Whop Introduces Economic Intelligence For Businesses To Earn Money Faster With One Click

New intelligence layer uses a proprietary decision making system to recommend and direct execution of the most optimal path to the next dollar

NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Whop, the company building the first end-to-end API for running a business, today introduced Economic Intelligence, an intelligence layer that uses context from millions of transactions on the platform to recommend and drive the next action an individual operator can take to grow. By answering ‘what’s next’ for each individual business, the path to the next optimal dollar is fast and clear.

Recommended actions appear as buttons in the Whop dashboard. With a single click, Economic Intelligence creates a complex prompt to be sent to Whop AI or the operator’s preferred agent. The front end makes the action simple, while Whop’s API connects the agent to the business functions needed to complete it. The system curates recommendations by noting an operator’s current business status and suggests a specific action based on pattern-matching data from the platform’s $6.6B in annual commerce. Recommendations can include changing a product’s price, launching an ad campaign, building a website, creating a recurring weekly customer message, improving a sales funnel, or retargeting customers to reduce churn.

“Every business owner wants to make money in a fast and easy way,” said Ishan Garg, Head of Engineering at Whop. “With Economic Intelligence, we’re making it easier to do just that by coding in suggestions on how to do the next logical thing for a business. We can marry agentic actions with Whop’s data to unlock more value for people building businesses.”

Economic Intelligence is designed as a reinforcing learning system and decision-making model that outputs an economic action rather than text. Whop’s Economic Intelligence can evaluate whether a recommended action led to revenue through ledger activity, providing a verifiable signal of money earned or not earned. That feedback can help the system learn which actions work for different businesses and deliver stronger recommendations over time.

In beta testing, more than fourteen thousand businesses tried the new product. On average, the businesses experienced notable sales growth when using Economic Intelligence for one month, compared to the month prior without the use of Economic Intelligence: combined sales grew 31.8%, unique paying customers grew 26.3%, and transaction count grew 26.5%.

Whop’s mission is to deliver everyone a sustainable income. Economic Intelligence extends the ways businesses can build their ventures and earn more, faster on Whop. It adds to the end-to-end API platform’s existing offerings, including Whop CLI and MCP, Whop Cards, recent  integrations with SpaceXAI and more. Looking ahead, Whop plans to expand the actions available through Economic Intelligence, bringing more of the work required to run and grow a business into a single click.

Kong Unveils Roadmap Aimed at Solving Enterprise AI Governance Challenges

Published

New capabilities will help enterprises build and operate AI with greater control, flexibility and visibility

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kong Inc., the AI Connectivity Company, today at API + AI Summit, unveiled its roadmap for Kong Konnect, The AI Connectivity Platform, to help enterprises build, connect and govern AI applications, agents and models across increasingly complex technology environments.

The challenge enterprises are facing today goes beyond just building an agent that can reason or call a model, they need the ability to connect that agent to everything it needs to operate reliably in the real world. Every agent has a connectivity journey: it needs to be invoked, access the right tools, data and intelligence, get the right credentials, and be governed, observed and managed from end to end.

Kong’s roadmap spans that journey, bringing solutions for each part of it under one platform and one governance model, with strategic portability that lets enterprises evolve their models, infrastructure, and deployment environments without rebuilding their governance layer.

“We believe enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between innovation and control, or between flexibility and governance,” said Augusto Marietti, CEO and co-founder, Kong Inc. “Whether you’re running it on-premises, at the edge, or in your data platform, or choosing between proprietary models or open-weight models, enterprises need flexibility without compromising on consistent governance. Kong is helping to enable that strategic portability for customers while also providing the AI control tower.”

A Roadmap Built for AI Connectivity

Kong’s roadmap is designed around a simple premise: enterprises should not have to sacrifice flexibility in where or how they build in order to maintain governance and control. Upcoming solutions include:

Webhook Engine: Aimed at making event-driven integration simple and cost-effective, with reliable event delivery to any destination, from SaaS platforms and partner systems to applications and AI agents.Registry & Catalog: Provides an AI management layer for agents and MCP assets, alongside a broader catalog experience for humans, giving organizations a unified way to discover and manage the components powering their AI environments.Token Vault: Securely broker downstream credentials on behalf of AI agents, enabling them to access authorized APIs, MCP servers, models, data and other enterprise resources without exposing downstream credentials directly to the agent.Context Mesh: Connects AI agents to enterprise tools and APIs at scale, dynamically discovering and providing the capabilities they need for each task while keeping context focused and efficient.AI Cost Management in AI Gateway: Helps organizations understand and control the cost of AI by showing not only how much they are spending, but where that spend originates and who or what is driving it, giving teams the visibility to optimize AI investments.Advanced AI Observability: Gives teams visibility across the interactions that make up an AI conversation, making it easier to understand, troubleshoot and optimize increasingly complex generative and agentic AI applications.

Together, these capabilities represent Kong’s vision for a more unified journey through enterprise AI, replacing fragmented tooling and disconnected workflows with self-service, well-defined pathways for building and operating agentic applications.
