Its flows, and where AI agents are in them
We have not mapped Descope's flows yet: how work moves through its product, from a request to a result, and at which steps an AI agent acts. We map them only from public pages (its own site and documentation, its talks), each step with its source, and never guess. If you are at Descope, the quickest way to get this right is to tell us how it works.
Our question for them
As for every company we follow, three questions, not claims. We have not asked Descope yet. When they answer, it goes here.
- Reach What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach?
- Mandate What were they authorised to do?
- Gap Who controls the gap between the two?

- Why this page exists. We keep a page on every company we follow at the summit, built only from public pages, so that anyone, Descope included, can see what we know and where it comes from. Nothing on it is an endorsement.
