Sierra publishes draft Personal Agent Protocol with Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Bank of America as design partners

Sierra published a draft of its Personal Agent Protocol, known as Poppy, and named 35 additional design partners, including Bank of America, BBVA, Mastercard, PayPal, Visa and Wells Fargo.
