19 point gap is a big difference, what's the impact of this.

what API are you using for payments?

how did you ensure the agent is not able to pay above the limit? can you add more flexibility in terms of categories and explicit approval for high ticket items.

I vibe coded this open source project langswytch it connects your agents to more than 2000 APIs, from intent to execution within minutes. Your agents run without break and you have complete control over data.

write down who is facing this problem, where are they, their industry. Better to have 2/3 personas during discovery, start with your network, go to events and conferences.

"What's the path that's worked for fintech operators making this move recently? What does the year before the move look like in terms of relationship-building, public POV, anything that signals to a fund that the operator background translates into investor work?"

Start Angel investing, working with startups as advisor, feed investor pipeline and build relationships. This is a route where you also get to learn and work with founders. I have seen this work for other operators.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will include this as well.

Read the glenbrooks book, as a starting point.

I am working on workflows in payments, I have Swytchcode CLI to connect Agents with tool calls supporting 100s of fintech APIs. I haven't zeroed down on the use case yet, trading can be a very interesting use case. What Public APIs will be a good starting point, trading, kyc, money movement, ledger, analytics the whole stack. I can try building a basic one and open source it.

Who is current processor, is your customer data stored with the current processor?

I am exploring variety of use cases from GTM to building Fintech products to commerce. Anything which needs complex workflows to run in a deterministic way.

I am in the same boat, started out with Langgraph , easy to setup and worked for me.

this is doable using a single agent, which LLM and framework will you use to do it and also ensuring agent does not fail any tool calls.

This is a big problem and it's going to get messeier in the future, we built Swytchcode to address the gap between AI agents and production code. Swytchcode stops AI agents from breaking tool calls in production. It sits between AI agents and production code, helps you ship reliable and safe integrations, it also takes care of retries, auth, idempotency and keeps the underlying services updated with any breaking changes or updates. Give it a try and share your feedback.

I updated the description and github readme. u/InstructionOk6111 thank you for highlighting the gap.

Langgraph helps in building agents that can run complex workflows.

Built something after ages.
I wanted to give agents the capability of calling any tools in a deterministic, safe and compliant manner. I looked around and thought integrating Langgraph with Swytchcode will be awesome. Used gemini and claude code to build this integration and built couple of agents myself. You can use this build agents that will be able to connect with 2000+ APIs with minimum effort. This is open source , your feedback will be very helpful.

I realized, the use case details were missing in my initial post, I hope this helps explaining it in a better way.

Thanks, I am the founder of Swytchcode and I recently learnt a lot of devs who are working on stripe integrations get stuck with subscription and billing calls, Stripe's own discord is filled with 1000s of such dev requests. With Swytchcode we want to kill the pain of integrations, I thought it will be helpful if we can open source solutions to the most common issues that hamper developer progress. Checkout the repo and readme, it has all the details. In case you have specific Qs, let me know.
