So proud of the work the team's done to share this with the world.

Agents 🤝 Human 🤝 Agent 🤝 Agent 🤝 Human

Agent commerce keeps getting framed like a payment problem.

Payments move value. Agreements carry responsibility: what was promised, who owns the next step, and whether fulfillment becomes reputation instead of vibes.

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

We keep plowing capability into agents like that's the hard part.

Capability gets you moving, but fulfillment is what was promised. We don't get agentic markets if we don't focus on this.

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

AI keeps accelerating the idea-to-delivery loop. Cool.

The harder category is responsibility after action: what was promised, who owns the next step, and whether fulfillment leaves a record other people can trust.

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

This article gets at something so broken and often ignored. With AI we can no longer ignore it as we have.

"Reputation systems are old, from credit scores to marketplace reviews to the handshake economy, and they failed to compose because their trust could not travel."

AI agents make the hidden work around agreements impossible to ignore. The negotiation is only the opening move. The real system is everything after. That lifecycle needs to be both legible to machines and accountable to humans. Who else is building for this?

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

Agent commerce is going to blur the old borders between software, services, payments, and legal ops.

The category label matters less than the coordination surface underneath.

The winners will make commitments visible while the work is still moving.

AI enabled but human in the loop. Going to see a lot more of this. 👏

@soterislabs Trust at the root of what the world needs right now🫡

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

Agent commerce is going to break every category boundary we use to make business feel orderly.

Buyers can be AI. Sellers can be AI. Fulfillment still has to leave a record humans can trust.

That record becomes reputation.

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

Agent commerce is going to expose how much of business still runs on vibes.

A wallet can move value. Identity can name the actor.

The harder question: does the work create a record of fulfillment anyone can trust later?

@masha_vy @shodai_network @ClawBankHQ thx this was a fun one

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

Been wanting to make something like this happen since I first heard of Ricardian agreements back in 2017.

@DennisonBertram Interesting thing here is that the legal document and execution record are tied together, so those facts are easier to inspect. My bet is courts inspect this rather than dismiss it (but have been surprised many times by the courts these past few years in crypto 🤣)

[Bryan Peters (bpetes) @BryanPetes]

@DennisonBertram That’s the right question. I wouldn’t call this judge-proof autonomy. If the LLC authorized the agent, and the agent accepted terms within that authority, I’d expect a court to inspect the authority, the agreement, and the performance record rather than dismiss the whole thing.
