Founder’s Talk EP2 ｜Kite AI Co-Founder & CEO: Are Agents the Future of Payments?

🎙️ For our Episode 2, we’re joined by Chi Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Kite AI who is a builder at the intersection of AI, data, and crypto. Chi shares her journey from AI research to data infra, and now to a new frontier: designing payment systems for autonomous agents. Chi highlights a core challenge in AI today: data remains the ultimate bottleneck. As the field shifts from models to agents, the design of infrastructure — especially for how agents interact and pay — becomes mission-critical. That’s where agentic payments come in. She outlines Kite’s vision for a next-gen payment stack, optimized for agent execution. Through its collaboration with Brevis, Kite introduces zero-knowledge proof-based verification, enabling agents to transact securely and autonomously without sacrificing trust. 💬 What you'll hear in this episode: Why agentic payments are poised to reshape Web3 How Brevis adds trust to autonomous transactions Why data bottlenecks are AI’s biggest constraint How Kite treats fundraising as network building, not just capital raising What it means to build for the final 5 viable paths, not the first 1000 ⏰ Timeline： 00:00 opening 00:07 Introduction of Kite AI and Chi Zhang 02:01 Chi Zhang's Journey in AI & Data 05:12 The Bottleneck of Data in AI 09:19 The Rise of Agentic Payment 12:46 More Than Funding, But Connections 15:55 Building Trust in Agentic Transaction with Brevis 19:25 Design the Future of Payments #KiteAI #ai #crypto #agents #payment
