What does an AI agent's bank account actually look like?
Opportunity
Agents can act on their own now, but handing one money is still terrifying. There is no standard way to give an agent a spending limit, a clean audit trail, and a kill switch that a human and a regulator both trust. We bolt agents onto cards and wallets that were built for people.
Why it matters
Autonomous software will move real money soon, and the accountability layer for it does not exist yet.
How I score the opportunity
The Opportunity Score is my own read, not a measurement: how much it hurts, how often it bites, and how little exists to solve it today. Higher means I think it is more worth building.
How much pain it causes when it shows up.
How often people actually run into it.
How little good tooling exists for it today.
