Frequently asked questions
Payman AI is a secure financial platform designed to enable AI agents and humans to transact with real money safely, under programmable policy rules and human oversight. It acts as a financial layer allowing AI to initiate payments without direct access to funds, ensuring security, compliance, and traceability.
It is for developers building AI applications needing automated payments, businesses automating finance workflows, and individuals who want AI to manage financial tasks safely and efficiently.
Users create wallets (USD, USDC, or test tokens), define policy rules (spending limits, approval requirements), and add payees to whitelist allowed recipients. AI agents send payment instructions through developer apps. Payman checks all policy rules, fund availability, and requires human approval if limits are exceeded before completing payments. AI never accesses funds directly.
The key features of Payman AI include the creation of cryptocurrency and fiat wallets, programmable policies for spending limits, approvals, and payee restrictions, human-in-the-loop control for manual approval of payments above thresholds, automated and programmatic payment processing with APIs and SDKs, integration with AI agent frameworks such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and LangChain, real-time payment tracking and reporting, and a marketplace for task outsourcing where AI pays humans for tasks.
Developers can use a single function call such as payman.ask("Send $10 to Jane for lunch") that performs parsing, policy evaluation, balance checking, and payment sending automatically behind the scenes with full compliance and auditability.
Live wallets currently support USD (ACH) and USDC. A sandbox token “TSD” is provided for testing and experimentation.
Payman AI is SOC 2 and PCI certified, implementing strict security policies to protect data and transactions. AI never accesses primary bank accounts directly, mitigating risks of unauthorized access or fraud.
Users create wallets, define spending policies, approve or deny payments, and manage payees. Developers configure apps and programmatic wallet access. AI agents operate strictly within the defined rules and limits.
Payman supports use cases such as AI paying humans for task completion in marketplaces, automated payroll or expense reimbursement, AI-managed peer-to-peer payments, marketing payments (e.g., influencers), and engineering tasks such as paying for code reviews or user feedback.
Developers request an invite, enable developer mode, install the Payman SDK (e.g., via npm), register their app on the dashboard, configure wallets, policies, and payees, then integrate Payman APIs for automated payments.
