Amazon and Visa are collaborating to develop tools that enable software developers to create AI-driven shopping experiences. These tools aim to allow AI agents to make purchases autonomously, although specific launch dates are not yet provided. Other partners in this initiative include Expedia Group and Intuit.

Visa has launched the Trusted Agent Protocol to facilitate secure AI-driven transactions for users and merchants, addressing the challenges of agent-driven commerce. Developed in collaboration with Cloudfare, the protocol aims to distinguish trusted AI agents from malicious entities, enhancing trust in AI-initiated payments. Visa is collaborating with various partners to ensure seamless and secure transactions in the evolving landscape of AI commerce.

Cloudflare has joined forces with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express to establish payment frameworks for AI agents that autonomously conduct transactions. This collaboration aims to secure the burgeoning “agentic commerce” economy, enabling AI systems to make purchases on behalf of users using programmable money like stablecoins.
