We’ve become so used to using AI for writing, generating images, coding, researching,
and working through everyday problems that it’s easy to overlook how quickly these tools are evolving.
Tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and other AI assistants have become part of how people learn, create, and get work done.
But there’s another development worth paying attention to:
AI is moving beyond generating responses towards agents that can use connected tools and services to carry out tasks.
Think about booking a flight.
An AI assistant can help you research destinations, compare prices, and decide which option suits you.
With the right integrations, an agent may also be able to prepare a booking and help complete the steps involved.
And some of those steps involve money.
A purchase needs to be paid for. A service needs to be booked. A financial operation needs to be carried out.
This introduces another dimension to AI. We’re no longer talking only about the information these systems can generate,
but also the actions they can perform through the tools and services available to them.
So, how can AI agents participate in financial transactions while keeping access to money and sensitive credentials under the user’s control?
