@stevekaliski and I challenged our Claude Code to pay for and plan my birthday party, all paid for via MPP on Stripe

And...it just worked hands-free

Demo time! 🤖💸🎉

Here's @stevekaliski, @BackseatVC, and their agent (with a wallet) throwing together an actual birthday party.

To accomplish this fun task, the agent autonomously researches, requests, and pays multiple businesses on Stripe via MPP.

Note: No hands on keyboard

It's pretty magical when your agent...just works

@instinct just partnered with @OpenTable, so it can now book and manage your restaurant reservations

No blocks, not TOS issues, and @link deals with the card holds, deposits, and other payment flows

Agents are continuously crawling and browsing the web, and now you can monetize that traffic with the @awscloud Web Application Firewall (WAF) with @stripe

This means that if you want an agent to pay upfront before accessing your content, the AWS WAF will return an HTTP 402 response indicating that a payment is required (aka machine payments)

Once the agent pays, they're now able to access that content, and all of those payments land in your Stripe account seamlessly

Had a lot of fun talking about agentic commerce with @LubaYudasina at the @thelinqapp Hello World conference!

Cool to hear from people building agents and agent infrastructure IRL! Thanks for having me!

The Claude Duet launch is interesting because it's branded as a "proactive agent," which theoretically is relevant to both consumers and businesses

But the skills that it has (like access to the @stripe MCP to understand your business, issue refunds) and the demo videos show specifically business use cases

With @link, we tried having Duet find and source candy from a supplier (as if we were a one person candy company), and it worked!

Curious if small business owners are going to adopt this, so they don't have to deal with the manual tasks that they don't want to do

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.

It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.
