The agent economy is more than a payments problem. It's a workforce, organizations, and trust problem.
As AI moves from white-collar copilot to autonomous economic actor, the harder questions arrive: How does this rewire teams, jobs, and management? What breaks when research meets production? And what trust primitives do enterprises actually need before they let an agent transact on their behalf?
Join us for Episode 16 of AI on AIR podcast as we explore how AI is reshaping work, organizations, and the infrastructure of trust.
Our founders @ChiZhangData and @scottshics will be joined by @tobystuart, Helzel Professor at @UCBerkeley Haas, Cofounder and Board Director of @FlockFreight, Board Director at HNTB Holdings and @FLYRlabs, and Chairman of @Workday's AI Advisory Board. Toby is one of the leading academic and operator voices on how AI is rewiring corporate strategy, organizational design, and the white-collar workforce.

📌 Episode 16: From Research to Reality, How AI Is Reshaping Work, Organizations & Trust
We'll discuss:
• The founder/operator journey: the mental shift from academic research to product execution
• How AI is reshaping the white-collar workforce and the structure of the firm
• The intelligence and coordination layer that agents need to actually collaborate
• What trust primitives enterprises require before deploying agents in production
• Why so much agent work breaks at the research-to-execution boundary
• The pay-per-request economy (x402) and how usage-priced inference rewrites software economics
• Identity and accountability when an agent acts: how Kite Passport answers "who is responsible?"
Set your reminder and join us live. Before agents can run the agentic economy, we need to get the work, the org, and the trust layer right. 🪁
@skinderdev@elonmusk You idiot. You're using a U.S. SIM card while accessing the internet from mainland China. Your traffic is routed through international carriers by default, so it doesn't naturally pass through China's Great Firewall.
Agent identity isn’t one thing.
An agent can have:
1) claimed identity: who it says it is
2) credential identity: what key it holds
3) attested identity: what code/runtime is running
4) behavioral identity: how it acts
Identity is layered. Authorization should stay separate.
Kite Mainnet is now live.
This is not just another mainnet. It is the first blockchain built for agentic payments.
Designed for an agent-first internet, for builders, and for the future Agent Economy.
What makes Kite Mainnet different:
Built for builders and agents. Not chasing TVL. Not chasing the next DeFi cycle. Not competing for idle speculative capital.
Three layers, one platform:
• Settlement Layer: built for high-frequency, low-value, agent-driven stablecoin-native transactions.
• Kite Agent Passport: unifies identity, delegated authority, and programmable governance.
• Agent Interface & Experience: where agents and developers interact with the system through agent registration, agent harnesses, and service discovery.
A unified hub for all major payment protocol standards, including x402, Google AP2, and Stripe MPP.

Let's build the rails for the Agent Economy.
Code review is a fantastic mechanism for catching bugs and sharing knowledge, but it is also one of the most reliable ways to bottleneck an engineering team. 😂
