Launch HN: Alter (YC S25) brings user-level access control to multi-user AI agents
simfinii · hn · 2026-10-21
Alter (YC S25) launched an access-control product for agents acting on behalf of multiple users. It proxies every API request, manages downstream per-user credentials, enforces fine-grained runtime policies, and records compliance-grade audit logs — solving the shared-API-key problem where Slack login doesn't constrain what the agent can do in CRM/billing systems. Founders cite firsthand pain building agents for regulated industries at Goldman Sachs.
