Know Your Agent: Solving Identity for AI Agents [Live Event]

AI agents are getting smarter and soon they’ll be booking flights, submitting forms, and signing contracts on our behalf. But how can a payment provider, merchant, or financial institution verify that an AI agent is truly acting on behalf of a legitimate user?

And how can they know what the agent is actually authorized to do?

Vouched is introducing a new identity layer for AI agents: MCPI, the identity extensions to Anthropic’s MCP protocol. In this session, CEO Peter Horadan will walk us through how "Know Your Agent" works and what it means for the future of identity, delegation, and trust.
