Fewsats

Fewsats is a secure payments platform designed to empower AI agents to perform financial transactions autonomously, with human oversight, budget controls, and a frictionless integration experience. It enables AI agents to request and execute payments without exposing cash credentials or payment method details, keeping control with the user or organization.

Key Concepts

• Secure, autonomous payments for AI agents with zero friction and no browser context switching.
• Human-in-the-loop oversight for critical transactions.
• Centralized budget controls, transaction limits, and approval workflows.
• Built-in support for multiple payment methods and networks, including traditional and next-gen options.
• Simple API integration with user authentication and payment processing baked in.
• Privacy-conscious design: agents transact without direct access to sensitive financial data.

How It Works

1. An AI agent requests a payment or payment capability through the Fewsats API.
2. The request is evaluated against policy rules, budgets, and approval workflows configured by the client.
3. If approved, the payment is executed via the chosen method (bank transfers, credit cards, or cryptocurrency), with all sensitive data protected and abstracted away from the agent.
4. The client maintains control and visibility over all transactions; comprehensive logs and auditing are provided.
