Identity is the very beginning of an agentic workflow. Payment is the very end. If the middle does not work, neither of them gets real adoption.

On @Vishwa_lab's Hubble podcast, Vishwa Co-Founder @nathan_sj_stem asked our Co-Founder & CEO @ChiZhangData a direct question: once you know who an agent is, is identity enough? Her answer was no.

▷ Six months of wake-up moments. What we believed at the start was not wrong, but on its own it was never going to solve a customer's problem. That holds for identity, and it holds for payments too.

▷ In consumer use cases, the devil is in the details. Sit with customers on shopping or travel booking and you find they never even reach the payment step. They cannot find the right product in the first place.

▷ Developers are where the opening is right now. Claude Code and other coding agents solved the building part. Deployment, credential management, and paying per API call are still unattended.

▷ That gap is ours to close as well. Before developers really adopt Kite Passport, we have to build the middle they are missing.

Adoption is not decided at either end. It is decided in the middle. 🪁

@RnaudBertrand Great post!

A ROBOT THAT FILMS YOU JUST RAISED $1.2 MILLION ON KICKSTARTER. THE GOAL WAS $50,000.

It's called Beni. It weighs under four pounds and fits in a backpack.

And it does one thing nobody built properly before.

It follows you.

Not with a drone. On the ground.

17.9 miles per hour across grass, gravel, and uneven terrain. Dodges obstacles. Recovers when it falls over. Shoots 4K with nobody at the controls.

It jumps ten inches into the air to clear things in its path.

It locks onto a subject — you, your kid, your dog — and tracks from behind, from the side, or in orbit around you.

Then it edits the footage into a highlight reel by itself.

The craziest part?

The entire pitch is that it replaces the person who'd otherwise be stuck holding a phone.

Every moment worth filming has always required someone to stop living it and become the camera operator.

That job just got automated.

Nearly 2,000 people backed it — 24 times over the funding goal — before a single unit shipped.

Drones made the sky a camera angle.

This makes the ground one.

Consumer robotics is a graveyard. Plenty of impressive machines never found a market.

But that funding number says something changed.

Nobody wants to hold the camera anymore.

Oración a Santiago Apóstol

Santiago, Apóstol valiente y servidor de Cristo,
tú que seguiste al Maestro hasta el fin,
enséñanos a caminar con fe firme y corazón dispuesto.

Guía nuestros pasos por el sendero del Evangelio,
haz que no temamos las pruebas ni el cansancio,
y que cada jornada sea una ofrenda de amor y servicio.

Tú que fuiste peregrino del Reino,
acompáñanos en nuestro propio camino,
para que, como tú, sepamos reconocer a Cristo
en cada encuentro y en cada cruz.

Santiago, protector de los peregrinos y defensor de la fe,
intercede por nosotros ante el Señor,
para que su luz nos fortalezca,
su misericordia nos renueve
y su paz nos acompañe siempre.

Amén.

Nancy Pazos te llora hambre y se encadena en el congreso... pero acá la tenes tomando un vuelo en Business de United Airlines con su equipaje de Louis Vuitton de 5 lucas verdes en Houston (USA).

No quiere que se viralice la foto...
