your browser agents can now complete online purchases without ever touching card data. agents on KERNEL now pay on checkout pages using aliases, not card data. we swap in the real credential at egress, so card numbers never touch your agent's runtime or context.

give your agents the ability to pay with users' actual cards, so users get to keep their card rewards and transaction history. @agentcardhq on KERNEL.
KERNEL x @agentcardhq allows users to authorize agent payments with their actual cards, preserving their transaction histories and card rewards. “agentcard allows customers to buy using their cards instead of one-time cards. we believe that buying things with agents should be easy and fast and we are very excited to partner with the KERNEL team to make that possible.” - @keyserfaty, co-founder & ceo at agentcard

auth isn't a one time job. it's keeping a browser profile alive through MFA, approvals, and reauth every time after the first. that's a @temporalio workflow. our founding engineer, @masonwilliams, on vibe check

every purchase your agent makes gets its own card. @link issues it single use, scoped to one merchant, amount, and purpose, drawn from the cards your users already have saved.
Replying to @agentcardhq
KERNEL x @link by @stripe lets browser agents pay with cards already saved in link. link issues single use cards with set transaction boundaries, including merchant, amount, and purpose. KERNEL enables browser agents to complete checkouts without exposing the underlying card details. "many online tasks ultimately end in a payment. KERNEL gives agents a secure environment to complete those transactions. by integrating link’s wallet for agents, KERNEL is making it simple for agent builders to turn on payments in one go." - @stevekaliski, principal software engineer at stripe

your users aren't all in the united states. now your agents don't have to be either. KERNEL browsers now run in eu-west and ap-southeast. pass in a region param and get 3x faster first byte on regional sites.

.@orchid_hq uses KERNEL x @agentcardhq to enable its personal ai assistant to handle any online purchase. "building agentic experiences at scale relies on providing the right infrastructure and gateways to those agents. KERNEL gives our agents a reliable path through checkout, while agentcard lets them pay exactly what the user approved. agentcard and KERNEL provide the stability agents appreciate." - @swedish_chef, product & growth at orchid

KERNEL retweeted
in the next version of KERNEL browsers egress is programmable much more coming on this front soon
everything we build is focused on giving agents the internet. safely, efficiently, at scale. this release puts us between the agent and the web, exactly where safety boundaries, runtime guardrails, and sensitive data handling belong.
