About WorkOS
WorkOS ships three new surfaces in a week, pushing into front-end widgets and agent-run admin.
WorkOS is an enterprise identity and auth infrastructure provider, best known for AuthKit, SSO, directory sync, and audit logs. The changelog shows an unusually dense shipping burst: three distinct new product surfaces in a single week, the Widgets API, a Management MCP server, and an API Gateway, layered on top of steady AuthKit feature work like step-up authentication, waitlists, and an Astro integration.
