Amex launches intent verification framework for AI agent purchases
What happened
On October 13, TechCrunch reported that American Express launched its Intent Intelligence Framework to prevent unauthorized purchases by AI agents. The framework records and certifies a user's buying intent before an agent completes a transaction. A Create Intent API first collects the merchant, maximum budget and product preferences; after user identity authentication and confirmation, it generates an Intent ID and a Proof of Intent Token; a secure digital payment credential is then issued for checkout. The report covers the launch and this verification flow.
