Original Summary

I keep running into the same wall with AI agents. They can research, negotiate, and draft the deal. But the second real money needs to move to someone they've never met, the whole thing stalls. No identity you can verify, no safe way to hold the payment, no reputation that follows them, no one to call when it goes sideways. So a human steps in and hand approves it. I built Timbro to fix that. It's a trust layer for agent commerce: verifiable identity for agents, escrow-style holds so money only moves when the terms are met, portable reputation, and third party arbitration if there's a dispute. Timbro never touches the money itself. Honest status: we're pre launch. The payment rails are simulated, but the protocol runs are real, and here’s a 46 second demo of a full deal. Curious: are any of you building agents that need to pay for things? What stops you from just handing them a credit card?   submitted by   /u/KontraKap [link]   [comments]

中文概览

中文标题： 当你的AI代理需要向陌生人支付400美元时，自主性就结束了。你像1998年一样手动批准。

作者称AI代理能研究、谈判、起草交易，但一旦需向陌生人转真钱就卡住：身份无法验证、无安全托管、声誉不可携带、纠纷无人可找，只能人工审批。为此他创建Timbro——代理商务信任层：验证代理身份、托管式暂扣、可携带声誉和第三方仲裁，Timbro不碰资金。现状：未发布，支付通道为模拟，协议运行真实，有46秒交易演示。他询问是否有人构建需付款的代理，以及为何不直接给信用卡。
