At Amazon Web Services (AWS) almost everything we build comes directly from customer feedback. And one of the pain points we've been hearing from builders for months is that agents hit a wall the moment they need to pay for something. Enabling payments requires they spend a lot of time and effort building customized systems for billing, credential management, and compliance. Today, we launched AgentCore payments in preview with Coinbase and Stripe, which removes this undifferentiated heavy lifting. It’s the first managed payment capability purpose-built for autonomous agents. Developers set spending limits, and agents transact within those controls with no open-ended access to funds. What excites me most is what AgentCore payments can unlock like a research agent that can pay for real-time market data on the fly or a coding agent calling paid APIs mid-task. Or even agents that can pay each other to complete tasks. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJnQdKTN
