AI agent integration and authentication infrastructure
Composio
Composio builds infrastructure that lets AI assistants and developer-built agents act across business applications. Composio Platform provides SDKs, authentication and tool execution for integrations with more than 1,500 apps, including Gmail, GitHub, Slack and Salesforce. Composio for You connects existing assistants to those applications, letting users draft email replies, create issues and work with business data. Its developer platform handles integration plumbing while supporting different models and agent frameworks.
Founded in 2023 by Soham Ganatra and Karan Vaidya, Composio grew from the founders’ work on coding agents and the difficulty of connecting them to applications. Vaidya is its cofounder and CTO. The platform’s sessions bind each task to a user, connected accounts, authentication and execution state. Agents discover relevant tools at runtime rather than loading hundreds of definitions into their context; a session-scoped sandbox handles large responses and preserves intermediate files and results.
In 2025, investor Lightspeed described Composio as engaging more than 100,000 developers. For organizational workflows, Shared Connections lets teammates use an authorized company account without circulating credentials; existing private connections remain private. Its developer-platform implementation is experimental. Composio also supports self-hosting in a customer’s cloud account and region, giving organizations a deployment choice alongside its US-hosted cloud service.
Explore the recordings
This guide covers the one recording in the supplied Composio catalog. It offers two paths through the same talk: understanding the infrastructure gap between coding and knowledge-work agents, and examining controls for real-world actions. The descriptions reflect claims made in the recording; they do not establish Composio’s current capabilities or product status.
Start with the infrastructure gap
Watch From coding to Knowledge work agents for Karan Vaidya’s argument that coding agents benefit from infrastructure software engineering already provides: repositories, history, tests, review, access boundaries, and ways to revert changes. He frames knowledge-work infrastructure around six primitives—centralization, history, context, verification, governance, and reversibility. This path is useful for identifying what an agent needs around its model and tools, particularly when work spans multiple applications. His discussion of action logs and reusable organizational skills describes a proposed approach, rather than verified present-day product functionality.
Follow the controls before consequential actions
Return to the same recording for the verification, governance, and reversibility discussion. Vaidya recounts an unsuccessful OpenClaw hiring-outreach campaign to illustrate how technically valid execution can still be inappropriate. He proposes style checks, reviewable tool sandboxes, deterministic access boundaries, and policies outside the agent. For actions that may be permanent, he proposes simulation and approval before execution. This path is useful when considering agents that send messages, transfer funds, or delete data; the examples and recommendations are recorded claims, not evidence that these controls are currently implemented by Composio.
