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.)
