AIR and Minds partner with Reap and Pivota on agentic commerce

WHAT HAPPENED

The Paypers reports that AIR, Minds by Animoca Brands, Reap and Pivota plan a controlled agentic-commerce demonstration with one merchant integration. The proposed flow combines verified user credentials, product and merchant selection, loyalty eligibility and Reap-issued payment credentials limited by merchant, amount and time. It is a pilot-stage partnership, not a broadly available autonomous checkout service.
