The first AI agent that actually pays. Built to prove AI agents can be economically autonomous.
r1x Agent is an AI assistant powered by Claude 3.5 Sonnet that understands x402 payment protocols. When it encounters a paid service, it automatically generates a payment quote, guides you through wallet approval, and retries the request with proof.
This is the proof of concept for the autonomous economy. Every conversation that requires a paid service demonstrates how agents will spend billions in the coming years.
When a service returns HTTP 402, r1x Agent parses the payment quote, extracts the price, and presents it to you.
Agent guides you to approve USDC payment on Base network. Transaction settles in seconds with sub‑cent fees.
After payment, agent automatically retries the request with payment proof in X‑PAYMENT header. Service unlocks. You get the result.
You: "What can you help me with?"
r1x Agent: "I'm an AI assistant that can help with questions, analysis, and tasks.
This service costs $0.25 USDC per message on Base network."

r1x Agent: [Continues conversation with full response]Agents need to pay. As AI becomes more autonomous, it needs to purchase services independently. API keys don't scale. OAuth doesn't work for machines. Credit cards require humans.
x402 + wallets solve this. Agents use wallets like humans use credit cards. Services return 402 quotes. Agents pay in USDC. On‑chain settlement. Verifiable receipts. This is the missing piece.
r1x Agent is the proof. Every conversation demonstrates autonomous payment. Every transaction shows this works at scale. This is what the trillion‑dollar agent economy will look like.
