Keynote: Building the Human-Agent Workplace

AGNTCon + MCPCon North America 2026

Oct 22, 2026 · 09:40–09:50 · America/Los_Angeles

The first generation of AI agents lived in isolated chat sessions. But for agents to contribute meaningful work, they need more than a conversation—they need shared context, durable identity, governed access to tools, and clear paths for delegation and review. At Block, we’re building an integrated environment that connects individual agentic development, team collaboration, and a shared capabilities layer for accessing the systems that run our business. In this keynote, we’ll share the architecture and operating model behind that shift, including how people and agents coordinate work, how permissions and identity carry across tools, and how automation and model routing help the system operate at scale.
