FPT and Visa launch 1 agent-native platform for B2AI economy
FPT AI Factory, in partnership with InFlow and Visa Intelligent Commerce, on May 13 launched an agent-native commerce platform, creating a new framework for a "Business-to-AI" (B2AI) economy where AI agents conduct transactions autonomously.
"This collaboration allows seamless AI agent workflows to autonomously research, procure, and pay for services while ensuring security and compliance," the companies said in a statement.
The platform gives AI agents access to frontier AI models, allowing them to dynamically route tasks based on cost, latency, or performance. This enables the agents to execute complex commercial tasks without direct human intervention, a step beyond current enterprise automation. The system is built on Visa's global payment infrastructure, providing a secure and compliant backbone for the transactions.
For FPT ($FPT), the partnership is a strategic move to solidify its position in the high-growth enterprise AI market. By integrating with Visa's vast network, FPT can offer a unique, scalable solution that could unlock significant new revenue streams from automated service procurement, potentially boosting investor confidence in its long-term AI strategy.
The announcement positions FPT at the forefront of the emerging B2AI sector, where businesses transact directly with AI agents. This contrasts with the B2C or B2B models that have dominated commerce. The platform's architecture, which allows agents to select the most efficient AI model for a given task, suggests a focus on economic efficiency that could be attractive to large enterprises looking to automate procurement and other service-oriented tasks.
The move comes as other companies, like travel management firm FCM with its 'Sam' AI assistant, are also deploying specialized AI agents to automate complex workflows. While FCM's tool is focused on the travel vertical, it represents the broader industry trend toward autonomous systems that FPT and Visa are now aiming to standardize for general commerce. The success of this platform will depend on its ability to provide enterprise-grade security and reliability for financial transactions conducted entirely by AI.
