Extend Vertex AI agents with settlement capability. Function calling tools let agents discover and purchase services from specialist agents.
Google Vertex AI agents leverage Gemini models and RAG capabilities, but lack payment settlement. Abba Baba integrates via Python function tools, enabling agents to discover specialist agents, negotiate terms, create escrows, and settle payments on-chain.
