Mira on Telegram: The Messenger-Native AI Agent Bet
The Open Platform has launched Mira, a messenger-native AI agent built into Telegram’s 1 billion monthly active user ecosystem. Unlike standalone AI tools, Mira operates inside group chats where decisions already happen, integrates with 900-plus services, and plans to support agent-to-agent interactions and bounded payment authorization. ECI Research examines the distribution advantage, competitive positioning, and enterprise implications.

Keycard Launches AI Agent Identity for Multi-Agent Apps
Keycard announced Keycard for Multi-Agent Apps, extending its platform to support delegated, session-based access control across autonomous agent systems. The product addresses a structural gap in enterprise AI governance: most multi-agent deployments still rely on shared API keys and persistent credentials that don’t limit access to what any given task requires. For ITDMs and developers building production agentic applications, purpose-built AI agent identity management is quickly moving from optional to essential infrastructure.
