Founding partner cohort open

Partner with Steps AI.
Earn recurring revenue.

You already talk to e-commerce brands. Send them our AI agent and we pay you 20% of everything they spend, every month, for two years. You don't build it, run it, or support it. That part's on us.

The gap

Every line you bill needs delivery.
This one's on us.

Same client, same 24 months. One path is your team's hours, month after month. The other pays you for doing nothing past the intro.

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 20%, their client pays nothing extra. Premium clients? Keep the spread instead.

What you're selling

One AI agent. Not a chatbot.

Your name is on the recommendation, so it has to work. Point it at your client's URL and it goes 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.

You spent years earning that trust. We won't spend it. We never contact your client directly, never pitch them upgrades around you, and never sell to a brand on your link ourselves. The relationship, and the margin, stay with you. In writing, in the partner agreement.

No direct outreach to your clientsNo upsells behind your backYour link, contractually yours

You send the client. We track every payment on your link and pay you, automatically. Nothing to build, nothing to chase.

Reshmanth Jonnalagadda

I'm the founder of Steps AI. We're taking on a small founding cohort of partners, and I take every one of those calls myself. You'll deal with me directly, not a support inbox. Bring me one client and I'll set their agent up with you, free, this week. If it doesn't impress them, you've lost nothing.

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.
