Google A2A: The Future of Workplace Communication

Picture this: Your HR benefits system detects lagging open enrollment, and its AI agent asks you if you’d like to initiate a communication to encourage employees to enroll in a healthcare plan. You accept, triggering Poppulo Agents to write, design, target, and send a communication to you for approval. You approve the message, which is then automatically scheduled and sent to employees during their personal peak engagement windows and on their preferred channels. The next day, your benefits system notifies you of a 20% increase in enrollment.

This isn’t a distant future vision—it’s the emerging reality of multi-agent-powered, hyper-personalized communication.

With 1,000+ applications in use at the average enterprise, the possibilities of how agents could work together to autonomously or semi-autonomously manage complex goals are vast. And it’s not just a game changer for communicators—it’s a leap forward in creating more seamless, responsive, and human employee experiences.

Why Poppulo Has Adopted Google’s Agent2Agent Protocol

Poppulo is proud to be one of the early adopters of the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, an open framework created by Google Cloud. A2A enables AI agents from different systems and vendors to communicate and collaborate—even when they operate in completely different environments.

In simpler terms, it’s like giving AI agents a shared language. This means no more hardcoded integrations, no more patchwork API workarounds—just clean, seamless communication between systems. For our customers, it’s the key to unlocking faster automation, more intelligent workflows, and richer cross-platform collaboration.

Poppulo’s Agent Orchestration Platform architecture layers A2A with Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide the best of both worlds: A2A powers inter-agent collaboration, while MCP enables agents to securely access tools and context to take meaningful action.

Shaping the Future of Work from the Inside Out

The adoption of A2A isn’t just a boon for IT or internal comms teams—it’s a catalyst for transforming the employee experience.

By embedding agentic AI into the everyday flow of work, Poppulo helps organizations move beyond static messages and one-size-fits-all communications. Employees receive smarter, more timely, and more relevant touchpoints that reflect the context of their role, location, preferences, and goals.

A few examples of how this plays out:

• Workplace Services + Comms: A facility’s AI agent detects a water leak and automatically notifies employees in the affected zone through their preferred channels, complete with detour maps and ETA on resolution.
• IT + Comms: When a major software update is deployed, the system flags potential security risks and triggers a targeted alert with FAQs, reducing ticket volume and improving compliance.
• Onboarding + Comms: New joiners automatically receive a personalized journey that guides them through their first month—complete with reminders for benefits enrollment, suggestions for key stakeholder meetings, and region-specific resources.

The result? Employees feel informed, supported, and valued—without needing to hunt for information or navigate fragmented systems.

What This Means for Communicators

For internal communications professionals, A2A supercharges your ability to deliver strategic value without being bottlenecked by disconnected tools or limited resources:

• Accelerated activation: Launch campaigns faster without waiting on custom integrations
• Real-time responsiveness: Communicate based on live signals from across the business
• Reduced overhead: Minimize manual effort with intelligent, context-aware automation
• Richer personalization: Tap into deeper context to tailor every message

Getting Started with Poppulo Agents

Announced in April, Poppulo’s suite of agents is designed to augment every phase of the communications lifecycle, from planning through to creation and analysis. The agents help internal communications teams overcome resource constraints, deliver more impactful communications, and gain new insights to refine their strategies—ultimately accelerating IC’s ability to support organizational transformation.

Poppulo customers interested in gaining early access to the agents are encouraged to connect with their CSM to get started.
