Why an Open Agentic Cloud Means You Won't Get Locked Into One AI Vendor

Big tech companies usually want to keep you inside their walls. If you build your business processes inside one specific system, moving them later is often expensive and slow. Huawei Cloud recently announced a shift toward an Open Agentic Cloud. This signals a change in how you can build AI tools without getting stuck with a single provider.

An agent is a piece of software that can perform tasks, make decisions, and use other tools for you. Huawei's rollout of the AgentArts platform and the open-source version, openJiuwen, lets businesses mix and match different AI models. They use the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which acts like a universal plug for AI. It allows different AI agents to talk to the same data and tools regardless of who built them.

For a business owner, this means you can wire up a customer service agent using one provider's brain and a sales agent using another, but they both access your same inventory list. Huawei has already opened up over 5,000 of these general MCP assets. This reduces the risk of building a custom workflow only to have the vendor raise prices or change the rules on you later.

The infrastructure side is also changing. A new memory storage solution provides twice the capacity of typical industry products, which helps if you run complex agents that manage large amounts of company data over several days. You don't need to be a developer to see the value. The Industry AI Foundry has already put together over 1,000 reusable assets for fields like healthcare and manufacturing.

Instead of building from scratch, you can stack these existing templates to create your own custom agents. The goal is to move from experimental projects to real production environments where the AI works reliably every day.

We walk through the exact steps to set up your first agent without writing code.

Take the first step: Look at your most repetitive task this week and ask if it requires memory of past steps. If it does, an agentic approach is likely the right fit.
