We made this video to answer a simple question: how can someone get paid when an AI assistant needs something they’ve created?
It follows Maya, who sells foot-traffic reports, and an AI assistant helping someone choose where to open a bakery. The assistant needs her report. Lightning Enable handles paid access to her existing online service.
The same idea can apply to research, playbooks, images, specialist data, or other useful content you own and deliver online.
There’s a behind-the-scenes story here too. AI agents helped produce the storyboard, animation, captions, and mobile versions. We directed the work, reviewed drafts, and refined the explanation. For the narration, our agent used Lightning Enable to pay Sats4AI 68 satoshis over L402—no new account, credit card, or subscription.
A video explaining agents buying useful services ended up using that very process.
If you have useful information or a service you’d like to monetize, I can help you work out what to offer and how to make it accessible to AI buyers.
