Today WorkOS is launching auth.md

An open protocol for agents to register for services on the web.

We're partnering with @Cloudflare and @Firecrawl as some of the first providers.

Why did we build this? And why now? 🧵

[Scott Horsfall @scoh]

We're a small team doing all of this work.

If you want to design for a platform like this — agents, production, parametric tools, the whole thing — we have a product design role open: https://t.co/NnQ5oF91Su

Wrote about how we're using AI on the design team at @WorkOS

Three things we dig into in the post: building tools that help us explore a wider set of directions, designing directly in production, and what it means to design for agents as a new kind of user.

[Michael Grinich @grinich]

At WorkOS, AI lets designers prototype in production, explore permission graphs parametrically, close real UI nits in code, and design for the next user of software: agents.

Designers used to ship screens. Now they ship systems. https://t.co/OMODI50YoW

[Scott Horsfall @scoh]

Two things that matter to us as AI tools continue to evolve: letting designers explore every tool and find what works for them, and knowing when to pull back and be intentional about decisions and craft.
