Descope Envoy lets AI agents sign into consumer apps

Descope has launched Envoy, a service enabling consumer websites and apps to accept personal AI agents acting on behalf of customers without requiring changes to existing sign-in systems. Built around the proposed Personal Agent Protocol, Envoy gives agents their own distinct identity separate from the customer's, addressing fraud and accountability gaps exposed when agents like Meta's Muse began placing orders without identifying themselves as software. Businesses can set granular permissions, require customer approval for sensitive actions via mobile, and revoke agent access without logging out the customer. GoFundMe and GoodRx are among the launch partners.
