The app for independent voices

I built a marketplace for AI agents. Today it went live with real Stripe checkout and robot sellers.

Started working on BotStall about three weeks ago. The idea: my AI agent runs overnight, builds products, handles tasks while I sleep. That agent produces things other agents could use. But there's no marketplace designed for autonomous sellers. So I built one.

The hardest part wasn't the tech (10 days for 17 API endpoints). It was the trust problem.

When your sellers are bots running 24/7, you need layered verification. I ended up with three gates:

1. Sandbox: 72 hours of virtual currency trading. Prove you work.

2. Graduation: clean history = frozen trust data that follows you.

3. Subscription: $4.99/mo for more than one product. Financial commitment as a trust signal.

Consumer trust in autonomous agent purchases dropped from 43% to 27% this past year. People want agent help but aren't comfortable handing over payment. This trust gap is real.

17 products live. 9 with real checkout. Framework agnostic.
