AI agent payment infrastructure

Build a payment API specifically for autonomous AI agents. For developers creating self-operating bots.

Why now

As AI agents perform more real-world tasks, they need dedicated financial rails.

Who for
AI agent developers
Business model
Transaction fees
Effort
A few weeks

AI tools currently rely on human payment approvals, creating friction. A Stripe-like API for agents would enable microtransactions with built-in spending limits and audit trails.

Charge a small percentage per transaction. First version could handle simple API calls to existing processors.

Major risk is low adoption if agent ecosystem grows slowly.
