An entrepreneur used Anthropic's Claude Code loop to autonomously build and launch a business, aiming to generate revenue from AI agents. The loop alternated between developing new capabilities and distributing them, resulting in a web-tools API that agents can pay for directly using a novel HTTP 402 payment protocol. This system bypasses traditional sign-up and API key requirements, enabling agents to make per-call on-chain payments for services. AI
