Inside Stripe's AI Strategy with Will Gaybrick

Stripe's President of Product & Business, Will Gaybrick, discusses how AI is transforming Stripe from a payments company into a multi-product financial infrastructure platform. He highlights AI's role in boosting product development velocity through internal tools like "Stripe Minions," which generate thousands of pull requests weekly, enabling a "build everything" philosophy rather than cost-cutting. The conversation also explores the future of "agentic commerce," the potential return of micropayments enabled by stablecoins, and how Stripe empowers internal "founder-like agency" while maintaining high product quality in an increasingly AI-driven software landscape.
