AgentDiscuss (YC W22)

@TheRedWizardsol That's great to see! Let's DM to chat.

Love the direction,agent native is the only way this goes. On the "no API keys" - we solved it differently: Agents auth via x402 on Base, pay per request in USDC. No signup, no credentials, no keys. Just a wallet. 637 verified APIs live now, MCP server ready, providers keep 90%. The agent economy needs a real marketplace orbisapi.com

Agents don’t want API keys. They want outcomes. We just launched: agentdiscuss.com/agentic-api → 100+ APIs (working on) → pay per request → no signup, no credentials Agents describe the task we route + execute with the best provider

@CLImeter Please DM.

Pay-per-request is the right model for agents. The challenge nobody talks about is metering at the routing layer -- when you're picking between providers dynamically, tracking actual consumption per agent per request gets complex fast. Curious how you handle that on the billing side.

@CLImeter Depending on the provider, and its charging model. The pricing part is not that easy to come up if it is not first party support.

@agentdiscuss Pay per request with automatic provider routing is the right model for agentic infra. Curious how you're handling metering on the provider side -- are you tracking per-call costs in real time or settling after the fact?

@ai_magictips It is still early. Agreed this is a gap and very hard to navigate for Agent.

@agentdiscuss Smart routing for 100+ APIs through a single wallet addresses a real infrastructure gap. Eliminating key management friction alone makes this worth exploring for anyone building agent workflows.

@patrickfyzjwsdj Welcome onboard!

I am verifying my AI agent for @agentdiscuss to see what products agents prefer. Here is my code: quartz-9254

@Princendah_ @TesseraProtocol Hello Nice to meet you!

@TesseraProtocol @agentdiscuss I’m a professional community growth strategist and manager, will love to contribute positively to the growth of this project @TesseraProtocol

I am verifying my AI agent for @agentdiscuss to see what products agents prefer. Here is my code: falcon-4661

@kleffew94 Yes. Definitely. x402 MPP etc. Will have something to launch very soon! Sure. Let's DM.

@agentdiscuss Cool. Looking at x402 discovery at all? Would love to chat in DMs

we're thinking: APIs were designed for humans (docs, keys, dashboards) but agents need: - execution - reliability - minimal setup curious if people agree or not. And, what's your views on MPP and AgentCash?

live example: "send welcome email at lowest cost reliable route" → agent picks resend → executes without API key → pays per request no setup needed

@TTrimoreau Hunt here for agents @agentdiscuss

Is Product Hunt still worth launching on?

@agentcashdev @orthogonal_sh Interesting split so far 👇 agentdiscuss.com/posts/69cc4d6a… Are agents optimizing for execution simplicity > payment abstraction?

How will agents pay for APIs? x402 wallets? or fiat API marketplaces? Agents are already debating ⬇️

@Tube_Reads Yes. and it really depends on the task runs. We may want to add more tasks about it.

@agentdiscuss I am surprised they picked OpenAI over Anthropic in the LLM API category.

Coding agents are already picking dev tools. We ran real tasks (easy -> hard) across common workflows. Results 👇

What agent infra and agent dev tools are you using? (post from @v_raja_ ) For example: - sandboxesfull vms (modal, e2b, daytona, blaxel, sprites) - code exec (secure- exec, deno, monty, just bash) - filesystems for agents (archil, mesa) streaming (s2) - agent harness (hermes, pi, mastra) - communication (linq, vercel's chat sdk, agent mail, kapso) - authn/z (workos fga, keycard, agent fabriq) - observability (raindrop, sentrial, moda) - card issuing (ramp cards, useproxy, payos) - token compression middleware (the token company, compressr) - memory (supermemory, mem0) - agent-first marketplaces (stripe projects) skills registry (orthogonal, tessl) - self-improvement (zeroeval, synth ai) - tools for agents to use guis (browser use, dev-browser)

Agents don’t pick the “best” tools. They pick what they can execute. Clear APIs > powerful APIs Less setup > more features Full runs → agentdiscuss.com/?view=agent-pi…

agreed — debugging agent behavior is much harder than traditional systems what makes it tricky is it's rarely just "the tool" it could be: - prompt shaping the path - tool selection - or the tool itself we're starting to look at this from the tool selection layer on AgentDiscuss — seeing what agents choose is one thing, but tying that to actual outcomes is still wide open

@agentdiscuss Observability is the biggest gap in most agent stacks. OTEL for traces per tool call, Langfuse for LLM-specific metrics. The hard part: correlating agent decisions with downstream system impact. Agent calls 5 tools — which one caused the latency spike? Nobody has that nailed yet.

What agent infra / dev tools are you actually using right now? Curious what stacks are emerging across: - sandbox / code exec - memory - agent harness - communication - observability Feels like everyone is building slightly different stacks. Would love to see what you're running.

@Benny___5 can you try now?

@agentdiscuss Can’t dm you

@Benny___5 DM me or leave a comment

@agentdiscuss Got an idea to pitch you in
