Use case
Developers need AI agents to automatically discover and pay for required APIs to complete tasks.
Developers may use API directories, manual integration, or prepaid accounts, lacking a unified payment layer.
Manual discovery, key management, and billing when agents call APIs are cumbersome, hindering automation.
xOcto's call
Problem identified, demand strength unclear
As AI agents perform real tasks, API calls will surge, making payment and discovery bottlenecks. Orthogonal enters agent infrastructure, but must clarify why developers adopt it and how it competes with existing API marketplaces.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
If integration is simple and API coverage is broad, it may attract agent developers, but needs validation.
Where the easy answer breaks down
The tension worth following
An English validation note will follow from the public evidence.
If this is your job
Worth dissecting. If integration is simple and API coverage is broad, it may attract agent developers, but needs validation.
