# Users

Users are individuals, projects, DAOs or other organizational forms utilizing the network's AI models and services. Also, autonomous AI agents might act as users and procure services form the network. Depending on their level of sophistication and requirements, user may interact with the network through different means: 

* utilizing interfaces provided by CPs,  
* directly operate a Griffin AI node (Full- or Light-Node via API or local application) or  
* use enterprise-level solutions that bypass the need for an active node (by pre-obtaining a secret directly from SP).
