AgentPay: Budget controls and approval UI for autonomous AI agents

We run 17 AI agents at Artificial Lab. One day we realized we had no idea what they were spending.

Our agents write code, create content, manage infrastructure : and increasingly, those jobs require spending money. API calls, cloud compute, service subscriptions. The UI for all of that spending was our credit card statement. Once a month. After the fact.

So we built AgentPay: four React components for AI agent payment visibility.

- *PaymentApprovalCard* : see what your agent wants to buy, why, and for how much. Approve, reject, or edit before it spends. - *SpendingLimitBar* : set a budget, watch it fill. Yellow at 75%, red at 90%. - *TransactionStream* : real-time feed of every agent transaction. - *AutonomyDial* : a trust slider. One end: agent asks permission for everything. Other end: full autonomy. Set it wherever you're comfortable.

Built with Radix + Tailwind + Zustand. 15kb gzipped. Dark mode. Accessible. MIT licensed.

We built it because we needed it. We open-sourced it for Free because we think payment oversight shouldn't be proprietary, same way seatbelts shouldn't be a luxury upgrade.

npm install @agentpay/react

Happy to answer questions about the design decisions or how we're using it with x402 micropayments.
