"Will outnumber human employees"…Coinbase pilots in-house AI agents

Coinbase is piloting AI agents for Slack and email, expanding automation across internal operations.

It has also deployed custom agents modeled on former executives, tying AI more closely to organizational decisions and day-to-day work.

The company is linking AI with payment infrastructure such as x402, moving beyond assistant tools toward core business systems.

The experiment highlights how crypto firms may evolve into AI-native organizations and accelerate agent-based automation.
