Maya Kaczorowski noticed that AI identity and AI agent identity concerns were emerging from outside the security industry, rather than from CISOs and security leaders. She concluded that OAuth, the open standard for authentication, already serves the purpose of granting access without exposing passwords.

Kaczorowski, a respected technologist and founder of Oblique, a startup focused on self-serve access controls, recently wrote about OAuth and AI agents and shared her insights on this episode of The New Stack Makers. She noted that developers see AI agents as extensions of themselves, granting them limited access to data and capabilities—precisely what OAuth is designed to handle.

The challenges with AI agent identity are vast, involving different approaches to authentication, such as those explored by companies like AuthZed. While existing authorization models like RBAC or ABAC may still apply, the real challenge lies in scale. The exponential growth of AI-related entities—from users to LLMs—could mean even small organizations manage hundreds of thousands of agents. Future solutions must accommodate this massive scale efficiently.

Why AI Agents Need a New Kind of Browser 48:56

לפני 10 ימים48:56

48:56

Traditional headless browsers weren’t built for AI agents, often breaking when web elements shift even slightly. Paul Klein IV, founder of Browserbase and its open-source tool Stagehand, is tackling this by creating a browser infrastructure designed specifically for AI control. On The New Stack Agents podcast, Klein explained that Stagehand enables AI agents to interpret vague, natural-language instructions and still function reliably—even when web pages change. This flexibility contrasts with brittle legacy tools built for deterministic testing. Instead of writing 100 scripts for 100 websites, one AI-powered script can now handle thousands. Klein’s broader vision is a world where AI can fully operate the web on behalf of users—automating tasks like filing taxes without human input. He acknowledges the technical challenges, from running browsers on servers to handling edge cases like time zones and emojis. The episode also touches on Klein’s concerns with AWS, which he says held a “partnership” meeting that felt more like corporate espionage. Still, Klein remains confident in Browserbase’s community-driven edge.

How Shortwave Wants To Reinvent Email With AI 36:17

לפני 25 ימים36:17

36:17

In this episode of The New Stack Agents , Andrew Lee, co-founder of Shortwave and Firebase, discusses the evolution of his Gmail-centric email client into an AI-first platform. Initially launched in 2020 with traditional improvements like better threading and search, Shortwave pivoted to agentic AI after the rise of large language models (LLMs). Early features like summarization and translation garnered hype but lacked deep utility. However, as models improved in 2023—especially Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 3.5—Shortwave leaned heavily into tool-calling agents that could execute complex, multi-step tasks autonomously. Lee notes Anthropic’s lead in this area, especially in chaining tools intelligently, unlike earlier models from OpenAI. Still, challenges remain with managing large numbers of tools without breaking model reasoning. Looking ahead, Lee envisions AI that can take proactive actions—like responding to emails—and dynamically generate interfaces tailored to tasks in real-time. This shift could fundamentally reshape how productivity apps work, with Shortwave aiming to be at the forefront of that transformation.
