01
What this pilot is
A user asks AGI to buy or upgrade something. AGI completes the flow through an affiliate link. If it converts, we earn revenue.
overview
The short version of the affiliate pilot: what it is, why it matters, and what it takes to make it real.
02
Why this matters
This is more than sending traffic. AGI can finish the task, which means the product outcome and business outcome can happen together.
03
What we are really testing
Trust, attribution, and follow-through. Can AGI open the right tracked path, finish the flow, and know when the job is actually done?
01
Coffee Bros
Probably the cleanest starting point. Repeat purchase, low friction, easy to measure.

02
Vans
Useful for testing product choice, size, and variant selection in a normal commerce flow.

03
Wine Express
Interesting recommendation and purchase case, but comes with more policy sensitivity.

04
eSIMX
The most important post-purchase test. Buying is not enough. The eSIM needs to actually work.

05
Shuteye
A frontier case for in-app upgrade flow automation inside a third-party app.

01
The agent loop already exists
AGI already knows how to run multi-step tasks from chat, take device actions, and keep a session alive.
02
Human handoff already exists
The product already pauses for confirmation, login help, and other moments where user control matters.
03
Core device actions already exist
Tap, type, scroll, wait, launch apps, and navigate. The foundations are already in place.
01
Add tracked link opening
We need a clean first-class way to open affiliate URLs and deep links so attribution is preserved.
02
Create one merchant catalog
Brand, network, link, eligibility, and success rules should live in one routing layer.
03
Log affiliate context
Every run should clearly tell us which merchant was used and whether the conversion really happened.
04
Define pause points
We should be explicit about where AGI stops and asks the user, especially around payment and subscription flows.
01
Coffee Bros
User says “order my usual coffee beans.” AGI opens the tracked path, buys it, and we measure the conversion.
02
eSIMX
User says “get me a Japan eSIM.” AGI buys it, helps install it, and success only counts if it activates.
03
Shuteye
User says “upgrade Shuteye for me.” AGI reaches the paywall, completes the flow, and verifies premium is unlocked.
01
Phase 1
Whitelist brands, add tracked link opening, log conversions, and start with the easiest flows first.
02
Phase 2
Add merchant-specific success rules, activation checks, entitlement checks, and more networks.
01
Conversion rate
Did the affiliate network credit the conversion to us?
02
Interruption rate
How often did AGI need the user to step in?
03
Qualified success
Did AGI finish the real job, not just the checkout?
04
Readable failures
When things fail, do we know why?
01
Pick the first brands
Do we start with the easier commerce flows first, or include one frontier case immediately?
02
Agree on trust boundaries
Where exactly should AGI stop and ask the user?
03
Define success clearly
Is success a checkout, an activation, or something more brand-specific?
