So excited to launch @stripe Projects: Let your agent autonomously build and deploy an app end-to-end.

Check it out at https://t.co/P61nOHVJLH

[Stripe Developers @StripeDev]

We shipped Stripe Projects recently and developer advocate Ben Smith set out to see what it was like to actually build with it.

The shift "I have accounts with tools" ➡️ "I have a project that can assemble itself."

A small change until coding agents become the primary builders. Modular, headless infra means the agent just plugs in what it needs.

See Ben’s full breakdown on the blog: https://t.co/ddgTCWN95O

[Rami Banna @mrramibanna]

getting few DMs on how/if this works: yup, one ‘import’ command *literally* creates new accounts or links to all the providers in the stack, provisions them in batch, and returns the full set of keys & env vars you need.

@anaclumos @stripe We are working on it! Any other feedback?

[Alexander T @agrafix]

We lifted the waitlist for https://t.co/qS3zaV5Sdw yesterday!

Stripe's @collision says Stripe Projects gives agents the ability to buy what they need to orchestrate your vibecoding projects end-to-end:

"You guys have probably had the experience of when you're vibecoding away, you are the adult that needs to reach for things on the high shelves for [your agent]."

"It's much better at writing code than you, it's able to architect an application for you. So what do you need to do? You need to go sign up for an API key."

"[With Stripe Projects], you are able to agentically do stuff in the wider world. You can hook up your Codex in Stripe Projects, and if you want to deploy a website, it can go sign up for Vercel for you, and it can pay for it."

So now, what was previously a multi-step process where [the agent] could kind of do some version — it could orchestrate Vercel but not sign up for it — now it can pay for Vercel, it can pay for Cloudflare, it can pay for BrowserBase if you want to do headless web browsing."

"We think the agents are going to get so much more powerful, because we're giving them the ability to actually go buy what they need in the wider world, and then it can do way more end-to-end."

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

We just removed the waitlist on https://t.co/QwQF6d2TIz!

Also 14 new providers (now 32 total).

You can instantly provision all of them from the CLI.

[Stripe @stripe]

Vibedeploy with Stripe Projects, now available to everyone: https://t.co/fZqyuRojGD.

[Alexander T @agrafix]

@olshansky Lol; I should write another version of this post for current times :-)

[Alexander T @agrafix]

New services available via https://t.co/qS3zaV5Sdw :-)

[Stripe @stripe]

New providers now available in Stripe Projects:
@huggingface
@Cloudflare
@OpenRouter
@firecrawl
@flydotio
@Amplitude_HQ
@mixpanel
@inngest

[Alexander T @agrafix]

1000 new invites went out today 🚀

Stripe Projects in Cursor 3:

"Provision any new services I need"

Railway, PostHog, Vercel provisioned in a single prompt, with environment variables synced.

[John Collison @collision]

You can now browse the growing list of providers with agentic provisioning via Stripe Projects. "Claude, integrate PostHog. Make no mistakes." works straight from the CLI, including creating an account and API keys for you. https://t.co/4j6IJNec4R

Big moment @jeff_weinstein.

Zero-human companies being build autonomously using https://t.co/bJyOd1iD2W to spin up all the infra that it needs programatically.

What a time to be alive! No more messing around!

s/o to @dotta too!

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

Stripe is hiring two engineers to work on https://t.co/mOSaKMEqf2. If you love building developer/agent-facing tools, could be a dream job. Email me.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Stripe processed $1.9 trillion in payment volume last year. They just built a CLI that lets AI agents provision and pay for every service in your stack with one command.

Read that again.

Karpathy writes a blog post about how painful it is to wire up services manually. Patrick Collison quotes it and announces the fix. The fix happens to route every agent's billing through Stripe.

Vercel, Supabase, Neon, PlanetScale, PostHog, Clerk, Railway, Turso, Chroma, RunloopAI. All provisioned from the terminal. All billed through Stripe. One payment method stored once, shared across every provider via tokenized credentials.

This is the tollbooth strategy executed at infrastructure level. Stripe already handles payments for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, Midjourney, and Vercel. Now they're the layer that lets those tools' agents set up the services underneath them too. Every AI coding agent that spins up a database, connects auth, or adds analytics is doing it through Stripe's pipes.

The timing tells you everything. Stripe's valuation jumped 74% in one year to $159 billion. Their Revenue suite (Billing, Invoicing, Tax) is on track for $1 billion ARR. 25% of all Delaware corporations are already created through Stripe Atlas. And the new bet is that agents will provision more software, faster, than any human team ever did, and every transaction flows through one chokepoint.

The company that solved "accept payments on the internet" just solved "let robots buy software on the internet." The second market is going to be bigger than the first.

👂 For anyone who's played with @stripe projects:

Would you be open to sharing your experience with me via text/phone/video this weekend for ~10 minutes?

(Would _love_ your detailed, candid, brutal feedback.)

DM or jweinstein at stripe dot com

[Alexander T @agrafix]

@ianjanicki Awesome!! DM me if you have any feedback :)

[Jeff Weinstein @jeff_weinstein]

for any builders glued to their laptop this beautiful sunday:

i’m looking for another handful of beta testers to try a new, somewhat experimental command line tool and give us (critical, detailed) feedback.

reach out for a sneak peek =>

We just announced Stripe Scripts—one of the most powerful primitives we’ve ever shipped, starting with Billing.

In a few lines of code you can now change *how* Stripe works. And we’ll host and run *your* code for you.
