An agent can plan and sequence a multi-step task and stall at a signup form.
@orthogonal_sh replaces account creation, API keys, and billing with one integration.
@chrisspickett and
@berasogut1 (Orthogonal) join Stateful, hosted by
@masonnystrom.
In this episode, they discuss the infrastructure needed for the agent economy:
- One API to access dozens of verified providers
- Agents discover, call, and pay per use in cents — no accounts, no keys, no subscriptions
- Micropayments that actually work with automatic spend tracking and human-set policies
- Supporting all major agentic payment standards (X402, MPP, etc.)
