Teaching agents to pay — Anna Spysz, Stripe
Stripe engineer demos autonomous shopping agent as agentic commerce infrastructure matures
“the infrastructure for agentic transactions has been laid down by companies like Google, OpenAI, and Stripe”
Anna Spysz from Stripe demonstrates a working agent-to-commerce system that autonomously researches and purchases products, framing it as a practical application of newly mature agentic transaction infrastructure. She highlights that agents discover and evaluate products through structured data and technical signals rather than human-style browsing, requiring merchants to adapt. The talk signals that the payment rails for AI-driven commerce are now in place, with Stripe, Google, and OpenAI as the key infrastructure layers.
