ActionLayer × ZeroClick: real-world tasks any agent can buy

Most AI agents can research a task, plan it, and tell you exactly how it should be done. ActionLayer built the missing piece: an API that actually gets it done. Today we're announcing a partnership with ActionLayer that puts real-world execution one paid call away from any AI agent - no signup, no API key, and no human in the loop unless you want one there.

The concierge for AI agents

ActionLayer describes itself as the concierge for AI agents, and the description fits. Hand it a goal - book, order, register, resolve - and it takes action in the real world until the job is done, within budgets and guardrails you set. Behind that simple surface is an asynchronous task API: an agent submits a job, checks on its progress, answers clarifying questions if the task needs more detail, and collects the result when the work is complete.

A Claude session adds ActionLayer as a custom connector, then asks it to order an HDMI cable - the agent answers a couple of clarifying questions and ActionLayer takes the task from there.

That design matters. Plenty of tools give agents information. ActionLayer gives them outcomes - the reservation is booked, the order is placed, the registration is filed. It's the layer that turns "here's what you should do" into "it's done."

What the partnership does

Agents can now purchase tasks directly from ActionLayer via their new agent storefront, which is powered by ZeroClick. ZeroClick turns any API or offering into an agent-purchasable service, with x402 and MPP support, a machine-readable storefront, and transaction-level analytics on every sale. For ActionLayer, that means an agent can discover the service at agents.actionlayer.io, review the product specs and pricing as JSON, pay over x402 or MPP, and put a task in motion - all in one exchange. Revenue lands directly in ActionLayer's Stripe account.

Discovery is the other half. ZeroClick registers ActionLayer’s agent storefront on major agent indexes - Coinbase's agentic.market, x402scan, mppscan, and zero.xyz - so ActionLayer shows up anywhere agents search.

And the whole thing moved quickly. It was a matter of days between our first call with ActionLayer and a live agent storefront with real agent purchases. ActionLayer shipped its side of the integration in about a day.

"We went from a demo call to selling tasks to AI agents in under a week. Our side of the integration took a day."

- Jose Antonio Rey

Agents buying from agents

Here's what makes this partnership interesting: ActionLayer's customers were always going to be agents. Most companies selling to agents today are adapting a product built for humans. ActionLayer started agent-first - the API was designed for autonomous callers from day one. What it needed was a way for an unknown agent to show up with a job and a wallet and be treated as a customer.

That's now the whole flow. An agent halfway through a job can hand off the part it can't do itself - the booking, the order, the registration - pay for it in the same breath, and keep working. No account creation mid-run. No stopping to ask a human for a key. Delegation and payment in one reasoning cycle, with ActionLayer's budgets and guardrails keeping a human in control of what gets spent.

Shared philosophy

ActionLayer completes the action. ZeroClick completes the transaction. Both companies start from the same belief: an agent should be able to finish the job it was given. That takes real-world execution on one side and real commerce on the other - identity, payment, pricing, accountability. Budgets and guardrails on ActionLayer's side, agent identity and transaction-level analytics on ours. Autonomy, with receipts.
