AI Agent Wallets for Research

Enable research AI agents to autonomously purchase datasets, API access, compute time, and research tools with budget tracking, approval workflows, and cost center allocation.

The Challenge: Research AI Needs Data & Compute

Research AI agents need to autonomously purchase datasets, API access, compute time, and research tools. Traditional payment systems lack budget tracking, cost center allocation, and approval workflows required for research operations.

Research agents need to purchase data in real-time

Budget tracking and cost center allocation are critical

Approval workflows for large purchases are required

Integration with research platforms is complex

Multi-project budget management is needed

Chimoney's Research AI Solution

Chimoney provides budget-controlled AI agent wallets with project-based limits, cost center allocation, and approval workflows. Your research AI agents can autonomously acquire data and compute while staying within budget.

Budget Tracking

Set per-project budgets, cost center allocation, and spending limits with real-time tracking.

Approval Workflows

Automatic approval workflows for purchases above threshold amounts.

Multi-Project Management

Manage budgets across multiple research projects with centralized reporting.

Global Payment Support

Pay for datasets, APIs, and compute globally via bank transfers, stablecoins, or Interledger.

Use Cases for Research & Data Science

Data Acquisition Automation

Research AI agents autonomously purchase datasets, API access, and data feeds with budget controls.

Policy Example:

Per-project budgets, departmental approval workflows

View Code Example
// Create research AI agent wallet
const response = await fetch('https://api.chimoney.io/v0.2.4/agents/create', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-API-KEY': 'your-api-key'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: "Research Agent #1",
    description: "AI agent for purchasing research datasets",
    limits: {
      USD: {
        maxPerTx: 20,
        dailyCap: 100
      }
    },
    meta: {
      agentType: "research",
      owner: "researcher@university.edu",
      project: "climate-research-2025"
    }
  })
});

const { data: agent } = await response.json();

// Agent purchases dataset
const paymentResponse = await fetch('https://api.chimoney.io/v0.2/payouts/initiate-chimoney', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'X-API-KEY': 'your-api-key'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    subAccount: agent.uid,
    chimoneys: [{
      email: "data@provider.com",
      valueInUSD: 15,
      meta: {
        memo: "Climate dataset purchase - Project: climate-research-2025"
      }
    }]
  })
});

const payment = await paymentResponse.json();

Compute Time Purchases

AI agents purchase cloud compute time, GPU access, and processing resources autonomously.

Policy Example:

Per-project limits, cost center allocation

API Access Subscriptions

Research agents subscribe to APIs, data feeds, and research tools with budget tracking.

Policy Example:

Monthly budget limits, approval for new subscriptions

Collaborative Research Payments

Multi-agent research systems where agents pay each other for specialized analysis and data processing.

Policy Example:

Agent-to-agent payments, inter-project transfers
