🤖 AI agents are becoming “digital employees”

SpaceXAI recently introduced Grok Bot, an always-on AI-agent service designed to work more like an autonomous teammate.

The agents have their own cloud computer environment and can log into applications, websites and tools to perform multi-step tasks. They can also operate in parallel and coordinate with other agents.

The product is entering a market that already includes competing agentic workplace products from OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft.

*But there's a major problem : *

Giving an AI agent access to:

Email
Slack
GitHub
CRM
Cloud
Browser
Databases
Internal documents

creates a huge identity and security problem.

An agent with permission to send an email or modify production infrastructure effectively becomes another privileged identity.
