- Reusable verified user data: reusable, interoperable, and regulatory compliant KYC/AML credentials that reduce friction, speed up onboarding, and keep data secure and private.
- Automate transactional tasks with AI agents: enable AI agents to conduct “last mile” transactions (e.g., booking a hotel) without sharing sensitive data with the agents.
- Delegate access to human helpers: temporary and restricted access to a person’s private data or credentials may still be necessary for human helpers, such as personal assistants, family members, or professionals, to complete certain tasks.
