An agent's permissions can't be static when its task is unknown until runtime. WorkOS Airlock evaluates every agent action against its intent, then allows it, denies it, or sends it to a human.

Software always either worked or it didn't. Bits or bytes.
AI is a second material, with tolerances, not guarantees. The job moves toward architecture. Pick the material, then answer for cost and reliability.
Recap from an evening with @GergelyOrosz at our NY HQ: workos.com/blog/software-eng…
Agents need context from the apps your users live in. WorkOS Pipes now connects 300+ of them, including Render, Rippling, Ashby, and more with scoped tokens that refresh on their own. workos.com/docs/pipes
.@otter_ai turns every conversation into a searchable knowledge engine, transcribing meetings in real time and deploying AI agents that answer questions, draft follow-ups, and act on what's said. Powered by WorkOS. 🚀
.@FireworksAI_HQ transforms open models into your own specialized intelligence, fine-tuning and serving them at blazing-fast, production-grade speed. Powered by WorkOS. 🚀
Pipes gets your app or agent a valid token for 300+ providers with one call. And with Pipes Relay, WorkOS makes the provider call for you, so the token never enters your agent's runtime.

.@PaddleHQ puts global billing in your hands as the merchant of record that runs payments, tax, and subscriptions so you can just ship. Powered by WorkOS. 🚀
A coding agent can create a real Postgres database with no signup. You claim the project into your own account later.
@Chantastic and @neondatabase's @andrelandgraf walk through the full flow, including how agents discover it through 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡.𝐦𝐝.

Exponential growth doesn't feel exponential from the inside. From within the lab it feels like the same work every day. From the outside it looks like an explosion.
That was one throughline at Dwarkesh Unplugged, where @drfeifei and @dwarkesh_sp talked off the record, followed by a conversation with Dwarkesh and @grinich. The line that stuck with the room: one of the most influential researchers in AI is still, emphatically, team human.
WorkOS Demo Night returns for SF Tech Week: live demos from builders shipping at the frontier, October 5 at our SF HQ.
RSVP: luma.com/demo-night-oct2026
Agent Night lands in London for the first time. Live demos at the frontier of agentic AI, hosted at @incident_io's London HQ.

Rate limits and CAPTCHAs don't stop modern bots. Radar fingerprints 20+ device signals to block bots, credential stuffing, and fake signups in real time, built right into @authkit. Learn more: workos.com/radar
.@llama_index turns your most complex documents into AI-ready context, parsing messy tables, charts, and handwriting with human-level accuracy. Powered by WorkOS. 🚀
.@getchaiapp lets anyone chat with and build AI characters, powered by in-house conversational models and a community of millions of user-created bots. Powered by WorkOS. 🚀
WorkOS Relay attaches the user's provider credential server-side and streams the response back, so the provider's access token never lands in your app, your logs, or your agent's context. Read more: workos.com/docs/pipes/relay
.@GeneralistAI is building general-purpose robots you can trust to work, powered by foundation models trained on real-world physical experience.

Autonomous coding agents aren't real teammates until they know the history of your codebase. @mastra's fix: when an agent trips up, it files a "knowledge gap" issue, then self-heals on the next loop. @abhiaiyer demoed it live at Agent Night.
Building an Open Source Software Factory with Mastra | Agent Night
Learn how software factories use observational memory to build advanced software systems. See how this primitive improves development. Recorded live at Agent Night by WorkOS in San Francisco.
AlphaGo reached superhuman Go by fanning out a swarm of agents and keeping only the winners. @bdougieYO of @papercompute is running that same loop on Pokémon: ten agents in parallel, keep the top four, run again overnight. Shown at Agent Night.
Self-Healing Agents— Brian Douglas, paper compute co. | Agent Night
Learn how self-healing agents can improve your development workflow. See how BDougie uses a coding harness to run live demos efficiently. Recorded live at Agent Night by WorkOS in San Francisco.
.@juicebox_work is the all-in-one AI recruiting platform: search 800M+ profiles, surface insights, and run outreach with agents that work 24/7, all in one place. Powered by WorkOS. 🚀
"The first payroll company that gives me an API is the one I'll switch to."
@davidcrawshaw from @exedev at Agent Night: edit any open-source tool in plain English; a nightly agent rebases your edits each update. Closed software can't be touched. That's a new competitive gap.
How Agents Are Replacing Configuration — David Crawshaw | Agent Night
Stop using rigid tools. Learn why personalized software is becoming the new standard for building products that actually scale. Recorded at Agent Night by WorkOS in San Francisco.
An agent tried to email the entire company. WorkOS Airlock held the send and asked a human in Slack first. Aaron Tainter demoed it live at Agent Night.
WorkOS Introduces Airlock: Intent-Based Access Control | Agent Night
WorkOS introduced Airlock: Intent-Based Access Control. Recorded at Agent Night by WorkOS in San Francisco.
90-95% of what you publish never reaches a model's training set. Labs filter for textbook-quality knowledge, so most docs and blog posts get thrown out, and GitHub becomes the shortcut in. @inazarova, from @evilmartians, showed how at Agent Night.
Make Developer Tools Discoverable — Irina Nazarova | Agent Night
Irina Nazarova from Evil Martians walks through a framework for making developer tools and open-source projects discoverable by AI agents. Recorded at Agent Night by WorkOS in San Francisco.
Least privilege breaks for agents. You can't scope permissions at compile time when you don't know what the agent will do. WorkOS Airlock evaluates access from the agent's intent, at runtime. @grinich's Agent Night keynote.
Airlock: Intent-Based Access Control for AI Agents | Agent Night
Bets from the panel by end of year:
- 40%-60% of actions performed by companies to be performed by agents
- A shift to local models
- Faster ships across the entire semiconductor stack. 100K tokens/second
Everyone’s building their software factory. @mastra is helping everyone achieve that with their new software factory - a rules engine that shows how work goes into different phases.
This is a fantastic demo of Airlock creating access rules from a description of the capabilities you want the agent to do.
Real policies. Driven by intent.
Enterprise agents need:
- A place where work can persist
- Shared memory, processes, and skills
- Safe access to company systems
- A way for people and agents to work together
Agents are doing so much more than writing code. They’re writing research, handling operational work, and more. Agents are no longer in single player mode.
