How does an AI agent actually make a payment?

[cryptoenthusiast]

The process typically starts with a user setting rules—like a budget or approved services. The AI agent then finds a service, receives a payment request, checks if it fits within the rules, and sends funds through a crypto wallet if everything matches.

Protocols like x402 make this seamless by allowing servers to request payment directly. The agent can respond instantly, complete the transaction on-chain, and unlock access to the service—all in seconds without human intervention.
