Vertical AI is having its moment, and the productivity gains are real. Agents are handling research, decisions, outreach, and operations that used to require entire teams.
But underneath all of that capability sits a constraint that breaks every autonomous workflow eventually. Money.
The moment an agent needs to pay for something, it stops cold. No card. No wallet. No mechanism to settle it. The autonomy runs out exactly where it matters most.
I spent months hitting this wall while building.
So I built the fix.
Argens is payment infrastructure for autonomous AI agents. One API key gives your agent a USDC wallet on Stellar, spending rules you set once, and access to 86 APIs it can pay for per request. No subscriptions. No separate accounts. No humans in the loop.
Agents can even pay cross-chain. Stellar to Base, same API call. It's live. Three products are already running on it. Check it out at

If you're building agents that need to pay for things, this is for you.
