AI Channels

Incentivize the AI agents that send you real revenue.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are the new top-of-funnel. ChatCast is the control panel that lets D2C operators set commission rates, launch bonus campaigns, and track every agent-driven sale. Your rules, your rates, your margin.

A new acquisition channel

Meta, Google, Email, Affiliate. Now AI Channels.

Shoppers are starting journeys in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity instead of search engines. The brands those agents recommend are the ones that expose structured catalog data and pay attributed commissions. Most brands still don’t — which is why the window to set your terms is open right now.

Machine-readable catalog that AI agents can actually parse
Policies and shipping rules an agent can quote with confidence
Per-agent attribution codes that prove the sale was agent-driven
Webhooks that fire the moment a recommendation converts
How it works

Three steps. You’re in control of all of them.

Step 01

You set the rules

Turn on ChatCast's AI-agent endpoint and set your program parameters: base commission rates per category, bonus campaigns on specific products or date windows, payout caps, agent eligibility.

Step 02

Agents recommend your products

When a shopper asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity where to buy, agents query your catalog, read your enriched product data and policies, and pitch the right SKU with a unique attribution code.

Step 03

You pay commission only on tracked sales

The agent's discount code carries their ID. When the order webhook fires, attribution is recorded and commission is queued. No flat fees. No per-query charges. Pure pay-for-performance.

The control panel

Everything you already expect from a channel manager.

Commission rates & campaigns

Set base rates per product or category. Launch time-boxed bonus campaigns (launch boosts, holiday lifts, category pushes). Adjust rates for specific agents that outperform.

Per-agent attribution codes

Every registered agent gets a unique discount code. You see exactly which AI agent drove which sale — at the order level, in your ledger, from day one.

Agent analytics

Top agents by revenue. Top products by agent query. Tool usage. Conversion rates. Know which AI agents deserve higher commissions and which ones to deprioritize.

Campaign manager

Run scheduled agent promotions the same way you run Meta campaigns: start date, end date, budget cap, audience rules. Overlay on your base rates.

Webhooks for every event

Agent registered, code redeemed, sale attributed — pipe any of it into your CRM, helpdesk, warehouse, or BI stack. Route agent-sourced customers differently from paid-sourced.

Merchant controls

Approve or block individual agents. Cap total program spend. Blacklist bad-actor agents. ChatCast handles the MCP plumbing; you own the program rules.

A channel model that respects your margin.

Pay only on tracked sales

No flat agent fees, no per-query charges, no commission on non-attributed orders. Aligned incentives with every agent that chooses to promote you.

Built on open standards

MCP is an open protocol. No lock-in for you, no gatekeeping for agents. Every MCP-compatible agent can discover your catalog the moment you turn it on.

A channel you already know how to run

If you've run an affiliate program, you already know how this works. Commission rates, campaigns, attribution, analytics — the mental model is identical. The traffic source is just new.
