# Suede Agent Studio > An AI workforce that runs your business and gets paid: a visual builder > where agents qualify leads, chase invoices, file reports, and handle > routine work around the clock, wired on a canvas or described in a > sentence. Every launched flow becomes a pay-per-call x402 endpoint > (USDC on Base), with music/media generation, IP-registry writes, and > royalty-split nodes for the creative vertical. Dry-run is free and > needs no wallet or API key.
