WeChat Pay is conducting internal testing of its AI Payment feature, enabling the Intelligent Entity to place orders autonomously and confirm each transaction with the AI-exclusive card.
Per monitoring from Dongcha Beating (a channel linked at t.me/OneMillion_AI), WeChat Pay is partnering with AI entity WorkBuddy to test a new AI payment feature. The trial adds an AI-exclusive card to users’ WeChat Balances, letting the AI place orders independently—with every transaction requiring user approval for security. This early internal test at Tencent marks the first time an AI entity can access dedicated funds on a third-party payment platform, with transaction-level user confirmation required.
In the AI-exclusive card interface within WeChat Balance, users can transfer funds to or from the card directly from their main WeChat Balance. The card’s spending limit is strictly tied to its balance. To bind it, users must explicitly authorize a specific AI entity; WeChat Pay’s binding screen clarifies this card is for that AI’s exclusive use. Even after activation, the AI still needs the user’s confirmation to process payments.
