AWS just gave AI agents their own wallets. Your agent can now pay for itself.

This dropped 4 days ago and I haven't seen enough people talking about it. AWS launched Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments in partnership with Coinbase and Stripe. The short version: your agent now has a wallet and can spend money on its own. Here's what the workflow actually looks like now: You give your agent a Coinbase or Stripe wallet. You fund it. You set a session spending limit (e.g. "$5 max per run"). It hits a paid API mid-execution? It pays. Paywalled data it needs? A better-suited agent available for a subtask? It pays that agent and gets the result back.
