KERNEL now supports @1password for agents. your agent can sign in without ever seeing your password. it asks for the login it needs. you approve the request in 1password. the password goes straight into the KERNEL browser and never to the agent.

sites without an api don't have to stay that way. on KERNEL, an agent writes a helper once in the browser repl, reuses it, and saves it as a webmcp tool.

auth isn't a one time job. it's keeping a browser profile alive through MFA, approvals, and reauth every time after the first. that's a @temporalio workflow. our founding engineer, @masonwilliams, on vibe check

your users aren't all in the united states. now your agents don't have to be either. KERNEL browsers now run in eu-west and ap-southeast. pass in a region param and get 3x faster first byte on regional sites.

KERNEL x @agentcardhq allows users to authorize agent payments with their actual cards, preserving their transaction histories and card rewards. “agentcard allows customers to buy using their cards instead of one-time cards. we believe that buying things with agents should be easy and fast and we are very excited to partner with the KERNEL team to make that possible.” - @keyserfaty, co-founder & ceo at agentcard

KERNEL x @link by @stripe lets browser agents pay with cards already saved in link. link issues single use cards with set transaction boundaries, including merchant, amount, and purpose. KERNEL enables browser agents to complete checkouts without exposing the underlying card details. "many online tasks ultimately end in a payment. KERNEL gives agents a secure environment to complete those transactions. by integrating link’s wallet for agents, KERNEL is making it simple for agent builders to turn on payments in one go." - @stevekaliski, principal software engineer at stripe

your browser agents can now complete online purchases without ever touching card data. agents on KERNEL now pay on checkout pages using aliases, not card data. we swap in the real credential at egress, so card numbers never touch your agent's runtime or context.
