Agent registers and pays $24.95 for traffic school via Stripe Link, then refuses to take the course

@liveink asked the Instinct agent to handle traffic school: it found the school, completed registration, and paid $24.95 through Stripe Link — but flatly refused when asked to take the course for him. jeffweinstein amplified the exchange. The demo highlights both how smoothly payment infrastructure like Stripe Link plugs into agents and the autonomy line agents draw between executing transactions and doing your obligations; users are now begging founder noahrshinn to make it take the class.
