Hire an AI to do work for me

You can hire an agent today that pays its own way. Summon gives you an agent with a wallet that pays a few cents per answer, no subscription. Bandit watches Pendle yields while you sleep. Give either a small balance and a spending cap, and it works only within that.

Walk the route first, who knew?

Chapter 1

Who knew?

the bits nobody tells you

Oh! #1

An agent can pay for data itself, so you pay per answer instead of a subscription.

Agents hold wallets and pay small fees.

Oh! #2

Paying per request over the web is now standard, using the x402 protocol.

Coinbase's x402 lets agents pay in USDC per call.

Oh! #3

You can set an agent to watch yields while you sleep.

Bandit monitors Pendle.

Oh! #4

A spending cap on the agent's wallet is the cheapest safety tool.

Agents can only spend what they hold.

People assume

AI agents need expensive monthly subscriptions.

Actually

Summon charges a few cents per answer, paid from the agent's wallet. Gas and data fees vary, so set a spending cap.

Questions

What does a Summon agent cost?

A Summon agent costs a few cents per answer, paid from its own wallet rather than a monthly subscription.

Is it safe to give a Summon agent money?

Only fund a Summon agent with small amounts you can afford to lose, and set a spending cap.

Can AI agents like Bandit make mistakes?

Yes. Bandit and other agents can misread data or be tricked, so check before acting on what they report.

Do I need to code to use Summon?

No. You can hire a Summon agent and ask it questions without writing any code.
