What they did
1Password launched "1Password for Agents", a platform built for one problem: letting an AI agent log in to things without giving it your passwords.
Result (as claimed)
Agents get access to accounts while the passwords stay in the vault.
Tools they used
Cost: Pricing depends on the tools you pick; check each official pricing page.
Set it up
Map the task
Write the trigger, the inputs, the decisions and the output. Note which steps need a human yes.
Connect the tools
Set up 1Password with the narrowest permissions that work. Use a test account or sandbox first.
Build the workflow
Create the steps in order. Add an approval step before anything sends, pays or deletes.
Run it on real but low-stakes data
Run a few times, read every output, and fix prompts or rules that misfire.
Schedule and monitor
Turn on the schedule or trigger, and add a daily summary or alert so you notice failures.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like). 2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure. 3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data. 4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.

Related use cases
Keep your agent's keys in a password manager so the model never sees them
Tony Simons' checklist for keeping Hermes Agent safe on your machine: approval modes, Docker as the security boundary, API keys stored in Bitwarden or 1Password, passwords that Hermes fills without the model ever seeing them, and allowlists.
Share only chosen logins with your agent through a dedicated password vault
To let his agent "just jump in and fix it", he keeps a 1Password vault called "Shared with Grok Bot" with only the logins he is fine with it using.
Run 22 Grok Bots without hitting rate limits by keeping knowledge outside them
His first of ten rules for running 22 Grok Bot agents: keep docs in a Git repo, Notion or Google Drive with a short index file, so each bot pulls only the single file it needs instead of carrying everything in context.
Stretch Grok Bot usage by handing bulk work to your Codex subscription
A cold-email operator had his chief-of-staff bot install the Codex CLI on its computer and sign in with ChatGPT, plus an API key for cheaper models. Grok Bot keeps the judgment calls (Calendly booking, CRM follow-ups) and offloads CSV classification, scrapers, spintax and transcript summaries.
