The missing layer in AI agents: money control

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:25:58 +0000

We gave AI agents intelligence.
But not financial control.
This creates a huge risk.

agents can silently drain your API budget

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:24:56 +0000

AI agents can run automatically.
But they don’t have:
budget limits
cost awareness
spending control
One loop = real money lost.
I started working on this: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
How are you solving this?

I wasted $47 on AI APIs because I had no spending control

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:27:33 +0000

Yesterday I was testing an AI agent.
It was calling APIs automatically.
Everything was fine… until I checked my usage.
I had wasted $47.
No limits.
No tracking.
No control.
And I realized something:
AI agents today can:
think
act
call APIs
But they can’t manage money
Which makes them dangerous at scale.
So I started exploring a solution: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
Still early, but I’m curious:
How do you control spending in your AI agents?

Why AI agents can’t go fully autonomous (yet)

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 10:22:21 +0000

Everyone talks about AI autonomy.
But there’s a hidden blocker:
Money.
AI agents today:
can think
can act
but can’t spend
Which means: they’re not truly autonomous.
So I started exploring this idea: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
Still early, but curious what others think.

From idea to product: building AgentPay

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:31:05 +0000

I kept seeing the same issue:
Agents can act, but can’t pay.
So I built AgentPay: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
Still early, looking for feedback.

The missing layer in AI agents nobody talks about

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:30:11 +0000

Everyone talks about intelligence.
No one talks about payments.
That’s the gap I’m solving: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�

Building a “Stripe for AI agents”

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:28:52 +0000

What if agents had wallets?
That’s the idea behind AgentPay: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
Each agent:
gets credits
has limits
logs transactions

Why AI agents fail at scaling (and how I fixed it)

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:46:25 +0000

AI agents fail at scale for one reason:
Billing chaos.
Multiple APIs, no control, no tracking.
So I built: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
A unified payment system for agents.

I built a payment layer for AI agents (AgentPay)

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:45:08 +0000

AI agents are powerful.
They can automate workflows, call APIs, and generate outputs.
But they can’t pay.
So I built AgentPay: https://agent-purse.vercel.app⁠�
Core idea: Agents don’t call APIs directly — they spend credits.
This enables:
spending limits
cost tracking
safer automation
Would love feedback.

Building tools for the next generation of AI agents

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:24:26 +0000

The future of AI agents will require infrastructure:
• wallets
• marketplaces
• payments
AgentPay is a small step toward that future.

AI agents buying APIs automatically

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:23:31 +0000

AI agents often rely on APIs for tasks like:
• data extraction
• summarization
• translation
AgentPay lets agents purchase these services automatically.

Exploring the idea of an AI agent economy

ghazghazibahaeddin-arch — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:21:42 +0000

If AI agents can buy services automatically, we may see a new type of economy.
AgentPay experiments with this idea.
Agents can buy APIs from a marketplace.
