Mandat — an agent you can hand a budget to
We delegate to people we trust with a mission, a budget and a few rules. Assistants still wait for us at every payment. With Mandat you sign one mandate; the agent plans, negotiates, books and pays inside it.
What I built
• A PayPal mandate, three autonomy levels, daily and monthly limits, and a Stop switch
• Money rules enforced in code: each deposit is checked against the budget before PayPal is called
• Deposits held, not charged: captured on confirmation, voided or refunded when plans change
• One product, three integrations: a PayPal web app, an NVIDIA Nemotron version and an Alexa+ add-on
Result
• Real PayPal sandbox payments (Vault, Orders, Payments, Agent Toolkit); no real money moves
• Nemotron on Nebius Token Factory: a filmed run with 6 deposits held, then captured
• Alexa+: MCP server on AWS Lambda, MCP Apps cards, OAuth 2.1 account linking, 3 languages, 144 automated tests
• Open source (MIT)
My role: Product design, UX/UI, agent design, front-end, back-end, payments, demo films
Stack: Node.js, PayPal Server SDK, NVIDIA Nemotron, Nebius Token Factory, MCP, Strands Agents, Amazon Bedrock, AWS Lambda, Render
