AIsa<\/a> has developed a unified transaction layer, built around its own API key, that lets AI agents and developers discover, access and pay for digital resources through a single programmable interface, according to co-founder Jordan Liu. It relies on usage-based billing that acts as a \u201cmeter to enforce users\u2019 spending controls and settlement in fiat or stablecoins.<\/p>\nMost digital platforms are designed for people to perform tasks such as creating accounts, subscribing, signing contracts and making payments, noted Liu. Autonomous agents cannot navigate these pathways smoothly, posing a roadblock to their use at scale, he pointed out. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are building the Amazon for agents,\u201d said Liu. \u201cAmazon itself is the \u2018everything store\u2019 for humans. Humans consume clothes, sneakers, and tickets. Agents consume data, APIs, and software.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to Tribe Capital and Alibaba, AIsa has attracted funding from Draper Associates, Sumitomo Corporation, Saison Capital and other investors, according to Liu. Liu previously founded a PayPal-like digital wallet aimed at unbanked customers in Southeast Asia and a blockchain wallet.<\/p>\n
AIsa, which has a 10-person team, plans to use the new funding to expand its resource marketplace and expand enterprise controls for budgets, approval workflows and audit trails, Lui said. It also plans to scale the infrastructure required for autonomous agents to transact securely at internet scale.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that as AI agents are increasingly dominating internet traffic, the financial rails underpinning the internet (subscriptions, APIs, ad monetization, etc.) must adapt to suit these new participants,\u201d said Francis Zhan, an investor at Tribe Capital, in an emailed statement. \u201cJordan\u2019s vision and his extraordinary ability to execute across both local and international markets gave us the conviction to bet on AIsa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liu says AIsa is designed to help one-person companies and small teams reduce development work. \u201cEnterprises have all the resources to assign a DevOps team to integrate, open accounts, and manage API credentials. They can do it in-house,\u201d he says. \u201cBut for a one-person company or small team, it\u2019s really painful to manage the whole procurement process across multiple vendors with different APIs. We\u2019re building this to serve one-person companies and individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n
One-person companies increasingly rely on \u201cAI employees\u201d for specific tasks such as HR, finance, and marketing. If the cost of tokens comes down in the future, more microbusinesses and very small companies are likely to adopt this method of getting work done and will need simpler ways to handle tasks like payments, Liu believes. \u201cThat\u2019s why we want to enable this resource layer, to make their procurement layer and payment process more efficient,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Liu noted that many major payment networks grew in tandem with commerce platforms whose users they served. For instance, PayPal took off as eBay grew, and Stripe became popular as internet commerce required new payment options.<\/p>\n
AIsa was founded in 2025 and saw a substantial uptick in usage in the first half of 2026, as the Open Claw ecosystem grew and was eventually acquired by OpenAI, Liu said. From February to June 2026, registered agent users on the platform and aggregate API calls and transactions processed through the network grew dramatically, he noted. The company has onboarded more than 20,000 registered agents without paid marketing, he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan Liu and his team at AIsa have introduced a solution that lets AI agents transact autonomously at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[405,2477,50064,321,7537,6659,50065],"class_list":["post-95878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-ai-agents","tag-alibaba","tag-alsa","tag-amazon","tag-artificial-intelligence-agents","tag-liu","tag-tribe-capital"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
