Show HN: OAuth-style authorization for AI agents

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@variant96/pia-sdk
2•Pukuta•1h ago
What would you want to control about AI agents in your life?

Would you let an AI agent send emails on your behalf?

Most people say "no" - too risky.

But what if you could set rules like: • "Only send to people in my contacts" • "Never spend over $50" • "Only book meetings between 2-4pm" • "Block domains: competitor.com"

That's what I built.

Introducing PIA (Personal Identity Agent) - an authorization platform for AI agents.

It's like IAM for your life: - Define policies (what agents can/can't do) - Agents authenticate via OAuth flow - LLM verifies every action against your rules - Full audit trail

Built an SDK and 5 production agents to prove it: Email • Calendar • Contacts • Files • Tasks

All live. All production-ready. All at: digital-embodiments.vercel.app

The SDK is on NPM: npm install @variant96/pia-sdk

Tech: Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma, NextAuth, Groq/Gemini

This is my bet on how we'll safely delegate to AI agents.

Thoughts? What would make this more useful?
