MindStudio and TollBit Transform AI Agent Development, Enabling Direct Payments to Websites for Reliable Content Access
MindStudio provides AI agent builders seamless sourcing and payment for original content from TollBit partner websites
NEW YORK - (April 21, 2025) – MindStudio, a leading no-code AI agent builder platform, today announced a partnership with TollBit that will allow AI agent builders to scalably pay websites directly for content and data, ensuring more reliable and secure access to online resources. As websites increasingly implement measures to block or limit AI scrapers and bots, this partnership offers a seamless solution to agent builders who rely on consistent and current data to power their AI agents.
Today’s announcement offers a glimpse into the future of AI content and data access as autonomous agents create new demand streams beyond search and chat bots. Specialized-AI agents are already scraping information from websites, but they are often inefficient and use ethically and legally dubious practices to obtain data. MindStudio’s collaboration with TollBit gives AI agent builders the option to more efficiently and ethically collect content from hundreds of TollBit’s partner websites instead of using a scraping tool when selecting data sources for their AI agents.
MindStudio allows users to mix and match the latest models from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta to build customized AI agents. To date, over 150,000 AI agents have been deployed with MindStudio by organizations such as His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, ServiceNow, and Advance Local. With this new partnership, those agents can gain access to many of the hundreds of publishing partners without scraping in TollBit’s fluid payment system, including Penske Media Corporation, TIME, and ADWEEK.
"We're excited to join forces with TollBit in enabling AI agents to access deep sources of data dramatically more reliably and ethically than web scraping", said Sean Thielen, Co-Founder and CTO of MindStudio.
"This new partnership is a win-win for content creators and AI agents,” said Toshit Panigrahi, CEO of TollBit. “It’s a win for content creators and data providers who will be able to instantly and seamlessly monetize the millions of AI agents that feed off their content every day. And as cybersecurity measures increase across the web making it harder for AI agents to web scrape, it’s a win for AI agents developed with MindStudio, as they will have reliable, legal access to the data they need. Our collaboration lays the groundwork for a more sustainable web ecosystem.”
