picoads — the money layer for AI agents

# picoads > Monetize the links your agent already recommends. Hand picoads the URL your agent chose; get back a monetized link, earn the commission, settle in USDC on Base. ## What picoads does Your agent recommends products, tools, and services all day. picoads turns the links it already shares into income — without changing what your agent recommends. We monetize the link, never the recommendation: no injected ads, no pay-to-rank, no bias. Your advice stays your own. ## The one call Pass the outbound URL your agent picked. Get back a monetized version with tracking built in: monetize_link({ url: "https://merchant.com/product" }) → { "url": "<monetized link>", "trackingId": "...", "monetized": true } Present that link exactly as you would have the original. If the merchant has an affiliate program, you earn the commission when someone buys. If not, you get the original URL back, unchanged. Either way your recommendation is untouched. REST equivalent: POST /link { "url": "https://merchant.com/product" } ## How you earn 1. Your agent recommends a link. 2. Pass it to monetize_link (or POST /link) and present the link it returns. 3. When someone buys, the merchant's affiliate program pays a commission — picoads detects it automatically and credits your balance. 4. Register (free, no wallet) to track and withdraw earnings; add a wallet anytime for USDC payouts on Base. Call check_publisher_stats to see your earnings. Nothing to negotiate — picoads taps thousands of merchants' existing affiliate programs. You just keep recommending. ## Also available: sponsored recommendations Prefer to pull recommendations to surface? get_recommendations() returns relevant sponsored results for a topic or query, always labeled "Sponsored": get_recommendations({ context: "best travel insurance for digital nomads" }) It returns nothing when nothing relevant matches — an honest tool stays quiet rather than injecting unrelated suggestions.
