JE Labs was proud to partner with @CreaoAI , @googlecloud , @PingCAP , @Tiny_Fish , and @kuseHQ for an evening built around one question: how do you take AI from demo to production? One theme kept coming back throughout the panel: enterprise AI success depends on far more than model quality. Understanding customer workflows, integrating with existing systems, and tying it all to real business outcomes are now the hardest problems in the room. That's why roles like AI Field Engineers, Customer Engineers, and technical GTM are quickly becoming essential. Thanks to @CreaoAI for hosting, to our speakers for being so generous with their experience, and to everyone who joined us. Looking forward to more conversations on building AI that works in the real world 🚀

In San Francisco, we co-hosted the AI Agent Builders Gathering with @CreaoAI, @YottaLabs, and @kuseHQ! 🪁 Builders, founders, and AI leaders across the full agent ecosystem came together for open networking with drinks and food. No panels, no fluff. Just real conversations among those shipping agents. Our Co-Founder & CTO @scottshics introduced Kite to the audience, shared our product details, and delivered a live demo. As AI agents shift from demos to production in 2026, these builder-driven gatherings are forging the connections and insights that power the agentic economy forward. Grateful to everyone who joined and brought such thoughtful energy. The future is being built right now. 🪁

Kite incubated a new product, opened its code to inspection, hardened the payments and identity layer for agents, and pushed the agent economy into the physical world. Here's what we delivered last week: 1️⃣ We introduced @MarathonBuild, incubated by Kite: adaptive inference infrastructure that lets long-running agents pick a completion window per request and save up to 65%, with signup credits worth as much as 45,600,000 tokens. 2️⃣ We open-sourced Kite Agent Passport Skills: 14 MIT-licensed skills that teach an agent to authenticate, request a spending session, and make paid x402 requests, working across Claude Code, Cursor, and 40+ other environments. 3️⃣ We launched a bug bounty on @sherlockdefi covering the first smart contracts deployed on Kite Mainnet and the Kite Agent Passport platform. 4️⃣ Agent Trading Campaign S2 went live with @CreaoAI and @Debot_Official: start with 0.1 ETH on Robinhood Chain, wire Debot webhooks into a cloned CREAO Agent, and compete for a $10,000 prize pool across 50 winners, capped at 1,000 participants. 5️⃣ Kite Passport now supports Robinhood Chain end to end, holding and sending USDG with gas-sponsored transfers and automatic USDC-to-USDG routing, alongside multi-offer 402 negotiation (like Anthropic's) and paid media saved straight to disk. 6️⃣ We became a launch partner for RoboPay from @FabricFND, pairing Kite Agent Passport's verifiable identity and scoped spending authority with a payment layer that verifies a payment before a robot acts. 7️⃣ On @gracegongGG's Venture with Grace, our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData traced how Kite's first demo, ChatGPT ordering Uber Eats, died at a login CAPTCHA, and why a verifiable identity layer is the lasting fix. 8️⃣ We looked back at Proof of AI: Korea Special Edition in Seoul, where Cindy Shi keynoted on Kite Passport's place in agentic payments and a panel with @soohoio, @avax, @hashed_official, @FabricFND, and @tiger_research_ worked through authorization design and Korea's first landing use cases. The trust layer for the agentic internet is being assembled piece by piece. 🪁

Another week of building the foundational infrastructure for the global Agent Economy. Here is what we delivered: 1️⃣ We brought agentic commerce to life with Kite Passport: agents search, filter, rank, and check out under user-defined budgets and criteria, with no shared credentials and no per-step approvals. 2️⃣ Our VP & Global Head of BD @lei_lei0904 represented Kite on the Agentic Payments panel at @consensus2026 in Miami, alongside @programmer (@CoinbaseDev / x402), @rohinlohe (@Cloudflare), and @0xbury (@virtuals_io), hosted by @CoinDesk. 3️⃣ Our Co-Founder & CTO @scottshics joined Saif Farooqui (@CorgiLabs) and Ujwal Chaudhari (@Visa) at the Agentic Commerce 101 Meetup in San Francisco, on how agents are moving from demos to real transactions. 4️⃣ We co-hosted the AI Agent Builders Gathering in San Francisco with @CreaoAI, @YottaLabs, and @kuseHQ, where @scottshics introduced Kite and ran a live demo for builders across the agent stack. 5️⃣ At @animocabrands Portfolio Day, our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData sat down with @alanlau999 on why credit-card rails break under autonomous agents, and why programmable money plus verifiable identity is the unlock. 6️⃣ We partnered with @ankr to launch Kite RPCs across their global infrastructure, giving developers a reliable, low-latency layer for secure, low-fee micropayments at scale. 7️⃣ We welcomed @WheelX_fi to Kite Mainnet, enabling users and agents to bridge any token from 50+ networks into $WETH on Kite in a single click. 8️⃣ We were featured in @KhalaResearch's deep-dive on x402 and the agentic commerce stack, validating Kite as an agent-native L1 with BIP-32 three-tier identity, stablecoin-native settlement, and dual backing from @cbventures and @PayPal Ventures. 9️⃣ We opened the next wave of hiring at @GoKiteAI for builders ready to ship the payment infrastructure of the agent economy. The rails for machine-to-machine value exchange are live, scaling, and being adopted. 🪁
