Agentic
Fully autonomous machine-to-machine transactions
Manual
Human-initiated API consumption and monetization
Hybrid
Combined human oversight with autonomous execution
Autonomous Machine Commerce
AI Agent API Access
Autonomous AI agents paying for API calls in real-time. No pre-provisioned keys, no credit limits. Agents authenticate with cryptographic payment proofs on every request.
An AI research assistant autonomously queries multiple data providers, paying micro-amounts per request without human intervention.
Multi-Agent Workflows
Enable agent-to-agent service transactions. One agent can pay another for specialized compute, data processing, or domain expertise.
A coding agent pays a security-audit agent to review generated code, then pays a deployment agent to ship it.
Autonomous Data Pipelines
ML training pipelines that pay for data as they consume it. Scale up or down dynamically based on budget and data quality.
A model training job pays for high-quality labeled data from multiple providers, automatically selecting the best price/quality ratio.
AI-to-AI Marketplaces
Decentralized marketplaces where AI services trade with each other. Inference, embeddings, fine-tuning—all transacted autonomously.
A language model pays an embedding service per query, which in turn pays a vector database for storage and retrieval.
Human-Initiated Transactions
Developer API Monetization
Turn any API into a revenue stream instantly. No Stripe integration, no billing logic. Just add Apiosk headers and start earning.
An indie developer monetizes their weather API with zero setup. Users pay $0.0001 per request directly to the developer's wallet.
IoT Device Payments
Embedded devices paying for cloud services, firmware updates, or inter-device communication without centralized billing.
A fleet of delivery robots pays for real-time mapping updates, each robot managing its own payment channel.
Pay-Per-Use Content
Access premium content, research papers, or media with micropayments. No subscriptions, no paywalls—just instant access.
Read a single research paper for $0.10 instead of paying $30/month for a journal subscription you barely use.
Enterprise API Metering
Replace complex billing systems with real-time settlement. Every API call is metered and paid instantly.
Enterprise customers pay exactly for what they use, with real-time cost visibility and no surprise invoices.
Best of Both Worlds
Compute Orchestration
Dynamically allocate compute resources across providers. Pay for GPU time, serverless functions, or edge compute per millisecond.
A video rendering job automatically distributes work across the cheapest available GPU providers, paying in real-time.
Federated Learning Markets
Coordinate distributed ML training with fair compensation. Data providers, compute providers, and model consumers all settle instantly.
Hospitals contribute to federated medical AI training, each receiving micropayments proportional to their data's contribution.
