## Source summary

The Paypers reports that American Express published its Intent Intelligence framework through the ACE Developer Kit. It describes capturing and authenticating customer purchase instructions before an AI agent transacts, then linking an Intent ID and Proof of Intent Token to a scoped payment credential and subsequent checks.

## Why it matters

This is a proposed control approach for agentic payment authorization and disputes, not evidence of ecosystem-wide adoption or measured fraud reduction. The report describes company claims, not an independent performance test.
