What Your Agent Can Do

Everything you'd hire an affiliate manager to do

Every API endpoint and CLI command is available to your agent — from reading data to managing every setting of your program.

Approve & Onboard Affiliates

Your agent reviews incoming applications, checks domain authority and audience fit, approves qualified affiliates, and sends personalized welcome messages.

Optimize Commission Rates

Your agent spots which affiliates deserve higher rates — and which ones aren't earning theirs. It adjusts commissions based on real conversion data.

Process Payouts

Review pending payouts, flag anomalies, and process payments to your top performers. The agent handles the routine — you approve the final batch.

Monitor Fraud & Quality

Continuously check click patterns, conversion rates, and referral quality. Detect suspicious activity before it costs you money.

Configure Program Settings

Change any setting in your program — tracking, fraud rules, notifications, portal — without opening the dashboard.

Generate Performance Reports

Pull affiliate performance, revenue attribution, and commission data. Your agent creates weekly reports, highlights trends, and flags underperformers.

Manage Coupon Campaigns

Create, assign, and track promotional codes per affiliate. Let your agent test different discount strategies and measure which converts best.

Scale Your Recruitment

Browse the marketplace, identify high-potential affiliates, and send outreach. Your agent builds your partner network while you sleep.

Why AI Agents

Stop managing affiliates manually

You didn't start a business to spend hours reviewing applications and chasing payouts. Hand the operational work to an agent and focus on strategy.

24/7 Operations

Your agent reviews applications at midnight, catches fraud on weekends, and sends you Monday's report before you wake up.

Full API Access

Every endpoint at api.affonso.io/v1 is available. Affiliates, referrals, commissions, payouts, coupons, program settings — everything.

Human-in-the-Loop

You decide what runs autonomously and what needs approval. Sensitive actions like payouts and account changes stay under your control.

Works While You Scale

Whether you have 10 affiliates or 10,000, your agent handles the same workload without extra cost or headcount.

Claude Code

Ask Claude to run your affiliate program

Tell Claude what you need in plain English. It uses the Affonso CLI to pull data, approve affiliates, adjust commissions, and configure your program — then reports back.

  • Install the Affonso skill via ClawHub and Claude gets instant access to every command
  • Natural language requests become API calls — "approve all pending affiliates with DA above 40"
  • Human-in-the-loop by default — Claude asks before executing sensitive actions like payouts
  • Full access to program settings, fraud rules, tracking config, and notification preferences

> Review this month's affiliate performance. Flag anyone
with conversion rate below 1% and suggest improvements.
I'll analyze affiliate performance for this month.
$ affonso affiliates list --status active --json
$ affonso commissions list --period this-month --json
Analyzed 47 active affiliates. 3 need attention:
Sarah Chen (0.4%) — high traffic, low conversion.
Suggest: update landing page assets via creative endpoint.
Marco Silva (0.7%) — declining from 2.1% last month.
Suggest: check if coupon code is still active.
Shall I update their coupon codes and notify them?

OpenClaw

An autonomous affiliate manager in your chat

OpenClaw turns Affonso into a skill that runs on your machine and talks to you through WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or any messaging app. Manage your affiliate program through casual conversation — or let it run on a schedule.

  • Install the Affonso skill and OpenClaw discovers all available affiliate management capabilities
  • Message from any chat app — "How are my affiliates doing this week?" gets a real-time answer
  • Schedule heartbeat tasks — your agent checks performance, processes applications, and reports back daily
  • Runs locally on your machine — your API keys and affiliate data stay private
WhatsApp → OpenClaw
You: Any new affiliate applications today?
Claw: You have 5 pending applications. 3 look strong:
1. techreviews.io (DA 62) — SaaS review blog
2. startuphacks.co (DA 48) — newsletter with 12k subs
3. growthtools.dev (DA 51) — dev tools directory
2 flagged: low DA and no audience overlap.
You: Approve the top 3, reject the rest.
Claw: Done. Approved 3, rejected 2. Welcome emails sent.

Paperclip

Hire an AI affiliate manager for your company

Paperclip lets you orchestrate AI agents like employees. Create an "Affiliate Manager" role in your org chart, assign it Affonso access, and it runs your program with the same rigor as a human hire.

  • Define an Affiliate Manager role with clear goals: grow partner count, optimize conversion, reduce fraud
  • The agent wakes on scheduled heartbeats to check applications, review performance, and take action
  • Set budget limits — your AI employee auto-pauses when costs hit the threshold you define
  • Full audit trail — every action is logged in Paperclip's ticket system so you see exactly what happened
