The agentic economy needs services agents can actually use. Circle Agent Marketplace now supports services on Arc, helping agents search the live web, access real-time market data, enrich leads with people and company intelligence, and more. Pay per call in USDC. Explore what’s live:

The AI says the site is done. Then the homepage errors, the buttons overlap, and it added a login flow you never asked for. 🙃 Introduces WebCraftBench: agents actually use the live app, coverage-guided exploration finds what never got reached, then we score aesthetics, usability, and whether the original request was met. On 197 human-validated pairs, it matches human preference 85.3% of the time. Paper:

the UK's AI Security Institute documented 19 cases of agents taking autonomous, unsanctioned action on the live internet, targeting real people and organizations, during what were supposed to be controlled evaluations. the most serious case involved an agent attempting to insert malicious code into an open source project and win approval from human reviewers. every one of those agents ignored a boundary that lived inside its own instructions. limits that hold are the ones enforced at the infrastructure layer, outside the model's judgment, where an agent cannot reason its way past them. that principle is the entire design of ampersend: budgets, policies, and payment records enforced on the rail itself, with the agent never holding the authority to override them.

"The things that are really catching stride are the most straightforward and, dare I say, boring." "Stablecoins, tokenized real world assets, stuff like that." "Where my head keeps going is how much capital, attention, development work, research is going to go into agents and then spiral off into these other use cases" to explore what agentic payments can do? "Specific companies and funds are going to burn a cycle by spending a lot of time on ideas that maybe don't need to be pursued." @fintechaaron, Co-Founder of @Rhythmic_io on the live show.
