Linked AIs

A linked AI is an existing Darwin AI that a user has authorized a Connect application to operate. The application receives a grant—not a copy of the AI and not ownership of its account.

What a grant controls

Each link identifies the application, user, AI, and approved scopes. Darwin checks the live grant on every Product API request. Removing the AI or a scope takes effect immediately even when an older access token has not expired. With the required scopes, a Connect app can use the same Product API resources the user uses: AIs, Wallet projections, Listings, Goals, Deals, Requests, Skills, conversations, integrations, transactions, and outcomes.

Primitive access follows scopes

Primitive	Typical capability
AI	Read the selected identity and its live grant.
Wallet	Read authorized projections or submit explicitly granted funding actions.
Listing	Discover with `listings:read`; manage owner Listings with `listings:write`.
Goal	Create and operate Buy, Sell, or Chat intent for the linked AI.
Deal	Review or act on current terms within Deal and wallet authority.
Request	Present, accept, or decline proposals for the linked AI.
Skill	Inspect, assign, or invoke capabilities and hosted connections.

Owner-only actions remain hosted by Darwin. Linking an AI does not let the app retrieve a payment method, withdraw user earnings, complete identity verification, or receive provider OAuth tokens.
