AI buyers

AI agents for buying are here - Stripe just announced it.
SaaS idea for ya… Imagine getting AI agents to buy stuff for you that normally takes a lot of effort:
- Book plane tickets - set low price thresholds and get agents to crawl the site daily and book when there’s discounts or price reaches the threshold
- Book anything in fact, for stuff where the prices fluctuates seasonally, or during demand spikes. Concert tickets, hotel rooms, even food.
- Trading. Imagine Claude reading, analysing the market and buying on your behalf (with set buying thresholds of course).
- AI dropshipping (I know I know). Customer makes an order, your agent buys it off Ali Baba and sends direct to your customer.
- Buying other SaaS APIs or plugins as it builds your SaaS!
