For immediate release

Epistema demonstrates live A2A semantic-assurance proof across an agent platform.

Standards-based agent transport connects an upstream Azure AI Foundry agent to a deployed, read-only Epistema assurance endpoint.

VANCOUVER, August 27, 2026 — Epistema today announced a live agent-to-agent (A2A) semantic-assurance proof exercised through Microsoft Azure AI Foundry. The demonstration marks a practical step toward portable semantic assurance across agent platforms and protocols.

In the demonstration, an upstream agent discovers Epistema through an Agent Card, invokes it via standards-based HTTPS JSON-RPC, submits a proposed commitment with evidence, and receives a structured, read-only semantic assessment. When presented with fabricated approval evidence, the system deferred rather than accepted the commitment. The readout did not authorize action or mutate governed state.

“Agent platforms provide identity, context, orchestration, tools, and execution. Epistema adds a complementary assurance layer that answers a different question: Is a consequential action warranted by the evidence and authority available now?”

— Yves Le Goff, Founder, Epistema
