For the first time, individuals—not Big Tech—can control and profit from their own data at scale with one of the first commercially-available Agentic AI applications
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Permission, the platform that enables individuals to own and earn from their data, announced today the official launch of Permission Agent, live and available for download on Permission.ai. This innovative browser-based companion is the first personal agentic AI, designed to give individuals control of their digital footprint and transform everyday online activities into real earnings. Permission Agent also introduces one of the first opportunities for consumers to experience agentic AI, by autonomously taking control of the browser to execute multiple tasks on the user’s behalf.
For decades, tech giants have been profiting from extracting and selling user data without consent, flooding people with invasive ads while pocketing the revenue. Today, Permission Agent levels the playing field by acting as a personal “digital mini-me,” capturing only the information a user approves and turning it into tokenized rewards through Permission’s liquid, tradeable $ASK token.
“Big Tech has built trillion-dollar empires on user data without compensation, like drilling oil on private land without paying,” said Charlie Silver, CEO of Permission. “With the Permission Agent, we’re putting power back where it belongs—with individuals. Today’s launch underscores our laser focus on helping users to not only control their data, but to also profit from it at scale.”
How Permission Agent Works
- Personal AI that pays you: Users install the browser-based Permission Agent which identifies opportunities for the user to generate real-world value from their data, while also performing agentic AI tasks on behalf of the user. Much like a personal digital assistant, it makes life easier while monetizing data. Every approved data contribution earns ASK tokens, creating a simple, scalable way to profit from online activities.
- Transparency and trust: Unlike cookies and consent boxes that mask specifics of data resale, Permission Agent provides a clear, auditable trail of consent so users know exactly when and how their data is being used.
- Personal data as property: Every piece of data shared through Permission Agent is recorded immutably, proving ownership and ensuring that individuals, not tech platforms, benefit from the value it generates.
The launch of Permission Agent comes at a pivotal moment, as regulators tighten scrutiny on data practices and lawsuits mount against companies for unauthorized use of training data. Permission Agent offers a consumer-first solution that enables individuals to keep control, receive compensation and contribute to what Permission calls the “Gold Standard of Data”—human-verified, consented and auditable inputs that enterprises trust, regulators accept, and markets reward.
Permission Agent is live now and available for download here. Individuals can sign up to start earning ASK while taking back control of their digital identity.
