Your clients are already asking about AI, and AI companies are pitching them directly. Whoever makes the intro owns the line. Better it's you.

Two ways to earn

Refer it, or make it your own.

Most Indian partners just take the 15%, their client pays nothing extra. Premium clients? Keep the spread instead.

What you're selling

One AI agent. Not a chatbot.

When you recommend us, we make sure it works. Paste your client's website, the agent is live in minutes, trained on their products, policies and voice. No code.

Answers

Product, order, returns and policy questions, in the brand's own voice, 24/7.

Sells

Recommends, recovers carts, and closes the sale right there in the chat. Meta answers. Steps sells.

Acts

Places the order, runs WhatsApp broadcasts and automated workflows, captures the opt-in. No human needed.

WhatsApp broadcasts, cart-recovery flows and workflows built in. No separate tool to buy.
The ad traffic they pay for stops leaking at the last step.
Client isn't a store? It captures and qualifies leads for clinics, salons and real estate too.

The part that matters most

Your client stays yours.

We respect the relationship you have built with your client, and it stays that way. We do not contact them directly, pitch them upgrades around you, or sell to a brand on your referral ourselves. The relationship stays yours. So does the margin. As written in the partner agreement.

Glad you made it here. I run Steps AI, and I handle every founding partner conversation myself. You will not be routed through a support inbox or handed to a rep who moves on in six months. When you bring a client in, you are bringing them to me, and I treat that the same way you do.

The questions you'll get asked

Answers you can give your clients.

The things every brand asks before they say yes, handled up front.

Will it slow my client's website?

No. The agent loads as a lightweight script served from a CDN and runs asynchronously, so it never blocks the page. Core Web Vitals stay clean.

Could it lose trust with their shoppers?

The opposite. It answers only from the brand's own catalog, policies and content, so replies are accurate, not made up. When it isn't sure, it hands off to a human with the full chat.

Is their customer data safe?

Yes. Customer data is never used to train shared models. Enterprise gets dedicated setup, white-labeling and a signed DPA for EU/UK traffic.

There are dozens of these. Why Steps AI?

Most tools just answer. Steps sells: it recommends, closes and recovers carts on website, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, in local languages, at prices that fit almost every client you have.
