HOW TO EMPOWER YOUR AI AGENT TO ACT...WITHOUT AN ACCESS TOKEN

An AI agent doesn't simply run your code. It runs your code, plus whatever it finds in a “relevant” GitHub issue, support ticket, or scraped web page. What happens when you hand your agent an access token and someone opens a GitHub issue asking it to leak your credentials? Relay [5] keeps the credential at WorkOS. Your agent names the user, WorkOS attaches that token, refreshes it, and releases it only to allowlisted hosts. 🤔 It's essentially the same credential proxying system [6] that's been in use in payments for years: you can't leak something you never held in the first place.

HOW TO FINGERPRINT AI AGENTS HITTING YOUR ENDPOINTS

ChatGPT summaries, Claude lookups, and Gemini answers all fan out into HTTP requests that hit your website. Block it all? You disappear from AI answers. Let it all through? Spoofed assistants can come in undetected. Fingerprint's AI ASSISTANT DETECTION gives you a VERIFIED VERDICT PER REQUEST, so you can: → LET VERIFIED ASSISTANTS THROUGH signup, checkout, and scraping-sensitive endpoints so your docs and content surface in AI answers. → BLOCK OR CHALLENGE a request pretending to be an AI Assistant (strong abuse signal.) → USE ALONGSIDE FINGERPRINT'S AI AGENT DETECTION to cover both HTTP and the browser. 🆓 Set up Fingerprint with a JS snippet [5]and start identifying your AI traffic for free.

THESE TWO LINES OF CODE ARE SAVING COMPANIES UP TO 70% ON AI SPEND

THE BIGGEST FALSE DICHOTOMY IN AI: a costly frontier model for everything, or a cheap model everywhere. (Only to restart tuning with each new model release.) Finest finds the model your work needs: 👉 FINEST API [5] serves a lower-cost configuration only when it clears your task's quality bar. Otherwise, the model you named serves. 👉 FINEST CODE [6] brings the same evidence-gated approach to Claude Code, with Claude as the default and fallback. All you do is change two lines of code. You keep your prompts, model IDs, tools, and workflow.

THE FUTURE OF OPEN SOURCE SEARCH AND OBSERVABILITY STARTS AT OPENSEARCHCON

Technical leaders from Intel, IBM, Uber and more will gather in San Jose this September to talk search, observability, and AI workloads, and to connect with peers solving the same problems. Get your ticket [4] for keynotes, hands-on sessions, and more: * Leave with real production patterns for your team, not just slides * Build a full OpenTelemetry observability stack or an agentic AI search app in two hands-on Developer Workshops * Network with peers tackling the same search and observability challenges
