Redefining Openness in the Age of AI: Why Integration is the New Innovation
summary
JFrog claims integration, not new products, is the innovation: an initial GitHub Copilot integration that used an explicit "@JFrog" API call underperforms, so the platform exposes an MCP remote endpoint that lets Copilot learn capabilities and autonomously pick compliant packages — adoption improves. The talk argues business logic moves to agents, data becomes king, and protocols (MCP, A2A) replace REST; foundational platforms must be trusted single sources of truth and built with control by design to scale and stay secure.
