Agent Identity & Permissions Platform

An identity and access management system for AI agents — defining who an agent is, what it can do, and proving it to third-party services.

01 THE IDEA

When an AI agent acts on behalf of a user or company, third-party services need to verify: who authorized this agent, what permissions it holds, and whether it can be trusted to perform a specific action. Today's OAuth and identity infrastructure is built for humans logging in, not for agent-to-agent or agent-to-service authentication at scale.

The opportunity is building the IAM (Identity and Access Management) layer purpose-built for agents. This includes agent credential issuance, delegated permission scopes, trust hierarchies (human principal > business agent > sub-agent), revocation APIs, and audit logs of what each agent did under what authorization. Think Auth0 or Okta but designed from the ground up for the agentic web — where the 'user' is a software process acting autonomously.

03 THE VERDICT

Identity is one of the most critical and defensible infrastructure layers in any tech stack — the agent web is no exception. There's no clear winner yet, the problem is real and urgent, and enterprises will pay significant premiums for auditable agent permissions. Requires strong technical and security chops but the moat is enormous if you get there first.
