Solving the “AI Agent Trust Problem”
I’m excited to share the Personal Identity Agent (PIA) platform and SDK.
The Problem
AI agents are becoming increasingly powerful, but we still lack a safe, scalable way to delegate real-world tasks to them. Today, you’re forced into one of two bad options:
- Give agents full access — high risk
- Manually approve every action — no real automation
Neither approach scales.
The Solution
An authorization layer for AI agents — think OAuth, but for your digital life.
PIA sits between users and agents, enforcing identity, permissions, and policy before any action is taken.
How It Works
- Users define policies:
- Permissions
- Spending limits
- Risk tolerance
- Domain restrictions
- Agents authenticate using an OAuth-style flow
- Before every action, agents call the verification API
- An LLM evaluates the request against the user’s policy
- Every decision is recorded in a full audit log
Developer SDK
To make adoption easy, I built a lightweight SDK that developers can drop directly into their agents.
Once integrated, the SDK handles the entire authorization layer — giving both you and your users fine-grained control without added complexity.
SDK Features
- OAuth-style authorization flow
- Secure token management
- Action verification against user-defined policies
- Full TypeScript support
- Zero runtime dependencies (5.9 KB)
