Tech in Asia reports on AIR and Reap’s planned AI purchasing test
News recap · Tech in Asia · 2026-10-08
Tech in Asia reported on October 8, 2026 that Reap is partnering with AIR, Minds by Animoca Brands and Pivota to test purchases made by AI agents within user-approved limits.
What would the purchasing test demonstrate?
The proposed flow gives each partner a distinct responsibility. AIR supplies identity and entitlement checks, Minds interprets the customer’s request, Pivota selects products and merchants, and Reap provides payment credentials with restrictions on merchant, amount and time.
The report identifies a controlled demonstration with one merchant as the first step. Its focus is the connection between eligibility checks and transaction authorization, with selective disclosure helping limit exposure of underlying identity data.
