    TLDR

    Jeff Weinstein, product lead at Stripe, posted that AI agents coordinating real-world services remain limited by purchase friction. He described cases where agents cannot complete transactions directly, must fall back to slow browser exchanges, or encounter blocks. Weinstein stated that Stripe is launching a program to assist 20 participants right away. The post includes his background as co-founder of Wagon, acquired by Box, and former president of Hyperpublic, acquired by Groupon.

    @jeff_weinstein👋 It's extremely cool[0] to have your agent coordinate "real-world" services for you. But, it's still kinda a pain. You can't always purchase easily via agent, there's slow back and forth with the service via browser, and sometimes it gets blocked. So, we're kicking off a @stripe program to immediately help 20 of the world's best platforms and businesses that coordinate things in the real world start selling via agents asap (with verified consumer and agent identity, low fraud, easy compliance, and full control over how and where you sell). Specifically, we're interested in working with leaders in the following categories: - travel (planes, trains, rental cars) - ticketing (music, events, movies, sports) - food (delivery, grocery, reservations) - home (handyman, tasks, other local businesses) - other! Who's up for moving very, very quickly? You will get to work closely with the best, fastest-growing agents and top Stripe engineers. Reach out => jweinstein@stripe.com [0] I used an agent, while on the airplane, to research, schedule, and pay for a driver to pick me and my +1 up at the airport. I just blindly let it cook and paid via @link. When we got off the plane, there was a person holding up a “JEFF WEINSTEIN” sign.
    @sarthakghIf you are working on an IRL platform and want agents to buy from you on behalf of your users and prospects, ping Jeff! Super fast DM -> Slack shared channel -> high-touch development & iteration -> launch guaranteed
