What you'll learn

What Stripe, Ramp, AmEx, and Tempo are building for agents

Startups and payments giants are racing to give AI agents wallets, cards, and transaction rails. We'll break it down.

Virtual cards vs. agent-to-agent payments

Two paradigms are emerging for how agents spend money. We'll cover implementation patterns, risk models, + the future.

The supporting infra making autonomous agents real

Agents need more than a card – they need email (AgentMail), identity, and policy layers. We'll map the full stack.

Why this topic matters

AI agents are evolving from "tools that draft things" to autonomous actors that transact, procure, and negotiate on your behalf. But this only works if the payments, identity, and guardrail infrastructure exists. Stripe, Ramp, AmEx, and a wave of startups are building it right now. If you're a PM, engineer, or leader building products in this era, understanding this layer is crucial.
