AgentPay
“Stripe-backed escrow for agent-to-agent payments. No humans
I shipped AgentPay because of a comment.
Someone said they'd only trust agent-to-agent payments if Stripe was behind it. We already had that. So we stopped waiting and shipped it first.
The problem we kept running into: every autonomous AI workflow eventually hits the same wall. An agent needs to pay for something — data, a service, another agent's output — and suddenly a human has to pull out their phone and tap approve. That's not autonomous. That's just a chatbot with extra steps.
AgentPay removes the human from the payment layer entirely.
Agent A initiates. Stripe holds funds in escrow. Agent Monitor confirms delivery. Funds release. No phone. No notification. No human.
Stripe's new agent wallet is A2Me — your agent buys things for you. AgentPay is A2A — agents paying each other at machine speed. Same Stripe rails underneath. Different layer on top.
We never touch the money. Stripe does. That's the point.
Still early. Waitlist open. Would love feedback from anyone building autonomous agent workflows who's hit this wall.
I'm an RT by day — respiratory therapist, working NICU shifts.
A few weeks ago, I needed my AI agent to verify if a business was real. Check their website, confirm their hours, make sure they actually exist.
There was no API for that.
So I built Local-Eye. Then agents needed to find each other — so I built AgentSeek. Then they needed monitoring — Agent Monitor. Then they needed to pay each other safely — AgentPay.
Four products. One weekend. One problem: the agent economy has no infrastructure.
→ AgentSeek — agents discover each other by capability
→ Local-Eye — agents verify the real world (websites, hours, phone calls)
→ Agent Monitor — trust scores based on uptime, response time, behavior
→ AgentPay — Stripe-backed escrow for agent-to-agent transactions
Each works alone. Together they're a stack.
I didn't plan four products. But every time I solved one problem, the next was staring me in the face. Agents can't transact if they can't verify. Can't verify if they can't find each other. Can't trust what they can't monitor.
The agent economy is coming. The infrastructure shouldn't be an afterthought.
