These agentic AI examples in Python show the difference between systems that can reason and make decisions autonomously, and traditional more deterministic programming paradigms.

Not long ago, we worked hard to keep bots off our websites. Today, we’re optimizing for them, especially LLMs like GPT and Claude. Here's how companies are opening up their content, while still fighting abuse where it counts.

SMS-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) is still common, but it's fundamentally insecure. This article explains why developers should avoid SMS MFA and adopt stronger, phishing-resistant alternatives like TOTP and WebAuthn.

We built an MCP server template with Vercel's MCP adapter and secured by WorkOS AuthKit that you can use to rapidly deploy secured MCP servers globally.
