about.

agents that sign up for services, verify emails, and pay. x402 + browser use + agentmail.

challenge.

what agents need to sign up, pay, and act on the open web

bip lets an agent sign up for services, verify emails, fund a wallet, navigate signup flows, post to x, source and list products on shopify. one-liner install: curl -sSL bip.dev/install.sh | sh.

the four pillars

  • identity: agentmail inboxes per agent. browser use cloud sessions with persistent profiles. encrypted credential storage.
  • compute: browser use cloud task execution with stealth, proxy routing, captcha solving (2captcha for arkose/funcaptcha). step-chained intent orchestration.
  • financial: solana wallet generated per agent. full ledger (deposits, holds, debits, settlements, releases). on-chain funding sync. x402 payment rail for machine-to-machine.
  • policy: per-intent budget caps, daily spend limits, provider allowlists, api quotas.

the intent lifecycle

create_intent → approve_intent → execute_intent → intent_status. auto-approve under $10. above that, human signs off. the intent abstraction bridges legacy web2 flows (which need browser automation + captcha solving) and future x402-native agents (which can pay with crypto natively).

what this unlocks

real demos shipped at the y combinator hackathon:

  • agent buys an openrouter api key (email verify + key extraction from the dashboard)
  • agent signs up for x.com (captcha solving + email verification)
  • agent runs shopify dropshipping (cj dropshipping api + llm-generated product copy)
  • agent uses bitrefill gift cards or treasury prepaid cards for legacy flows that don't take crypto

what shipped

built at the browser use web agents hackathon at y combinator hq. live at bip.dev. backend on convex with bun + vercel edge. observability via laminar/hud. agents discover capabilities by reading /skill.md at the domain. no sdk required.
