## Introduction: The Problem with Static Papers You find a promising research paper. It describes a perfect method for your project. But then comes the reality: wrestling with complex codebases, dependency nightmares, and cryptic documentation. The excitement fades, replaced by frustration. This is the central bottleneck in modern science. Research papers are passive artifacts. They describe discoveries but require immense effort to use. The knowledge is trapped behind technical barriers. What if the paper could actively help you? What if you could simply ask it a question in plain English? Enter Paper2Agent, a groundbreaking framework from Stanford University that reimagines …

Introduction The rapid growth of artificial intelligence has introduced a new era where AI agents can perform complex tasks on our behalf, including making purchases and completing transactions. While this capability offers tremendous convenience, it also creates significant challenges for traditional payment systems that were designed with human operators in mind. Today’s payment infrastructure assumes that a human is directly clicking “buy” on a trusted interface, but when autonomous agents initiate payments, this fundamental assumption breaks down. The Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) emerges as a solution to this critical challenge. Developed through collaboration between Google and over 60 leading payments …
