Getting Started with Agents

AI agents can scaffold a Stripe integration faster than you might expect, but they need a safe place to work. In this session, Nilofer walks through why an agent can sometimes reach for an older API version, and how Stripe is helping by providing test environments and steering guidance from the start. She explains the new sandbox API and CLI command that let any agent provision a Stripe sandbox with just one command, returning API keys and a claim link so you can go live when ready. You'll also see how flexible permissions and approval rules keep real money safe, and what an agent is surprisingly good at today. 00:00 Why agents reach for older API versions 01:43 Agents versus traditional coding: where speed and human loops matter 02:55 The sandbox API for guided test environments 04:24 Trying the new sandbox CLI command with any agent 05:38 Fixing mistakes and iterating inside the sandbox 06:40 Keeping real account money safe with permissions and approvals 08:40 What agents are surprisingly good at today 10:06 An agent testing loop and the future of building with Stripe
