Last week at init(), I shared the next chapter of WorkOS.
We’re building infrastructure for a world where humans and agents work together, and anyone can build software.
Three new products with live demos:
1) Airlock
• Give agents access without giving them unlimited access.
• Define your policies in natural language. Let agents work within them, block what’s off-limits, and escalate decisions that need a human.
• No more choosing between approving every action and "dangerously skip permissions." 🤖
2) Atlas
• Turn any idea into a secure internal app with your favorite coding agent.
• Auth, permissions, data connectors, databases, AI gateway, and deployment built in.
• A secure home for everything your team builds. 🌐
3) Passport
• Single-sign on is super annoying, so we fixed it.
• With WorkOS Passport, you're automatically signed in to all your apps.
• Zero sign-on. Just open your Mac and get to work.
We believe companies in this next era won’t simply use AI. They’ll be redesigned around intelligence. And the world will need new infrastructure to power this revolution.
That’s the future we’re building for. Full keynote below:

Thank you to our speakers, to @stripe, @databricks, and @Cloudflare for sponsoring, and thank you to the 600+ builders who came out to init().

Your next user is an agent.
It found your API. Signed up. It acts for someone else.
Whose permissions does it have?
Isabelle Williams of @WorkOS tackles agent identity and revocation at AI Engineer New York, Oct 13.
WorkOS is a Platinum sponsor.

ALT AI Engineer New York Trading Card with a blue border and purple WorkOS accents. Headline, "Your next user is an agent." The question asks what it can access and how to revoke it. Isabelle Williams, Product Manager at WorkOS, presents "Your Next User Is an Agent," a breakout on October 13, 2026. Her official portrait appears beside the unchanged WorkOS logo, labeled Platinum sponsor. An illustration shows an agent acting for a user, then moving from active to revoked access. Event dates are October 12 to 14 at the Sheraton New York Times Square. Tickets: ai.engineer/nyc.

all the best founders i know are on workos.
i deeply deeply regret using clerk. good for projects where agents are not your users, but if agents/enterprises are your primary users, go straight to workos I BEG YOU.
better-auth is not a bad option either, but over time I have become more WorkOS pilled

Agent Night lands in London for the first time. Live demos at the frontier of agentic AI, hosted at @incident_io's London HQ.

Most agents authenticate in one of two (bad) ways:
1️⃣ Long-lived API keys
2️⃣ Borrowed user sessions
Neither gives the agent its own identity.
Introducing Agent Auth for AuthKit: first-class identities with short-lived, scoped, revocable credentials.
