Let Anyone at Your Company Ship Internal Apps with AI — Garrett Galow, WorkOS

AI Engineer · Oct 08, 2026 · Engineering Insights

AI makes building internal apps easy, but deploying and sharing them securely remains hard

“making things has become cheap, right? But releasing it, making it available, even within the company, hasn't become much easier”

WorkOS product team member Garrett Galow describes a real-world bottleneck: non-engineers can now build AI-powered internal tools with products like Lovable and Claude Code, but authentication, deployment, and access control still require engineering intervention. The talk frames WorkOS as a solution to this 'last mile' problem for internal app distribution. This is a useful practitioner signal on where AI-assisted development friction has shifted — from creation to deployment/auth — but is more of a product pitch than a novel industry finding.
