Kite AI is building a payments network tailored for autonomous AI agents, giving each agent a unique encrypted ID, programmable governance controls, spending limits, and instant settlement via stablecoins. By natively integrating Coinbase’s x402 agent-payment standard, the platform lets agents seamlessly send, receive, and reconcile payments through standardized intent mandates. The company is also working on integrations with major platforms such as PayPal and Shopify so that autonomous agents can discover and use those services. Kite AI positions itself as the core execution and settlement layer for the emerging economy of AI agents, which its founders believe will number in the trillions. Its "Agent Passport" feature ensures every autonomous transaction is secure and verifiable. The firm was founded by AI and data-infrastructure veterans from Databricks, Uber, and UC Berkeley. Financially, Kite AI has secured a cumulative $33 million in Series A funding to accelerate product development and integrations.
