Agentic Payments

Agentic payments are transactions an AI assistant kicks off and finishes on the user's behalf. Instead of a person typing in a card and clicking "buy," the agent handles the money inside the conversation.

The buyer says yes. The assistant pays. No checkout page, no redirect, no abandoned cart.

Why it matters for the ChatGPT funnel

The buying journey now starts in ChatGPT and Claude. If the agent can close the loop right there, the gap between intent and purchase nearly disappears.

That changes where your pipeline forms. The high-intent moment is no longer a click on your site you can track later. It's a decision the assistant acts on in real time.

If your brand shows up in the answer but can't transact in the chat, you lose the buyer at the exact second they were ready. That's funnel leakage you never see.

How drio fits

drio is the conversion layer that sits on this moment. When the assistant reaches real intent, your drio app gets picked and books the meeting or captures the lead in chat — before the buyer drifts. Agentic payments are the rails; drio is what gets you chosen to ride them.
