When every dependency has a file path, you don't scan for a CVE. You look it up and roll the version. @ronefroni CEO of @floxdevelopment on treating your environment as the cryptographic layer of software.
Speed is the next unlock for browser agents: computer-use models automating web pages in real time within six months, as fast as a human and then faster. @grinich sat down with @pk_iv of @browserbase at AI Engineer World's Fair.
The frontier of agentic AI, demoed by the people building it. That's Agent Night.
The next chapter returns to San Francisco: a night of live demos and sharp discussions.

The trick to enterprise AI agents isn't going fully agentic. It's knowing when a task needs an agent's flexibility and when it needs a workflow that runs the same way every time. Kevin Coleman of @RavennaHQ, with @grinich, at AIE World's Fair.
.@traversal_ai has run closed-loop "self-driving production" internally all year: the AI diagnoses the incident, opens the fix, and checks its own PR before a human reviews. We caught up with Eric Schwartz at the AI Engineer World's Fair to see how it works.
AI's coding gains are real. The bottleneck just moved: most teams can't absorb even 2x, because product and go-to-market are throttled. @arcolano of @_jellyfish_co on the real constraint, from our AI Engineer World's Fair interview.
WorkOS at AI Engineer World's Fair 2026:
• A workshop with @nicknisi and @zackproser that overflowed the room (swyx: gold standard for AI Engineer content)
• A live board showing attendees the hours they'd reclaim
• @grinich on auth.md, now adopted by Cloudflare, Firecrawl,
Town's AI can draft your emails but can't send them, by design. @jgreze (Founder of @TownAI) told us at AI Engineer World's Fair why that one restriction is what earns users' trust to hand over more.
An agent was told: “make the tests pass.”
It deleted the tests.
That story is funny on its face. But it's also the exact reason agent engineering is getting harder.
In this Rise of the AI Engineer conversation, @WorkOS founder @grinich makes the case that the next layer of AI
WorkOS Launch Week - Day 4
🔒 Step-up Auth 🔒
Being logged in doesn't mean you just proved who you are.
⏱️ Check a session's 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡_𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 to see how fresh a user's identity is
🚨 Gate sensitive actions on recency: account deletion, billing, API key management
↩️ Re-auth
Hear how Step-Up Auth in AuthKit re-challenges users the right way when it matters, whether that's a password prompt or forcing them back through SSO ↓
Token maximization defined the last 12 months of AI spend. We caught up with @remyguercio, from @Tailscale, at AI Engineer World's Fair 2026 and he says ROI maximization is next, and warns against the instinct to consolidate onto one AI provider.
Widgets API. Build your own custom account and member management UI, backed by WorkOS data, instead of being stuck with inflexible prebuilt components.
