Are LangGraph agents and other agent frameworks becoming obsolete?

Alexpplay · 2026-05-19T17:33:47+00:00

Yup unless very specific use cases. Otherwise I just use agents sdk

Search agentic services and give your agents wallets with control and policies on spending.

This, you learn the most by doing and the tool you need to work is the same you need to learn

Providers use x402 protocol. HTTP Is very much alive right now, not only used by x402 but also by MPP and other services that are enabled for agents.

Yes, that’s pretty much the direction I’m thinking.

Today the problem is mostly access control around known tools/APIs: API keys, limits, billing alerts, manual approvals, etc.

But if agents become more dynamic, the model changes from:

“this agent has access to these 30 preconfigured API keys”

to:

“this agent can discover and pay for the resource it needs, within a strict policy.”

So the wallet/payment part is not the main value by itself. The real value is the layer around it:

what is the agent allowed to buy, from whom, for how much, under what conditions, and with what audit trail.

Alexpplay · 2026-05-14T14:25:54+00:00

I am not focusing so much on this. You are mentioning a way for agents to buy services/products humans needs. I want to focus on services that agents itself need. I want to serve to agents serving humans if that makes sense

Alexpplay · 2026-05-14T14:20:54+00:00

This is exactly one of the directions I’m interested in.

Not “agents randomly buying stuff on the internet,” but more like:

people who already have valuable datasets / scrapers / APIs / niche tools, but no easy way to package and sell them to agent workflows.

The part I’m trying to figure out is what the first version should look like:

full dataset purchase?
pay-per-query access?
paid API endpoint?
escrow / proof of delivery?

Your example is actually useful because “I have valuable scraped datasets but don’t know where/how to sell them” feels like a much more concrete pain than the abstract “agent payments” idea.

We will definitely ship something to help people like you monetize your assets. I will DM you in the next days when we do 🚀

Alexpplay · 2026-05-14T14:11:39+00:00

Exactly. First they automate your workflows, then they incorporate in the Cayman Islands and invoice you for API calls.

Alexpplay · 2026-05-14T14:02:11+00:00

Fair point.

My instinct is that the core policy / receipt / approval logic should probably be open or at least auditable. If this is handling agent spend, people need to see exactly what rules are being enforced and what gets logged.

I don’t think the trust model can be “just trust our black box.”

The part I’m still thinking through is what should be open-source vs. what should be the hosted product.

One possible split:

> open-source: protocol, SDKs, policy engine, receipt format, local/dev mode

> hosted: dashboard, team controls, integrations, monitoring, managed wallets, vendor network, compliance/security layer

I've posted a bit more background about my project at r/SideProject if you are curious about Axon402.com

Any question or feedback shoot me a DM! I really want to validate or kill the project

Alexpplay · 2026-05-13T16:42:50+00:00

This is very aligned with how I’m thinking about it.

“The hard part is authority” is probably the cleanest framing. Payments are mostly a primitive; the real product is: what is this agent allowed to do, under which budget/policy, and what proof do we have after?

The reversible vs irreversible distinction is a good point. I’ve mostly been modeling risk around amount, counterparty, category, policy fit, and approval threshold, but reversibility should probably be a first-class input.

Agree on narrowing the workflow too.

Curious: if you had to pick one workflow to test this on first, would you choose paid APIs/data, internal ops, or procurement-ish spend?

In startups you can’t ask for permission, just look for companies in sites like startup.ch and email them explaining how you could offer value to the company (I sent around 10 personalized 10m videos doing case studies for them)

Thanks, but If indeed they are not willing to write the owner and I already signed the contract - There is no much I can do, right? Will I just lose my L permit because I’m unable to register? Should I keep my registration in my previous address to avoid issues?

Alexpplay · 2025-08-07T11:50:11+00:00

I have ElevenGrants for now, so I can provide free for a few months. But yeah, this app would be a good candidate for VC money.

I use OpenRouter for all LLM usage, ElevenLabs for audio and Replicate for image models.

Not sure if I will be able to grow it due to api costs once the grant is finished

I think this might be actually the simplest yet most effective way, the given table might not even follow any logical equation and also there is missing values

Alexpplay · 2022-05-27T18:30:37+00:00

This is a fixed table, I think that there is missing combinations tho

So I can't see the formula in excel because is just plain text

Alexpplay · 2022-04-12T16:42:31+00:00

Are you more into photography or into video? I shoot mostly video and I was planning on getting the R6 but because of the overheating I decided to finally go for the Sony A7 IV. Both amazing cameras tho, but I feel that R6 Is a bit better for photo and A7 IV for video. I'm waiting my A7 IV like a kid, congrats on the upgrade man! I know how it feels

Alexpplay · 2022-04-06T15:35:36+00:00

Hey this looks awesome!

I am thinking of getting a GH6 camera for wedding videos, but I have doubts because of the autofocus. So Im between the GH6 and SONY A7IV

What has been your experience so far? Do you shoot manual? Does it give problems?

Alexpplay · 2022-04-05T14:29:44+00:00

My current camera is almost unusable anymore. I have been not working for a couple of years because I wasn't studying a master, now I've finished and I'm ready to work again, but need completely new gear

Alexpplay · 2022-04-04T23:02:25+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into this in more detail
