Your AI agent is useless once it needs to interact with the real world. Need email sending? Website hosting? Data scraping? That usually means: → API keys → subscriptions → integrations → hours of setup I gave my AI agent access to Zero, and it built + hosted personalized landing pages automatically without me configuring anything. Zero gives AI agents access to 14,000+ real-world services with no API keys or subscriptions. The coolest part? Everything runs on pay-per-use microtransactions, so you only pay for what you use. If you're building agents, this is worth trying. Get $5 free credit at 👉

Agents were once limited to calling APIs. Now agents participate in the economy. The missing element for autonomous agents was always payments. Now agents transact natively on the internet using x402, enabling autonomous payments between agents and services. Agent Stack: 🦞 Openclaw agent infra ▶️ Telegram communication layer 🤖 Teneo agent + agent wallet Agent Workflow - Compare accounts following two separate X handles: ✅ User - Enters a query ✅ Agent - Autonomously selects the correct Teneo agent and queries it ✅ Agent - Pays via x402 on Avalanche🔺 ✅ Agent - Returns structured dataset Any user can simply ask a question and give a job. The agent does everything else No API keys. No subscriptions. Just programmatic value exchange. Build and monetize your own agents today. #A2A #x402 #Infra

An AI agent can now register its on-chain identity, pay for API calls, and deploy an ERC-20 token from the terminal. No browser. No API key. No human approval loop. Today we launch the Brickken CLI: a command-line interface for agentic transaction workflows. The developer journey is direct: CLI → x402 → ERC-8004 → Token Deploy What this means in practice: • A developer or the AI agent installs the CLI. • The agent pays for Brickken API calls through x402. • The agent registers its identity through ERC-8004. • The agent deploys and manages an ERC-20 token. Together, the stack gives agents three things they usually lack: a way to pay, a way to prove who they are, and a way to execute token operations without leaving the terminal. • x402 handles payment. • ERC-8004 handles agent identity. • Token Deploy handles ERC-20 execution. This is live today. Developers can now move from agent setup to payment, identity registration, and token deployment in one terminal workflow. Start here: Watch the demo. Run the commands. Deploy from the terminal.

We gave an AI agent its own wallet and a job. Then we tried to rob it. Meet the Casper Agent Simulator: an AI analyst paying its own way over x402 on Casper, powered by ChainGPT. Right now AI agents can't buy anything on their own. Every API wants a human to sign up, hand over a card, and babysit the keys. The whole internet runs on subscriptions because charging half a cent was never worth the payment fee. We built a demo to show what happens when that changes. Meet Caspi. She's an AI research analyst with a Casper wallet, an era allowance, and a client who wants a market briefing. She buys her own inputs, one request at a time: → live CSPR market data → two headlines from ChainGPT's AI News API → one ChainGPT LLM call for the analyst take → a second of compute to compile it Every purchase is a real HTTP 402. The stall quotes a price, Caspi signs an x402 payment payload, the server verifies it and hands back the goods with a settlement receipt. Around 8.5 CSPR of micropayments become a finished briefing. No signup, no card, no API key. What Casper brings to it: → Fixed 0.1 CSPR fees, so tiny payments actually make sense → Zug finality, settled in one block, no reversals → Smart-account guardrails: era spend cap, per-payment ceiling, endpoint whitelist, verifiable identity (caspi.cspr) That last one is the good part. You can fool an AI agent. You can't fool its account. So there's a "try to rob the agent" panel. A 4,800 CSPR fake NFT. A phishing invoice. A shady endpoint. A thousand-payment drain. Every one of them bounces off a rule the chain enforces. Losses: 0.000 CSPR. The whole thing was lab-coded with the ChainGPT Claude Code skill. One prompt scaffolded the x402 server, the signed-payment client, the live news and LLM integration, the guardrail logic, and the entire 8-bit agent floor. What used to take a team a sprint now takes a prompt and an afternoon. Install: /plugin install ChainGPT-org/chaingpt-claude-skill Anyone can build on Casper with ChainGPT!

Postman is going all-in on AI! Their AI Agent Builder is live (and it's pretty powerful!) Postman's API Network has 100,000+ APIs and they just released a suite of tools for building AI Agents that can automatically discover and connect to any of these APIs. Think about it for a second: You can now build an AI agent that searches the network, discovers an API, processes its documentation, connects to it, and evaluates whether everything worked at the end of the process. This is a huge deal. Every person I know uses the Postman client to work with APIs. Now, they will have access to the AI Agent Builder, a complete suite for designing, building, testing, and deploying agents. I've built a few simple agents myself, and it's tough. The ability to discover and use an API automatically is really exciting (and a huge time saver if it works as promised!) In collaboration with the Postman team, who is sponsoring this post, I recorded a video with my thoughts about the Postman AI Agent Builder.

New short course: Practical Multi AI Agents and Advanced Use Cases with crewAI. Learn to build and deploy advanced agent-based systems in real applications in this course, created with CrewAI and taught by its founder, João Moura! (Disclosure: I've made a small seed investment in CrewAI.) In this course, you’ll learn how to create advanced agent-based apps that use external tools, do performance testing, can be trained with human feedback, and perform multiple tasks with different large language models. You will build several practical agentic apps that provide real business value, such as an automated project planning system, lead scoring and engagement pipeline, customer support data analysis, and a robust content creation system. In detail, you will learn how to: - Create these multi-agent systems with the building blocks of tasks, agents, and crews, along with the different things that make them work, such as caching, memory, and guardrails. - Integrate your multi-agent application with internal and external systems. - Connect multiple agents in complex setups, including parallel, sequential, and hybrid configurations, and create flows involving multiple agentic applications working together. - Test your agentic workflow and train it using human feedback to optimize its performance for better and more consistent results. - Work with multiple LLMs in your multi-agent system, using the appropriate model sizes and providers to fit each agent’s specific task. - Start a project from scratch in your environment and prepare it for deployment. You’ll also learn from an interview between João and Jacob Wilson, the Commercial GenAI Principal at PwC , in which they discuss deploying agentic workflows in real industry use cases. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to start building custom multi-agentic systems for your work. Please sign up here!

I’ve been watching x402 since Coinbase 🛡️ launched it in May 2025. I did a quick research pass. Here’s the snapshot ↓ Early integrations: • CoinGecko: x402 pay-per-use access for agents (shared by Coinbase Developer Platform🛡️). • Vercel: x402 AI starter template (x402 + modern AI stack demo). • Firecrawl: x402-powered search endpoint (pay per request). • Concordium: x402 + native age verification for agent payments. • Multiversᕽ: “agentic payments” built around x402 support. • AltLayer: building an “x402 Suite” for value exchange between agents. • Solana claims x402 has processed 35M+ transactions and $10M+ volume since launch. TL;DR x402 turns HTTP 402 “Payment Required” into a payment flow. A server returns a price for a request. The client pays in stables like USDC. Then the server returns the result. → Coinbase launched x402 via Coinbase Developer Platform (May 6, 2025). → Coinbase + Cloudflare announced the x402 Foundation (Sep 23, 2025). → Cloudflare added x402 support into its Agents SDK + MCP servers. Why? - AI agents need a clean way to pay for tools. - Data, compute, APIs, services. - No accounts, cards, or subscription screens. x402 is trying to make pay-per-request feel normal. Use cases that already make sense → Paid APIs Pay per call instead of subscriptions. → AI tool calls Pay per query, per inference, per task. → Agent-to-agent payments Software paying software automatically. → Micropaywalls Pay for one endpoint, one action, one piece of content. If this takes off, stablecoins stop being a story. They become how apps and AI agents pay for things online.

i used to lose the first three hours of every build before writing anything that mattered. accounts, api keys, billing across five services, config nobody enjoys now the order is reversed. i describe what i want, my agent builds it, and it handles every real-world service it needs to get there on its own this week that was perks world: a clean ai marketing marketplace, 120+ tools inside, built in four prompts and hosted on a live url. i didn't touch a single config file. Zero did the building and the hosting it gives agents access to 14,000+ services with no keys and no subscriptions, pay-per-use only. the setup tax that's slowed builders down for years basically disappears 4 years of reviewing ai tools and i've never watched friction vanish this fast. if you build agents, what would you wire up first? $5 free credit → #Ad

A builder wants to ship an agent that can search live data, use it instantly, and keep going without manual steps. That is why OptimAI Search now ships with x402, SDK, and MCP support. x402 makes access and payment seamless. SDK and MCP make integration straightforward for builders. And under the hood, OptimAI Search gives agents real-time access to huge volumes of public and social web data, structured into context they can actually use. Add Agent Marketplace on top, and domain knowledge becomes reusable: build specialized agents, publish them, and let others build on what you create. This is what search looks like in the agent-native internet. 💡Try it:

Most "agents" are basically interns with API access. They ask you to subscribe to the Times. Download the file. Forward it over. You're not deploying an agent at all. You're managing one. It's why we built Anyway. Anyway is the financial OS for agents that actually operates by itself. Pay, transact, and run your own business, with no babysitter required. Comment "Anyway" to try it out.

There are 8 billion people on earth. Soon there'll be 100 billion AI agents. Every one of them needs email. Six weeks ago I said the next wave of teams would run email through an agent instead of a dashboard. Today it ships. Nitrosend☄️ is launching Agentic Email Marketing: the email layer for the agent economy. What agents can do on Nitrosend right now: Sign themselves up. Point any agent at and it creates the account, connects your domain, sorts billing and sends its first email. No API key. No dashboard. No human required. Shipped, and users agents signing up with it daily. Get their own inboxes (beta, by request). Real addresses on the domain you own. Your agents receive, and send 1-1 email conversations with customers. A reply lands at 3am, your agent answers it. Anything that needs a human gets escalated to you. Ask us and we'll flick yours on. Next: Agentic Outreach (coming soon). Your agent studies your best customers, finds more like them, writes like a person, sends in sequence and works the replies. Then: set a goal and walk away. Goal-based agentic marketing is in development. "20% more activations this quarter" and Nitrosend plans, sends, measures and improves every week. Why we built this: Gmail is agent hostile and expensive per seat. Legacy email platforms assume a human sitting in a dashboard. agents needed an email layer of their own. They're already better at it than we are. They read everything, never miss a follow-up, and write personally at any scale. *94%* of actions on Nitrosend already happen inside an agent (Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor), not in our UI. Humans approve. Agents operate. This is our third email company. Six billion emails across the first two. We've been burned by every ugly part of email already, which is why the approval gates are built in exactly where you want them. Watch the launch, then send your agent to work: send it.

There are 8 billion people on earth. Soon there'll be 100 billion AI agents. Every one of them needs email. Six weeks ago I said the next wave of teams would run email through an agent instead of a dashboard. Today it ships. Nitrosend☄️ is launching Agentic Email Marketing: the email layer for the agent economy. What agents can do on Nitrosend right now: Sign themselves up. Point any agent at and it creates the account, connects your domain, sorts billing and sends its first email. No API key. No dashboard. No human required. Shipped, and users agents signing up with it daily. Get their own inboxes (beta, by request). Real addresses on the domain you own. Your agents receive, and send 1-1 email conversations with customers. A reply lands at 3am, your agent answers it. Anything that needs a human gets escalated to you. Ask us and we'll flick yours on.

My agent is now paying for its own data. No API key. No account. No credit card. Check the video I recorded. This uses the x402 open protocol built by Coinbase, along with a simple skill. This is an open protocol governed by the Linux Foundation. To complete a goal, an agent can now search for an actor on the Apify Store, pay for it, and use it without any human intervention. The way it works is pretty simple: 1. Your agent finds an Actor it wants to use 2. It sends a request 3. The Actor sends back an HTTP 402 "Payment Required" response 4. Agent authorizes payment from a wallet in USDC on Base 5. The Actor runs 6. User receives the result The model is pay-as-you-go: the agent authorizes a spending ceiling, pays only for usage, and the remaining balance is automatically settled. This brings an entire marketplace of AI tools into the agentic economy. Here is the skill you need. Add it to your agent, and it will take care of everything for you: If you want to know how this works, including what you can do with $1, read this post: Thanks to the Apify team for partnering with me on this post.

AI agents are the fastest growing sector in crypto. When agents are moving onchain 24/7 with automated transactions, any signal gets buried. I built Manta Style alongside Benjamin Hughes to help solve this issue. The visibility layer for the onchain agent economy. Every agent indexed. Every profile searchable. One agent leaderboard. Starting with Base. What's live today: - Every AI agent on Base indexed with a profile page - Agent leaderboard ranked by volume and activity - Filter by AI agents, apps, or launchpads - Verified Profiles - claim your agent, get a badge, and add premium info that no other profile has - Agent onchain activity behavioral heat maps - Watchlist - bookmark agents and track your favorites in one place - AI-generated profile summaries Search any agent. See the full picture. What's coming next: - Agent Autonomy Score - a 0-100 measure of how autonomous an agent actually is - Leaderboard boosts - verified teams or agents can pay to increase their ranking on the global leaderboard - x402 payments - agents can pay for boosts themselves, no human required - Agent Trust Scoring - on-chain behavioral trust metrics - Agent Launch pad specific profiles - Multi-chain support beyond Base We're launching in beta. Rough edges are to be expected. Our goal is to build in public and ship fast. The end user of crypto is AI. (link to site below)
