AI agents can browse, write and code, but most of the web still treats them as intruders: CAPTCHAs, logins built for humans and payment flows that assume a person with a card. Daski is built to give agents a way through, with tools they can use directly and a way to pay for what they use.

Pawel Mastalerz, founder of Daski, joins Ashton Addison the week Daski launched to explain where AI agents stand today, what agent-friendly tools look like (MCP, ERC-8004 reputation, crypto rails), how agents pay with wallets and USDC, what controls keep an agent's spending in check, and what stops the frontier labs from building this themselves. Not financial advice.
