This is very interesting, and has close parallels to a project I am working on. I think we share an underlying premise: effective agentic AI giving will require an infrastructure layer, not just better models.
My contribution to this space is zooidfund, a live experiment that lets AI agents discover, evaluate, and donate directly to humanitarian campaigns created by individuals in need and by organizations. Donations are direct: zooidfund does not hold or intermediate funds. It is still very early, but it is live now, with real campaigns and observable agent behavior.
I think there are important problems and opportunities here for EA: improving evidence-based allocation, bringing higher-quality decision-making to the level of individual donations, and enabling faster response and iteration than traditional funding processes often allow.
More broadly, for AI, I think this kind of infrastructure could become relevant to the question of how resources are directed as AI capabilities increase. If AI systems can help identify need, evaluate evidence, and route funding more efficiently, that could become one mechanism for distributing some of the benefits of AI more broadly, including outside existing institutional funding channels.

Would be great to connect.
