Paitify

The authorization layer for AI agent spending

What it does

AI agents ask Paitify before they pay: instant approve/deny against your policies, human in the flow, and a tamper-evident audit trail of every decision. Rail-agnostic, MCP-native, works with Claude. Never moves your money.

Paitify is the MCP-native spend policy engine for AI agents, with cryptographically-signed, offline-verifiable approvals and a complete audit trail.

Paitify is the spend policy engine for autonomous AI agents. Define granular rules, authorize transactions in real time, and maintain a complete audit trail — without slowing your agents down. { "state": "CAPTURED", "authorizationId": "b2f1e4a0-…", "amount": 249.99, "merchant": "AWS" } auto_approve < $500 · human_approval ≥ $500 · hard_cap $3,000 Amount (USD) $ Merchant Authorize Enter an amount and hit Authorize to see a live decision. 90 seconds: watch an AI agent get auto-approved at $49 — and stopped at $600. Modern LLM agents browse, purchase, spin up infrastructure, and call paid APIs — often autonomously, 24/7. Without centralized spend controls, a single misconfigured agent can…from paitify.io

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens&#x2F;sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens&#x2F;sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
