How do you let your AI agents spend money? Dev surveys real-world payment controls
Twirledd · reddit · 2026-10-19
A developer running autonomous agents hit a wall when one needed a small purchasing budget: the only options were handing over a card or handling every payment manually.
He's collecting real experiences on Reddit: has your agent spent (or nearly spent) money, or stalled because it couldn't pay? What do you use to control it — provider spending caps, a separate card, an approval step, or something custom? Where does that setup fall short?
He discloses he's exploring whether a tool in this space is worth building — no product, nothing to promote.
