Agentic payments are now live on
@Pulse__AI .
An agent can point at our API with no account, no API key, and no signup, and pay for extraction on its own, one call at a time.
It runs on the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), settling inline over HTTP in USDC, in the same request that asks for the work. The agent sends an extraction request, Pulse answers 402 Payment Required with the priced terms, the agent pays and retries with proof, and the result comes back. Two round trips, no invoice to reconcile.
The 402 has sat reserved since the early days of HTTP, waiting for a caller that could pay on its own. It’s live on Pulse today, more here:
