I have long legs, so I made some changes to my direction options in google maps. Shoutout @soren_iverson for the inspiration.
Finally, I can close my 40 shopping tabs down to just one. Congrats @DhruvBhalla_ and team on yet another killer launch.

One of the best parts of Stripe is working with the world's most interesting businesses. Taking advantage of this, we're launching a podcast where we host founders and leaders for a cheeky pint in our hastily-constructed office pub. Coming soon: episodes with @gdb, Meta’s Susan…
I keep telling people they are sleeping on the NYC Sanitation Twitter and people look at me like I’m crazy.
Happy Monday, NYC! Are you locked in and ready for the week? Compost that banana peel and recycle the bottles!
It's been a long time since developer documentation made me chuckle
We've published a directory of apps and tools that connect to Claude with one click. Browse and connect Claude to @canva, @figma, @linear, @NotionHQ, @stripe, and more.
Had fun talking about all things AI at @stripe with @mattturck - agentic commerce, our new foundation model, and how we're boosting users’ revenue. youtube.com/watch?v=nvwglW…
Courtesy of @patrickc: "I asked Amjad how many billing and payments engineers they need to support $100M+ of ARR. Apparently one guy helps out part-time."
.@Replit’s ARR since founding The space is … beyond on fire No one is going to code without AI again
Platforms using @Stripe Connect can now offer stablecoin payments to their users! This means businesses can: 🌎 reach more markets 💰 at lower cost First out of the gate is @shopify, enabling millions of their merchants to accept payments in USDC!

I'm not surprised that agentic commerce is taking off, but I am surprised that it's happening so quickly. (Reach out to us if you have a use-case.)

Perplexity is reimagining hotel discovery — more like having a personal concierge. You can ask detailed, complex queries, and get tailored hotel recommendations in seconds. What once took over 30 minutes and required juggling multiple tabs and sites now happens with a single…
The OpenAI Responses API now supports MCP! With just a few lines of code you can connect OpenAI models to any remote MCP server. More to come.

Agents are the new users that can pay you. Stripe is quietly unlocking a new business model for tool developers. What if every time an AI assistant called your tool, you got paid? Developers can expose their services as monetizeable MCP servers that AI agents can understand…
It's probably more like 0.5, the rest of my time I'm working on analytics and security features for our enterprise customers. Huge shoutout to the @stripe team for making it possible 🙇♂️
Besides enabling rapid growth, we want @stripe to be powerful and complete enough that headcount scaling is extremely efficient. Cursor is a good example. Now at $300M, with a grand total of two people working on finance + payments.
It’s that easy. Super fun watch.
freakin crazy!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I remember it took me 2 weeks to implement @stripe for my photo app @EricSimons just did it in 5mins with @boltdotnew live on stream 👇
What's more fun than building ai agents + MCP servers that browse the internet, buy & sell things, and handle payments? Doing it with ✨friends✨ Excited to host an after hours meetup next week in SF w/ @pk_iv @MbyM @jeff_weinstein @ditzikow Space limited; sign up below!
Midjourney sold to the largest number of unique countries of any merchant on Stripe in 2024! Stripe celebrated by sending us this beautiful CRT screen with a retro animated map of our subscriptions around the world. Thanks @stripe! We couldn't have done it without you <3
I’m fully convinced that the NQRW stop at Canal street is pulling some Platform 9 and three-quarters Harry Potter nonsense I have been living here for 6 years and I ALWAYS get the uptown and downtown entrances wrong.
