Lunos: Agents for the $100T B2B Payments Mess (Duncan Barrigan)
Duncan Barrigan, founder and CEO of Lunos, pitches an agent-to-agent network for the $100-trillion-a-year B2B payments market, which still runs on emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, missing contact details and wrong invoices. His epiphany: it's a communication and negotiation problem done by humans for 6,000 years, so agents should do it the same way. The product is a "co-worker, not a co-pilot," with an autonomy dial you turn up gradually like onboarding a new hire.

Duncan Barrigan (Lunos): Agents for B2B Payments
Duncan Barrigan, a fintech veteran and former GoCardless executive, introduces Lunos, an agent-to-agent network for B2B payments. He frames the $100 trillion B2B payments market as a 6,000-year-old communication and negotiation problem rather than a payments problem, full of invoice threads and informal timing norms. He explains agents need both consolidated data and flexible multi-party judgment, and likens adoption to driverless cars: autonomy as a dial, not a switch, working alongside humans.
