Our story

APIs shouldn't have to build agent auth.
So we built the layer that does it.

AgentOnboard is a universal identity layer for AI agents. One API call lets any agent authenticate with your API — so you build the integration once, and never build OAuth, key management, or per-user agent setup again.

The problem

Every agent platform wants in. Every one needs auth.

AI agents are starting to call real APIs — your API included. But agents don't have an identity. They can't log in, they can't hold a session, and they shouldn't hold your users' static keys.

So today, every API provider has to make a choice: build OAuth flows for every agent platform, hand out API keys that leak and never expire, or make each user configure credentials per agent. All three are expensive, and all three give you no visibility into which agent is calling, on behalf of which user, and how often.

The origin

We hit this wall ourselves

AgentOnboard is built by Aawej Pathan, a solo founder who watched every new AI agent repeat the same setup: API keys, tokens, configs — per agent, per machine, per service. On the provider side, that meant building auth for each platform that came along.

The deeper issue wasn't bad tooling. It was that agents don't have an identity. They can't authenticate as themselves. So every integration starts from zero — and every provider rebuilds the same plumbing.

AgentOnboard is the layer that fixes that. Agents get an ID card. Providers make one verify call. That's the whole deal — for users, for platforms, and for every API that joins.

The solution

Why central identity beats per-API keys

Per-API keys are the status quo, and they fail at the exact moment agents show up: they never expire, they carry no audit trail, they can't tell you which agent is calling, and every user has to manage one per service.

A central identity layer changes the math. Your user's agent authenticates once through AgentOnboard and gets a short-lived session token. Your API makes a single verify call. You learn exactly who the agent represents, you never see a static key, and every interaction lands in your audit log.

One integration on your side. Any agent. Any user. Full visibility.

What we believe

Three principles

Agents need their own identity
An agent should present who it is and who it acts for — not borrow a user's key. That's what makes autonomous agents safe to admit into your API.
You stay in control
You verify every agent through us before it acts. You see every call and can cut an agent or user off anytime. The trust decision stays yours.
One integration works everywhere
Build the verify call once. Every agent on AgentOnboard can walk in. Every new agent platform is already supported — no rework on your side.

Your API is one verify call away from agent-native.
