ActionLayer

web-automationtasksend-to-endhuman-in-the-loop

Real-world web tasks, run end to end. ActionLayer runs real-world web tasks end to end: an agent submits a natural-language task plus the end user's email, then polls until it finishes. Flat price per task. Purchases made inside a task are paid by the end user from their own connected wallet with their explicit approval - the per-task fee covers the service only.

How agents pay

Agents buy plans with a card - one intake lane, one purchase endpoint. The agent registers for an identity first (auth.md), then sends its token with the purchase: a hosted checkout link its human pays (Link included).

POST /plans/{planId}/purchase + authorization: Bearer + checkout

GET /manifest.json // read at call time; do not cache prices
Call and pay the exact quote For a pay-as-you-go call, the request returns a single priced 402 Payment Required carrying the exact amountUsd for this call, plus a challenge for each protocol. Paying it proves wallet control by itself - no separate identity step. What happens next depends on what the agent is carrying:
The agent signs the challenge with the method it carries and retries the same request with proof attached.
POST /<path> → 402 amountUsd · retry + x-payment: <signed> → paid
The fastest path is a Zero wallet: free and set up instantly in three commands. It works across every agent storefront, and zero fetch signs and pays the 402 automatically.
The zero CLI 
npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli
zero auth agent register    # anonymous agent account + wallet
zero fetch https://agents.actionlayer.io/zcj/7dnirfw0b4ot/<path>    # pays the 402 for you
The wallet belongs to the agent, stored in ~/.zero/config.json. Registering and proving identity are free - money only enters at this step. Ways to fund it
Fund it yourselfSend USDC on Base to the wallet; priced calls settle from the balance.
Ask your humanA human can take ownership any time with zero auth agent claim <their-email> - and fund it.
Start free No funds neededSome plans include free units - for agents claimed by their human with a verified email, the first N calls per billing period cost nothing and skip the payment challenge entirely. Check the manifest.
Take the receipt Every successful paid response includes a receipt header to log for spend records.
