The financial infrastructure for the Agentic Economy.
Kelviq powers the AI agents spending autonomously. We handle transactions, metering, and global tax so every action is priced and paid correctly.
The infrastructure is stuck in the human era
To launch an agent product, teams stitch together five systems: a meter, a billing system, a database, a spreadsheet, and tax software.
These systems don't sync. Usage happens, but payment does not. Agents rack up costs before limits kick in.
Agent usage
The financial backbone for autonomous compute
Kelviq sits between agents and the resources they consume. We enforce payment in real-time so usage never becomes loss.
We make autonomous spending possible by solving what human-era billing couldn't: compute that pays for itself, instantly, without human approval.
One call before compute
Ingest events from any service. Authorize every agent request. Usage is recorded to one ledger.
import { kelviq } from '@kelviq/node-sdk';
export async function handleAgentRequest(req, res) {
const userId = req.headers["x-user-id"];
// Use the same consistent method as your other backend checks.
// This verifies credits and permissions in a single round-trip.
const { granted, message } = await kelviq.hasAccess({
userId,
featureId: "agent_call",
consume: 1
});
if (!granted) {
// Return a 402 Payment Required or custom message from your dashboard
return res.status(402).send(message || "Payment required");
}
// Run your AI model or expensive computation
const result = await runAIAgent(req);
// Record high-fidelity usage metadata to your Kelviq ledger
await kelviq.reportUsage('agent_call', {
userId,
value: 1,
metadata: {
latency_ms: result.latency_ms,
model: "gpt-4.5"
}
});
return res.json(result);
}
Why the shift is happening now
Every API call has a cost. A billing bug means real cash loss because you still owe the provider for compute.
Compute was cheap, so you could monetize later. A billing bug meant lost revenue, but no hard cost.
AI infrastructure companies where usage = cost
If your customers control autonomous agents that could 100x usage overnight, you need real-time authorization.
Built for autonomous compute, not human subscriptions
Built for human checkout flows
Hourly batch processing
Usage syncs every hour. Can't prevent overspending in real-time.
5 systems to stitch
Meter + Billing + Database + Spreadsheet + Tax. Systems desync.
Card-based limits
Customer can overdraw until card declines. You absorb loss.
Manual reconciliation
Founders spend days in spreadsheets matching usage to revenue.
Built for machine-to-machine commerce
100ms authorization
Check balance before every request. Prevent loss in real-time.
One system of truth
One ledger. Usage and payment always in sync. Zero mismatches.
Pre-funded credits
Customers pre-pay. Can't overdraw. You never absorb losses.
Automatic reconciliation
Revenue = Usage by design. No spreadsheets. No manual matching.
