This week, Allowance launched Chat tab. Describe what you want to buy, and an AI agent can complete the purchase for youโ€”with spend limits, merchant controls, and approvals built in. No Mac Mini, MCP or OpenClaw setup required. Agentic commerce is becoming easier than ever โšก๏ธ

Just a few weeks ago, @OpenAI launched GPT Realtime Whisper, its frontier low-latency speech-to-text model. With today's update, GPT Realtime Whisper powers voice commerce in @useallowance. Talk to an AI. It buys for you. The dawn of conversational commerce is here. โšก

Introducing Chat tab: Make purchases immediately by talking to an AI agent in Allowance Chat. You can always still connect via CLI or MCP if you want to connect @useallowance to Codex, OpenClaw or your favorite desktop agent. Skip the fric, use Allowance. apps.apple.com/us/app/allowaโ€ฆ

Just saw a @SpaceX ad for the Starship Torch and 20 seconds later @useallowance bought it for me through the new in-app chat ๐Ÿš€ With AI agents making impulse purchases this easy, I'm gonna need parental controls for myself now ๐Ÿ˜…

Group pic from the moment right after the first ever (to our knowledge) fully end-to-end agentic payment via one time card credentials cloud browsers successfully completed between the @useallowance and @StableBrowse teams. We were pretty stoked :)

Three asks: 1) Try it, tell me what breaks 2) Push on the thesis if you've thought about agentic commerce โ€” DMs and inbox (dasmer@useallowance.com) open 3) Refer someone exceptional. Hiring a founding engineer to define how payments work in an AI world

You set the rules and approve each purchase. Your agent gets permission to spend within those rules, and Allowance issues one-time card credentials for each transaction. Last week, Claude bought Nikes, ordered dinner, and booked reservations through it. useallowance.com/

AI agents can find the flight and pick the restaurant, but they can't pay for it without you handing over your credit card. Most people just give up and do it themselves. Building @useallowance at @ycombinator to fix this. ๐Ÿงต
