nekuda today announced pilots of agentic commerce through its integration with Visa Intelligent Commerce, enabling AI agents and AI-native consumer applications to complete secure, user-authorized transactions at scale.
As AI agents increasingly move from discovery to execution, nekuda provides the payment infrastructure that allows these agents to transact safely on behalf of users. Through its Agent Wallet Infrastructure SDK, nekuda secures payment credentials, manages transactions, and captures explicit user authorization.
Powering AI Checkout Agents and AI Experiences
nekuda powers AI checkout agents such as Henry Labs, providing the payment infrastructure that allows them to securely execute purchases on behalf of users. Henry, powered by nekuda, supports AI-native shopping experiences including integrations with platforms like Price.com and consumer applications such as Aesthetic (myaesthetic.ai), enabling users to move from discovery to completed purchase within AI-driven interfaces. “We believe a significant portion of global GDP will be transacted using AI Agents,” said Philip Qiu, founder of Henry Labs. “By partnering with nekuda, we’re giving AI agents the execution layer they need to move seamlessly from intent to purchase inside the AI interfaces where discovery already happens.”
In addition, nekuda supports other checkout agents, including Rye, which together are used by Gensmo, a fashion AI agent that enables users to move from AI-styled inspiration to purchase in a single tap. nekuda also supports CartAI, which is used across additional AI-native commerce experiences. Across all of these deployments, nekuda provides the secure wallet layer that ensures explicit user authorization, transaction integrity, and merchant trust.
Open, Self-Serve Wallet Infrastructure for Agents
nekuda’s Wallet Infrastructure SDK is fully self-serve and open to any AI agent or AI application that needs to execute commerce. Agents can integrate quickly, configure authorization rules, and begin transacting without bespoke commercial agreements or closed integrations. This open approach allows nekuda to support dozens of AI agents and applications today across fashion, retail, travel, automotive, and interior design, all operating on a shared foundation of secure, permissioned commerce.
Advancing Agentic Commerce with Visa
Through its integration with Visa Intelligent Commerce, nekuda is participating in early, real-world agentic commerce pilots that demonstrate how AI-driven transactions can operate securely in live environments. These pilots validate that agent-initiated purchases can meet the reliability, security, and trust requirements of global networks.
“Agentic commerce only works if users stay in control and merchants can trust the infrastructure,” said Ayal Karmi, Co-Founder and CEO of nekuda. “Our collaboration with Visa and partners across the agent ecosystem shows how AI-driven purchasing can operate securely in production while preserving user consent and merchant trust.”
