Components

  • AI Agent — The LLM or app that initiates a purchase on behalf of a user.
  • Prava API / SDK — RESTful endpoints and SDK wrappers used by your app/server to interact with Prava.
  • Customer — The end user that owns funds and wallets.
  • Wallet — A secure balance container for a customer. Wallets include policies and spending caps.
  • Guardrails Engine — A validation & intent system that verifies natural-language intent, rules, and thresholds.
  • Payment Network & Merchant — The underlying card networks and merchant endpoints used to settle transactions.

​
High-Level Flow

  1. A user instructs an AI agent to buy an item.
  2. The agent sends a purchase intent to your backend.
  3. Your backend calls Prava APIs (create customer → create wallet → validate intent → create payment).
  4. Prava applies guardrails, tokenizes the payment, routes it through the networks, and returns the status.
  5. Your app displays a confirmation to the user and persists the transaction data.
