Survey: Does your AI agent have an identity problem?

[Marsssssssssssdsss]

Hi everyone 👋

I'm reaching out to the AI agent community because I think we're all heading toward the same problem, and I'd love your input.

The question we're exploring:

Every SaaS platform has user accounts — for humans. But when your AI agent calls an API, it borrows a human's credentials. The AI itself has no identity.

If you're building AI agents that call external services (Shopify, Slack, Notion, GitHub, etc.) — how are you handling authentication across multiple platforms right now?

We've put together a short 3-minute survey to collect experiences from people who've hit this wall (or think they will). No sign-up, no product pitch — just honest questions to understand how the community is handling this:

I'd really appreciate if you could spare a few minutes to share your thoughts. I'll share the results openly once we have enough data.

Thank you! 🙏

This is a really interesting discussion. I think identity and authentication are definitely important, but once an AI agent gets access to an account, the next challenge is making sure it doesn't make costly mistakes.

I've been exploring an open-source project called FailproofAI, and one thing I like is that it focuses on catching common agent failures at runtime. Things like getting stuck in loops, repeatedly making the same failing call, exposing sensitive information, or attempting risky actions can be detected and handled before they become bigger problems.

If anyone's curious, the docs explain the idea pretty well: "docs.befailproof.ai" (https://reference-url-citation.invalid/0).

I feel like combining solid authentication with safeguards like these is probably the direction many production AI systems will end up taking.
