Yesterday at Stanford University, our product lead Ehsan (former PayPal AI lead) participated in an engaging roundtable discussion on Agentic Payments.

Joined by Erik Reppel from Coinbase (author of x402), Gagan Mac from Circle, and Cameron Dennis from NEAR Protocol, they delved into the key conditions required for autonomous agents to transfer funds at machine speed: standardized intent instructions, stablecoin micropayments, and the real infrastructure gap between smart agents and sovereign agents.

Kite AI is paving the way for this future, enabling agents to autonomously discover, negotiate, and settle, allowing the agent economy to truly take off.

Sincere thanks to host Steven Willinger and the Stanford Builders team for organizing this inspiring discussion. More exciting things are coming 🪁
