Clerk handles auth in AI app builds

Clerk is less the headline feature than the enabling layer that makes fast AI-built apps feel deployable instead of demo-only.

• –The Convex integration gives developers a clear pattern for connecting Clerk-issued auth to backend data access and protected queries
• –Clerk bundles higher-level auth features like MFA, social sign-in, bot detection, and org management that would otherwise slow down an MVP
• –In AI-assisted build workflows, outsourced auth matters because generated apps usually break down first on identity, session handling, and access control
• –This is most useful as a stack component story, not a product launch: Clerk is the production-grade piece in a broader rapid-build toolchain
