We just killed…everything.
Introducing Monid, the OpenRouter for agent tools.
Today we crossed 4M agent transactions. And raised a $2.1M pre-seed to kill every subscription in the world.
Your agents can now:
> discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime
> one connection to 1,800 APIs: SEO, leads, search, ecommerce, stocks, video/image/music/3D gen, private company data
> all pay per call, 0 subscriptions

Woo hoo! The future is AI + human collaboration.
PayMan’s marketplace and payment rails for AI to hire humans is an important part of this future ecosystem.
If you’re building AI agents, make sure “hiring a human” is one of their skills 🛠️
Excited to announce @PaymanAI has raised a $3M pre-seed to pioneer AI to Human Payments! 🤖 + 🧑🏽
We’re proud to be backed by @Visa, @cbventures, @BoostVC, @deepwatermgmt, @SpartanGroup, @UntappedVC, @TheoryForgeVC and other awesome investors!
With Payman, AI can pay humans to help them complete tasks like marketing ones shown in the video.
Our Vision
We believe AI and Humans will always work together. Giving AI the capability to work with humans involves giving them access to capital, and access to humans. Payman’s platform makes it easy for AI to pay humans for what it needs. This includes information, tasks that need to be completed, and so much more.
We believe a key reason that AI Agents have struggled is because they aren’t able to ask for help from humans and incentivize them to help out. Building out the AI-Human payments infrastructure solves this and it’s why we’re so excited about what we’re building.
Today 100% of the global economy is human to human payments. AI will start to eat a big chunk of that and Payman will be the rails by which it does so.
How it’s going
Since announcing Payman a couple of months ago we have 15,000+ people on the waitlist ready to use the product. In the meantime we’ve hired a stellar team to build out the production version of the product and have started onboarding Developers and Human’s to the platform this week.
If you’re a developer and you'd like to get access, check out our website paymanai.com/forms/contact-e… and sign up for early access.
Additional Rockstar Investors
In addition to the above investors we’re also proud to be backed by @protofundvc, Systemic Ventures, @MetropolisDAO, and our awesome angel investors, Paris 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist @ViktorAxelsen, @devinawalsh, @nkennethk, @eek637, and many more!

Any college students interested in autonomous agents? I want to put together a market map of startups/projects in the space!
Couldn't get @babyagi_ to do this, so I posted a paid gig on @wearevaqat to give a college student a chance to show us what they got!
To apply, create an account and search for "Untapped Capital": vaqat.com
