Amex publishes intent framework to vet purchases made by AI agents
American Express published an Intent Intelligence framework inside its Agentic Commerce Experiences developer kit, designed to capture and authenticate a card member’s purchase intent before an AI agent completes a transaction. The flow creates an Intent ID and a Proof of Intent token carrying the customer’s constraints, such as merchant and maximum budget, then issues a payment credential the agent uses instead of the card number. Amex paired the launch with Amex Agent Purchase Protection.
