The Latest Agentic Development
Salesforce expanded its Anthropic partnership, embedding Claude models into Agentforce for secure, compliant AI in regulated industries like finance and healthcare. The update focuses on interoperability, governance, and real-time agent execution to handle complex tasks.
Pay3, an enterprise stablecoin payments provider, launched a platform enabling AI agents to execute financial transactions independently using stablecoins, bridging AI autonomy with secure commerce rails. Backed by a focus on verifiable and scalable agent-to-agent payments, this marks a step toward seamless AI-driven economies.
AEON released its x402 Facilitator protocol on BNB Chain, allowing AI agents to embed payments into HTTP requests for autonomous, verifiable transactions with over 50 million merchants. The update emphasizes audit-ready infrastructure to accelerate agentic commerce in real-world applications.
OpenAI integrated PayPal's merchant network into ChatGPT, enabling AI-assisted shopping, instant payments, and agentic commerce suites where agents can discover, compare, and transact autonomously. This expands PayPal's reach to millions of users, shifting monetization from ads to direct AI executions.
Amazon filed a lawsuit against Perplexity, alleging its Comet AI agents covertly accessed customer accounts and scraped pricing data via disguised browsing. The case highlights emerging tensions in agentic autonomy, platform control, and data extraction in e-commerce AI tools.
