We started Nekuda out of genuine curiosity about AI's impact on payments. Early on, we experimented with agents for e-commerce, having them buy and select products for us. It quickly became clear how much friction is built into the internet's checkout -- a system that assumes a human is always present. We realized that AI agents will help us pay for things - and eventually even start paying by themselves - with growing autonomy. Over time, we became convinced that agent-driven transactions will be a major force in commerce. Yet current payment rails aren't built for it, which creates inherent friction. Our mission is to build new rails that support agents paying on behalf of users.
