Our take
As the AI revolution continues, Anon is building an automated authentication layer that will enable AI agents to complete a wider range of tasks. Basically, it enables developers to build user-permissioned integrations for sites without APIs. This will allow AI agents to authenticate and take actions for users across the internet.
By employing Anon, developers can allow their AI applications to securely integrate with the most popular sites on the internet. As mentioned, this means they can take actions on behalf of end users on these sites, supporting enhanced digital interaction.
The company has raised promising funding that will help it expand operations and development efforts. It has already worked with AI companies such as MultiOn, Delphi and Personal.ai. - giving it a good start which we are excited to see it build upon.
