yes i agree this is somewhat of a "for now" solution. but the point is that people are already creating agents that need independent digital identities, so this should help them do it a little easier.
then we hope to work on the next iteration of what agent identity actually looks like
i think people out of school underestimate the power of exams. there's a huge difference in classes recently between ones with and without exams. if there is an exam, people are way more likely to study and therefore actually learn
We made it because everything out there that gives agents a phone number are just abstractions of Twilio, and only give out VoIP numbers. But these types of numbers don't really let agents be useful on the web, since VoIP numbers get blocked for most use cases like 2FA codes, form inputs, and callbacks.
That's why we think an API that let's an agent use a real carrier-backed number would be helpful. We really want feedback tho, so feel free to try the free tier on op.inc or op.inc/skills.md
