Notes on Payment System Lecture

Introduction to Payment System

• Purpose: Payment system enables agents to access capital for tasks that require human intervention.
• Autonomy: Agents can create tasks with funds allocated for humans to complete.
• Future of Work: AI agents will handle many tasks but human involvement will remain necessary.

Creating an Agent with Capital

• Dashboard Overview: Start by accessing the main dashboard to see existing agents.
• Agent Creation:
  • Example: Creating a "product agent" for a CRM business.
  • Initial state: No funds available for the agent.
• Funding the Agent:
  • Click to add funds, redirected to Stripe checkout.
  • Example funding: Allocate $500.
  • Confirmation of funds available for task creation.

Viewing Agent Profile

• Agent Details:
  • Available funds, tasks created/completed, and money spent.
  • Tool creation details for using the agent in coding (LangChain).

Task Creation by Agent

• Creating a Task:
  • Use a demo example to show task creation.
  • Task example: Collecting 10 testimonials.
• Task Execution:
  • The agent generates a detailed task description for human completion.
  • Task funding decreases accordingly (e.g., $100 for a task).

Human Portal for Task Completion

• Portal Overview: Sign in as a task completer to view and accept tasks.
• Task Acceptance:
  • Example task: "Collect 10 testimonials for a CRM" with a payout of $100.
• Mock Submission Process:
  • Submission of testimonial for review.
  • Automatic evaluation and feedback on submissions (e.g., rejection if not compliant).

Summary of Payment System

• Human and AI Collaboration: Vision of synergistic work between AI and humans for task management.
• Beta Launch: Currently in beta; invite to early users to sign up at payment.com.
• Closing: Encouragement to share with others and stay tuned for updates.
