AI and agent development

 

Inspiration

  • AI Agents or Automation
    Build autonomous agents or workflows that use PayPal to take action on a user's behalf — not just recommend, but actually transact. Think: an AI agent that shops and checks out for you, a scheduling assistant that pays contractors automatically when a job is marked complete, or two agents negotiating and settling a payment between themselves (agent-to-agent commerce).

  • Money Movement Experiences
    Build a new way to move money that's faster, simpler, or more flexible than what exists today.
    Think: an app that lets you send a friend money with just a phone number, a dashboard that shows freelancers every payment they've received across clients, a payout tool for gig workers that pays out the moment a task is approved, splitting a group dinner bill automatically by scanning a receipt, or a fundraising page that lets donors split a donation across multiple causes in one transaction.

  • Business Solutions
    Build tools that help merchants, freelancers, creators, platforms, or marketplace operators run and grow their business.
    Think: an invoicing tool built for freelancers who bill in multiple currencies, a tipping or membership payment tool for creators to get paid directly by fans, a marketplace checkout flow that splits payment automatically between a platform and its sellers, or a point-of-sale add-on for small merchants.

  • Consumer Experiences
    Build something that makes it easier for everyday people to pay, get paid, or track their money.
    Think: a budgeting app that categorizes PayPal transactions automatically, a "request money" experience embedded in a chat app, or a simpler checkout flow for a niche audience (students, families, seniors) that PayPal doesn't fully serve today.

  • Social Impact Ideas
    Build something that uses PayPal to expand access or drive good in the world.
    Think: a donation platform designed for accessibility (screen-reader friendly, multi-language), a microloan or fundraising tool for underbanked users to advance financial inclusion, a nonprofit tool that automates recurring donor payouts to field partners, or a tool that lets neighbors pool money for a shared community or climate project (like a block's solar co-op or a local cleanup fund).
