"Hey PH! I built Boltwork because I wanted AI agents to be able to pay for services autonomously — no credit cards, no API key management, just sats flowing automatically in the background. The L402 protocol makes this possible: your agent hits an endpoint, gets back a Lightning invoice, pays it (< 1 second), retries the request, gets the result. It's genuinely magic when it works. Two free trial tools work with zero setup — give it a go and let me know what you think."
