Descope says its Envoy service will let consumer apps accept personal AI agents through delegated sign-ins, with separate agent identities, permissions and approval flows. The service is based on the draft Personal Agent Protocol and is designed to work alongside existing identity systems.

Envoy gives agents identities distinct from customers and lets businesses define what they can do; sensitive actions can require customer approval.
The service supports the draft Personal Agent Protocol, published by Meta and Sierra in October, and can run alongside a company’s current identity system.
GoFundMe and GoodRx are among the partners working with Descope on Envoy; Descope also released a Poppy software development kit for agent builders.
