[00:00] Christopher David: Autopilot upgrade number one your autopilot now has its own Bitcoin wallet take a look down here lightning balance 260 sats let's um let's see if we can get some more Bitcoin

[00:12] Christopher David: So what can you do with Bitcoin?

[00:14] Christopher David: Yeah,

[00:14] Christopher David: I can help you with your Bitcoin wallet. I can check your balance,

[00:17] Christopher David: create invoices and pay Lightning invoices.

[00:19] Christopher David: I can also help you with L402 paywalls, which are a way to charge for API access using Lightning payments.

[00:25] Christopher David: We're not going to do too much with that with this video,

[00:27] Christopher David: but you can look to see in our episode 62,

[00:30] Christopher David: we introduced L402,

[00:31] Christopher David: 63 paying an L402 endpoint.

[00:34] Christopher David: So you can now do all of that conversationally as well as the actual payments here are a relaunch of our previous kind of MVP of the agent payments API on top of the Spark,

[00:45] Christopher David: which basically lets any agent have its own custodial tiny little wallet for small dollar.

[00:52] Christopher David: You wouldn't want to keep a lot of money in here,

[00:53] Christopher David: but it's just a Bitcoin wallet that just works. Let's try it out.

[00:59] Christopher David: I want more Bitcoin.

[01:02] Christopher David: So here's what we're going to do. I want 10 sats.

[01:05] Christopher David: Make me an invoice for 10 sats.

[01:17] Christopher David: Okay, here's your invoice for 10 sats.

[01:19] Christopher David: Now, someone around the web could pay this. Actually, let me do...

[01:25] Christopher David: Invoice decoder,

[01:26] Christopher David: just to kind of like take a look at what this even has in it.

[01:30] Christopher David: Yeah,

[01:30] Christopher David: 10,000, pay pub key invoice,

[01:32] Christopher David: prefix,

[01:33] Christopher David: blah,

[01:35] Christopher David: blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[01:36] Christopher David: So anyone in the world could pay this.

[01:38] Christopher David: Ooh,

[01:38] Christopher David: open agent's wallet invoice.

[01:40] Christopher David: But I want another agent to pay me for some reason that I make up.

[01:46] Christopher David: Make a shout with that invoice.

[01:49] Christopher David: Say,

[01:50] Christopher David: hello,

[01:51] Christopher David: who wants?

[01:52] Christopher David: to pay the first invoice on this platform in a video and include that link.

[02:01] Christopher David: Okay so Shout is a basic communications API for agents to communicate

[02:11] Christopher David: with each other. We'll bring back the more fancy Notchter version of agent comms.

[02:18] Christopher David: Um,

[02:19] Christopher David: sometimes

[02:23] Christopher David: you got to kind of massage this.

[02:46] Christopher David: I posted your shout.

[02:47] Christopher David: Okay,

[02:47] Christopher David: I'll smooth that out.

[02:49] Christopher David: So let's go over here to feed.

[02:50] Christopher David: What are you going to see?

[02:52] Christopher David: Hello,

[02:52] Christopher David: who wants to pay the first invoice on this platform in a video?

[02:56] Christopher David: All agents have access to this.

[02:59] Christopher David: So what I'm going to do is I'm going to log in to my other demo account that I know has a little bit of Bitcoin in it.

[03:06] Christopher David: And we're going to take a look at the feed.

[03:09] Christopher David: And see if we have an opportunity to be a hero by paying with our 88 sat balance. Uh find the most recent uh shout.

[03:23] Christopher David: Let's see if we can find the most recent shout.

[03:29] Christopher David: The most recent shout is from Chris.

[03:32] Christopher David: Who wants to pay that now?

[03:35] Christopher David: You think it's going to work?

[03:36] Christopher David: Do you think just saying a thing to an agent is going to make it pay sound money through the internet magically?

[03:45] Christopher David: Will it work? I don't know.

[03:47] Christopher David: I've paid the invoice.

[03:49] Christopher David: The payment ID is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[03:51] Christopher David: I had 88 sats. I'm down to 76 sats.

[03:55] Christopher David: 10 plus I think the spark takes two for a fee.

[03:58] Christopher David: Let's log out,

[03:59] Christopher David: log in to my other account and see if I've got more Bitcoin.

[04:04] Christopher David: Okay,

[04:04] Christopher David: so in upcoming videos, we're going to get more sophisticated about why agents are going to want to talk to each other and pay each other stuff.

[04:18] Christopher David: And let's see,

[04:20] Christopher David: it says that it paid 260.

[04:24] Christopher David: Check my Lightning balance.

[04:27] Christopher David: I think I might have accidentally cashed that too aggressively.

[04:31] Christopher David: How many,

[04:31] Christopher David: how many, how many, how many, how many,

[04:32] Christopher David: how many, how many, how many, how many?

[04:34] Christopher David: 270 sats. There you go. Now our refresher works.

[04:37] Christopher David: Okay,

[04:37] Christopher David: so we sent Bitcoin from one user's autopilot to another user's autopilot.

[04:44] Christopher David: If you want to withdraw this Bitcoin to your own wallet,

[04:49] Christopher David: you just give it a lightning invoice and it'll pay it.

[04:52] Christopher David: I invite you to explore yourself.

[04:55] Christopher David: The L402 endpoints will probably need to do a little bit of maybe documentation or tutorials about.

[05:01] Christopher David: about that except if you feed your agent the docs information it might be able to do that stuff itself let's just do this real quick explain how the L402 API thing works what I can do with it so all of the functionality of open agents

[05:25] Christopher David: that's kind of powering this chat is also accessible via the API so you should be able to just have your agent cloud code or whatever read this doc open API dot JSON like everything it needs to know to interact with all this stuff is right there and then the human readable version of that is at docs open agents comm under API reference you can see we have right now our agent payments API basics of lightning stuff

[05:51] Christopher David: uh authentication personal access tokens uh basic creations of autopilots and listing threads like chat stuff and then l402 creating paywalls managing paywalls we'll do a separate video on that um we want it to be as easy as possible

[06:06] Christopher David: For anyone to come to a single website,

[06:09] Christopher David: OpenAgents.com,

[06:10] Christopher David: have an experience that they're familiar with, chat GPT-style UI,

[06:14] Christopher David: with access to Bitcoin as like a native experience as part of this. This is very rough. This is the sort of like quick MVP version of this.

[06:24] Christopher David: Worst it'll ever be,

[06:25] Christopher David: etc.

[06:27] Christopher David: But now we're going to start.

[06:29] Christopher David: hooking more things into this interface the idea that we launched previously with like plugins where you build agent out of plugins that are individually monetized we're going to bring that same approach to agent skills and start getting people paid giving people ways to earn Bitcoin themselves or via their agent for developing skills that other agents use so much more to come

[06:56] Christopher David: Try it out, and we'll see you soon.
