## Summary

Stripe announced Treasury for agents, letting AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude perform core financial actions inside the Stripe dashboard. Product lead JR Farr said the feature is meant to let founders spend more time building and less on admin. Startups can use agents to check balances, pay invoices, move money between accounts, and convert currencies without learning new software. Future updates promise card creation and spending‑limit controls.

Vlad Stan, founder of the children’s education platform Kubrio, described his workflow: an AI agent named Stash reviews balances, subscriptions and payments daily, freeing him to focus on content. The service also lets owners set permissions so some actions require human approval, adding a safety layer. Stripe notes the solution is not a bank and relies on a third‑party partner, so users must stay aware of compliance and security considerations. The number of solo founders earning over $1 million has doubled, highlighting demand for lean, automated tools.
