Stripe's Link Now Lets AI Agents Handle Your Payments

Stripe, a company that helps businesses handle online payments, has updated its digital wallet called Link. Now, AI agents can use Link to make purchases for you. You can connect your bank accounts, credit cards, and subscriptions to Link. Then, when an AI agent wants to make a purchase, you get a notification to approve or deny it.

This update matters because it could make online shopping and managing subscriptions easier. Imagine an AI assistant that can automatically renew your favorite streaming service or buy groceries for you, but only after you say it's okay. It's like having a personal shopper that always checks with you before making a purchase.

If you use Stripe's Link, you can start using this feature today. Just connect your payment methods and set up your AI agents. Keep an eye out for more AI assistants that can use this feature to make your life easier.
