What AIsa does

AIsa (legal entity AIPay Inc., dba AIsa, with a Singapore affiliate AIPAY GLOBAL PTE. LTD) is a San Francisco-based infrastructure company founded in 2025 that provides a unified capability layer for the AI agentic economy. Its core technology is a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint (https://api.aisa.one/v1) that exposes 50+ LLMs from nine model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Alibaba/Qwen, Moonshot/Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, and ByteDance/Seedream) alongside 100+ data APIs spanning Apollo, DataForSEO, Tavily, Perplexity, Polymarket, Kalshi, CoinGecko, AgentMail, YouTube SERP, Reddit, Instagram, Pinterest, Scholar, and a public-market Financial Data API. The platform packages these capabilities into 41 composable "Skills" — instruction bundles with SKILL.md files that teach AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes Agent) how to authenticate and call AIsa APIs. The fourth product pillar is a Machine-to-Machine nanopayment layer (private beta) that lets autonomous agents settle per-call transactions through Circle Nanopayments (USDC) and the Machine Payments Protocol using HTTP 402-style flows, and a Foundry hosted-agent deployment product is listed as Coming Soon.

AIsa's business model is usage-based per-call billing with no required subscriptions. Developers and agents fund an AIsa Wallet with fiat or USDC through console.aisa.one, receive a $2 free credit on signup, and consume credits via a single AISA_API_KEY. The company sells essentially nothing through traditional sales: distribution is API-first and self-serve, with go-to-market amplified by documentation, blog, Discord, GitHub, X, and event sponsorships (ETHDenver 2026, Circle/Google's "Agentic Economy on Arc" hackathon). Customer segments are horizontal: AI developers and autonomous AI agents are primary use cases, with sales/marketing and financial-analyst workflows as secondary segments. The company has raised $6M total across a $1M Seed (Draper-led, July 2025) and a $5M Round 1 (Alibaba, Tribe Capital, Draper, Sumitomo, Saison Capital, May 2026), holds no patents, and discloses no revenue or named enterprise customers.

Revenue model

1. Usage-Based API Billing: AIsa charges per API call based on token usage for LLM inference and per-request fees for data APIs. Users fund an AIsa Wallet with fiat or USDC, and credits are consumed per-call. No subscriptions required - pay only for what each agent consumes. This is the primary revenue stream.
2. Credit System: Users purchase credits (Usage Credits) through the AIsa Dashboard. Credits are non-refundable and expire one calendar year from purchase. Promotional credits may be offered during sign-up. This creates prepaid revenue and predictable usage-based consumption.
3. Crypto-Native Settlement via Nanopayments: For machine-payment workflows, AIsa supports USDC settlement through Circle Nanopayments and x402-style HTTP 402 payment flows. This enables direct agent-to-agent payment without traditional billing infrastructure.

Core offering

AIsa operates a unified capability layer for the AI agentic economy, providing a single OpenAI-compatible API endpoint that grants access to 50+ large language models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot, and xAI, along with 100+ data APIs and a catalog of 41 composable agent Skills. The platform also embeds machine-to-machine nanopayment infrastructure via Circle Nanopayments (USDC) and the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) using HTTP 402-style flows, enabling autonomous AI agents to discover, pay for, and consume services without human intervention.

Product overview

AIsa is a unified capability layer for the AI agentic economy, offering a platform architecture with four core product pillars: (1) Model Gateway - the unified API gateway connecting to 50+ LLMs from 9 providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Alibaba, Moonshot, MiniMax, GLM, ByteDance, xAI); (2) Skills - a catalog of 41 composable agent capability packs for data, search, social media, creative AI, and marketing workflows; (3) Machine-to-Machine - autonomous nanopayment infrastructure via Circle Nanopayments and Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) for agent-to-agent transactions using HTTP 402-style flows; and (4) Agent Discovery - machine-readable APIs (A2A, MCP, OpenAPI 3.1, llms.txt) enabling autonomous agent-to-agent integration. Additional components include Foundry (cloud-hosted agent deployment - Coming Soon), Model Playground (browser testing), and API Key Dashboard. The platform targets AI developers building autonomous agents that need unified access to models, data APIs, skills, and programmable payment settlement.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered flagship and core.

• Circle (Hackathon Partnership)flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 23 April 2026Circle selected AIsa as official technology partner for the 'Agentic Economy on Arc' hackathon. AIsa provides the data layer with 100+ API endpoints accessible to hackathon participants paid per call in USDC. This is a flagship partnership demonstrating AIsa's role in the emerging agentic commerce ecosystem.
• CirclecoreTechnology or IntegrationCircle provides the Nanopayments infrastructure enabling AIsa's machine-to-machine payment capabilities. Circle's USDC-based nanopayment system allows AI agents to pay for API calls with micro-transactions as small as $0.000001 without gas fees. Circle selected AIsa as official technology partner for 'Agentic Economy on Arc' hackathon.
• x402coreTechnology or Integrationx402 is the native on-chain payment standard referenced by AIsa for machine payments. AIsa uses x402 and HTTP 402-style flows as a payment handshake for agents. x402 enables agents to receive payment instructions, settle charges, and retry requests with proof of payment.

Broad incumbents

• Cloudflare AI Gateway: Cloudflare's AI Gateway offers unified LLM access with caching, analytics, and rate-limiting at the edge. As an incumbent infrastructure player, it competes with AIsa for developer mindshare while bundling AI gateway functionality into a much broader edge and developer platform.
• Fireworks AI: Fireworks AI provides fast inference APIs for open and proprietary models with optimized serving and fine-tuning. It competes with AIsa's Model Gateway for performance-sensitive and cost-sensitive AI application developers.
• Together AI: Together AI provides an AI cloud platform for inference, fine-tuning, and training of open and proprietary models. While focused on its own hosted models, it competes with AIsa for developers building agentic and multi-model workflows.
• AWS Bedrock: AWS Bedrock offers managed access to multiple foundation models through a single API with enterprise-grade security and billing. It competes with AIsa for enterprise agentic workloads, with deep incumbency advantages in regulated and large-customer segments.

Direct peers

• OpenRouter: OpenRouter is the most direct competitor to AIsa's Model Gateway, offering a unified API across dozens of LLMs with pay-per-use pricing and per-request model selection. Both target developers building AI applications that need multi-provider access through one endpoint.
• LiteLLM: LiteLLM is an open-source LLM proxy and gateway that routes across 100+ model providers with caching, fallbacks, and budget controls. It overlaps directly with AIsa's Model Gateway and is widely adopted by developer teams building multi-model applications.
• Replicate: Replicate runs a cloud API for thousands of open-source and proprietary AI models with per-second billing. It overlaps with AIsa's Model Gateway in providing multi-model access and competes for the same developer persona building AI-powered applications.
• Portkey: Portkey provides an AI gateway with routing, observability, fallbacks, and prompt management across LLMs. It competes head-on with AIsa's unified gateway proposition for developer and enterprise teams orchestrating multi-model applications.

Emerging players

• Helicone: Helicone is an observability and routing layer for LLM applications offering logging, caching, and routing across providers. It competes with AIsa on the gateway-and-observability wedge for AI developers.
• LangChain: LangChain provides a framework and platform for building LLM-powered applications and agents, with model routing and tool integration primitives. It overlaps with AIsa at the agent-framework and integration layer, especially for developers building autonomous agents.
