An AI coding agent can now buy coffee pods, and run its own ads

Replit's coding agent has been given a wallet. Through Link and Visa it can buy things for a business, and one example given is office coffee pods under $35, with the user approving each purchase first. Replit also says the agent can run Google Ads to find customers. So software built to write code is now shopping for the office and advertising for the company. The approval step is the notable detail: for now, a human still has to say yes to the coffee.
