AON

Quick answers

What does AON stand for and what does it do?

Agent Offer Network (AON) is the offer network for AI-native commerce that connects AI products with structured merchant offers and preserves attribution from user intent to a later reported outcome. The AI product controls whether and how to present an offer, while the merchant remains responsible for checkout, payment, and fulfillment.

How can an AI product make money with AON?

An AI product can monetize with AON when a user continues through a documented offer action and the merchant reports a qualifying outcome. The product requests relevant offers, decides whether to render one natively, preserves the attribution path, and AON evaluates the outcome against the offer's goal and commercial terms.

Is AON an ad network or affiliate network?

AON is closer to AI commerce infrastructure than a classic ad network. It can support affiliate-like outcome monetization but is designed around AI product workflows including intent matching, structured offer data, native rendering, and attribution, making it different from inventory-led ad networks and manually placed affiliate links.

Does AON handle checkout, payment, or fulfillment?

No, AON is not a general marketplace or payment rail. It does not execute merchant checkout, hold payment credentials, authorize transactions, or fulfill orders. AON only connects AI products to structured merchant offers and preserves evidence for attribution, while merchants remain responsible for checkout, payment, and fulfillment.

Can AON work for chatbots, agents, and AI assistants?

Yes, AON is designed for AI-native products such as chatbots, agents, assistants, and workflow tools. It works best when the product can understand what the user is trying to do, request relevant offers, and present them as a natural part of the answer or workflow.
