What blocks AI agents from running a business? Reddit crowdsources real pain points
Consistent-Point-174 · reddit · 2026-10-22
A Reddit thread crowdsources the operational blockers people hit when letting AI agents actually run a business and earn revenue. The poster is building payment infrastructure for agents and wants to know which repetitive interruptions are worth solving beyond payments. Listed pain points include provisioning usable Google accounts/business emails, getting access to Google Ads and Meta platforms, re-logging in daily as sessions expire, runs stuck waiting for email verification links/2FA/approvals, paying for tools and ad spend, connecting services without APIs, and resuming failed steps without redoing successful work. The author notes some actions should still require human approval, targeting the pure babysitting moments: re-authenticating, copying codes, reconnecting tools.
