pay.sh
Launching today
In collaboration with Google Cloud, we're building the open source real-time payment infrastructure for AI agents so they can discover and pay per call for any API.

Pay-per-request, no API keys, agent-native — this is one of those primitives that quietly unlocks a category of products that just couldn't ship before. The thing I'm most curious about is the failure mode: what happens when an agent gets into a feedback loop and burns through 10,000 micro-payments in a minute? I run a small AI alerts product around prediction markets called PolyMind, and the autonomous-decisions-on-noisy-signals problem is brutal even at fixed cost per call. With pay-per-request you've added a real money knob to the loop. Are you exposing budget caps / circuit breakers at the agent level, or leaving that to the agent runtime? Cool launch either way — congrats.

Thanks @samir_asadov !
At the moment, we're at a stage where agents clearly need supervision when they want to spend.
Currently, every spending attempt is prompting an OS system authorization - (using TouchID on macOS - so Apple Pay like experience).
The next step is "here is 1$, it's valid for 1 hour, whatever is left after automatically returns to me".
We'll progressively give more knobs to play with to users / developers / agents.
@ludovic any public roadmap btw?
This just made my day!
@samir_asadov you might want to check out agentwonderland.com. Has built in controls for api/agent providers and handles refunds automatically.
Love this direction - One command line to let your agents pay for any API. No accounts. No keys. No subscriptions needed.
S/O to makers @ludovic @vibhu and the @Solana Foundation for this amazing contribution to the ecosystem.

Thanks @fmerian! Hey everyone, I'm Ludo, maker of pay.sh 👋
In collaboration with Google Cloud, we're building the open source real-time payment infrastructure for AI agents so they can discover and pay per call for any API.
We are replacing sign-up pages, API tokens and subscription management with a new intuitive tech stack designed for agents to pay for services and goods.
It will be a long journey, and today we're super excited to ship the following:
Agent Gateway for Google Cloud: a hosted proxy that allows agents to access major APIs including Gemini, Maps, BigQuery public datasets, and twelve others APIs.
pay: a command-line tool for consuming this new generation of API endpoints. If you're running some APIs, pay can also be deployed as a proxy. Local first, MIT Licensed.
pay-skills: a catalog of high quality APIs, community-driven. Think `brew` for OpenAPI specs that can charge agents (PAY.md). MIT Licensed, PRs welcomed. Curated and monitored.
pay.sh is built on top of strong standards (x402, MPP) involving players such as Cloudflare, Stripe, Solana Foundation, Coinbase and many others who understand this direction is inevitable.
To give it a try: brew install pay. Let us know what APIs you want added to pay.sh, or any kind of feedback.
I'll stay on top of your comments!

@fmerian @ludovic hreat work!
@ludovic @nirbhikjangid yes! what are you most excited about with this new product?
TDL
@ludovic @fmerian this can & will boost agentic commerce!
framing this!
@ludovic humbled by this new collaboration with you! @Axel, @Surfpool, now pay.sh... keep up the great work!
Git commit spotify
@heyayushh @ludovic is a 🐐 - opinionated, with a taste for great dx
The agent native angle is what stands out most .Feels like this isn't just a dev tool but infrastructure for autonomous systems.
exactly! to quote @nirbhikjangid: "this can & will boost agentic commerce!" - source
Very cool, is it based on the x402 protocol / whitepaper ?
@maxencecornet exactly - Pay.sh is built on x402 and MPP. Your data remains yours, and your billing frictionless. Payments are handled automatically under the hood, settled in stablecoins on Solana, and paid to providers in fiat. The product is also fully open source. Explore the code, contribute, or build your own integration on GitHub.
can't wait to integrate this into my crypto tax api!
looking forward to it! make sure to star the repo
