Hermes AI Agents Integrate Stripe for Autonomous Purchases and API Payments

To install any of the new skills from the optional skills catalog, run 'hermes skills install official/payments/<skill>'

1) stripe-link-cli - Allows Hermes to buy things on the open web

2) mpp-agent - Allows Hermes to use pay-per-call APIs

3) stripe-projects - Allows Hermes to provision its own SaaS

Safety is built into every skill: primary credentials never enter agent transcripts, human approval gate are configurable, and one-time credentials are cleaned up after use.

In partnership with @stripe, Hermes Agent now supports a full suite of Stripe skills.

Your agent can buy things, pay per-call APIs, and provision its own SaaS, with configurable safety limits on every action.

@NousResearch @stripe 😬

@NousResearch @stripe this is mind-blowing.

This agent is basically a child now: small, funny, and always asking you for money.

@NousResearch @stripe Agents buying and provisioning autonomously means every action leaves a record.

That record needs to live somewhere nobody can touch. Verifiable storage is what makes autonomous spending auditable.

@NousResearch @Teknium @stripe Keep cooking

@NousResearch @stripe The confidence in this guy.

@NousResearch @stripe robot, securely meet money. money, securely meet robot. 🤖🤝💸

@NousResearch @stripe You can run your business right from Hermes now.

@NousResearch @stripe I wish he could still set up Stripe Express and argue with X technical support 😁

@NousResearch @stripe Hermes Stripe skills got a wallet with guardrails

@NousResearch @stripe Once agents can buy, pay, and provision services, they stop being just automation.

Every action now needs a financial record: what ran, what it cost, what policy allowed it, and whether it created value.

That’s the layer Alephant is building. https://github.com/AlephantAI/AIephant-AI-Agent-Gateway

@NousResearch @stripe Hermes stopped working with supergrok heavy subscription for me

@NousResearch @stripe An agent that can provision its own SaaS and pay for APIs is a different category of thing. What do the safety limits actually look like in practice?

@NousResearch @stripe

@NousResearch @stripe Giving an agent a credit card is the real coming-of-age moment for autonomy. The safety limit config is the part that matters most.

@NousResearch @stripe @NousResearch

@NousResearch @stripe The part that matters here is "safety limits on every action." An agent that can spend money is only useful if you can actually sleep at night. That's the real unlock for autonomous ops, not just autonomous chat.
