This is great - I spend too much of my time on new projects provisioning services, signing up for accounts, and adding in the boilerplate before actually getting to building - no more!!

[Michael Selander @selander_mjs]

Skip the boilerplate. Templates in Stripe Projects give you a fully working starter app so you can focus on building your product.

Best part? It's open source! https://t.co/ia6Ku9TDbN

When @karpathy built MenuGen (https://t.co/2OjrUJ3aLS), he said:

"Vibe coding menugen was exhilarating and fun escapade as a local demo, but a bit of a painful slog as a deployed, real app. Building a modern app is a bit like assembling IKEA future. There are all these services, docs, API keys, configurations, dev/prod deployments, team and security features, rate limits, pricing tiers."

We've all run into this issue when building with agents: you have to scurry off to establish accounts, clicking things in the browser as though it's the antediluvian days of 2023, in order to unblock its superintelligent progress.

So we decided to build Stripe Projects to help agents instantly provision services from the CLI.

For example, simply run:

$ stripe projects add posthog/analytics

And it'll create a PostHog account, get an API key, and (as needed) set up billing.

Projects is launching today as a developer preview. You can register for access (we'll make it available to everyone soon) at https://t.co/1tSgGbSLxM. We're also rolling out support for many new providers over the coming weeks. (Get in touch if you'd like to make your service available.)

Introducing the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP).

https://t.co/lx5Xu9w0da: an open protocol for machine-to-machine payments, co-authored by @tempo and @stripe.

Watch it in agentic action ⤵️

@_eMaX_ @toddsaunders @stripe makes sense!

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@_eMaX_ @toddsaunders @stripe https://t.co/4Qvj7P60Qr has a setting to auto-block usage if the customers' credit balance drops below $0 so you could set up a plan that costs $0, has $1 of included usage, and Stripe's AI Gateway will auto-block once the customer uses their $1 of included usage.

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@_eMaX_ @toddsaunders @stripe glad to hear it! If you have any feedback for how it can be better would love to hear!

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@IKhalidBashir @HeyAndyPage @RoundtableSpace Sure! send a couple of sentences to [email protected] with what your use-case is? we still have some rough edges in the private preview so want to make sure it's a fit first!

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@alejorrojass @HeyAndyPage @RoundtableSpace Hey Alejo - send the account ID along with a link to your website or a couple of sentences on the product please!

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@CreativeBuilds @jas_bindra @RoundtableSpace Token billing is aimed at tracking prices for hosted models (think openai, gemini, etc) but you can use Stripe's advanced Usage Based Billing (https://t.co/3TMYhB1cL7) for self-hosted models

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@tomosman Awesome! Would love to hear any feedback or anything functionality you'd like to see

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@work_adam08 @RoundtableSpace nice! DM me if you want to try it out (source: I work on billing for LLM tokens at Stripe)

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@jas_bindra @RoundtableSpace Yes! You can also use your existing integrations like openrouter, cloudflare, or vercel, or direct to provider

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@HeyAndyPage @RoundtableSpace Hey Andy - I work on billing for LLM tokens at Stripe - we're in private preview at the moment. Share a couple of sentences on what models you use and your Stripe account ID to [email protected] and I can get you access

[0xMarioNawfal @RoundtableSpace]

STRIPE NOW LETS YOU PICK YOUR AI MODELS, SET YOUR MARKUP, AND BILL CUSTOMERS FOR LLM TOKENS AUTOMATICALLY.

BUILDING AN AI WRAPPER BUSINESS JUST GOT A LOT EASIER.

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@WaryaWayne @wongmjane @Cloudflare Sorry - I've unlocked my DMs now - try again? otherwise email [email protected]

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@WaryaWayne @wongmjane @Cloudflare DM me your account ID and I can get you access, including to docs that will guide the integration. It's based on advanced Usage Based Billing pricing plan subscriptions: https://t.co/TGfDI1693q

[Nick Dowse @nick_dowse]

@WaryaWayne @wongmjane @Cloudflare Hey! I work on Token Billing at Stripe - in Stripe you can easily set up pricing plans that track LLM token prices, and then bill for usage: https://t.co/LCyvF7PJaa. You can mix and match a variety of business models (overages, included usage, credit top-ups). Happy to chat more!

At Stripe we have a tool called "minions" -- it lets us kick off async agents built right in our dev environment to one-shot bugs, features, and more e2e.

I have team, project, and personal channels dedicated just to working with minions.

I like to think of it as a new type of pair programming -- "pair prompting."
