Restock inventory based on demand
Handle try-before-you-buy flows
Help customers shop through chat
Or basically anything where AI + money + commerce meet

Try out Payman SDKs
Build creative, functional AI-powered commerce tools
Show what agents can actually do when given real payment access (USDC/USD)
Judging Criteria
Creativity & Innovation – 20%
Relevance to Commerce Use Cases – 30%
Technical Build Quality – 25%
UX & Integration – 15%
Clarity of Documentation – 10%
Use Case Prompts
Trading Agent
Automatically reallocates funds across wallets based on risk profile — no API keys or commingling.
Finance Bot
Pays recurring vendor invoices via ACH with programmable limits and per-transaction approvals.
VC Ops Agent
Disburses capital to portfolio wallets as milestones are hit — with full audit trail and spend caps.
Yield Allocator
Moves excess team funds into a high-yield USDC account weekly — automated, transparent, and logged.
Budget Manager Agent
Manages sub-wallets for each department with monthly spend limits and category-based controls.
Game Economy Agent
Manages in-game wallets for players, distributes tournament rewards, and enforces cooldowns or caps — without central custody.
Wildcard Agent Toolkit
Build agents that fund bounties, run payroll, trigger invoice payments, refund failed tasks, split profits with contributors — all using the same Payman wallet SDK.
