You can now pay for things in Africa directly from your AI agent.
Today we’re introducing Paystack Index, the easiest way to check out with Paystack merchants through Claude, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, and any AI agent.
At launch, you can:
→ Buy airtime: “Buy ₦500 MTN airtime for 080…”
→ Send money with @zapbypaystack: “Send ₦25k to…”
→ Buy food with @ChowdeckHQ: “Order jollof under ₦3k near me”
As more merchants join the Index, you’ll be able to do more, from booking rides and ordering groceries to paying utility bills, quickly and securely.
Paystack Index is now available in Nigeria, with more African markets coming soon.
An experimental product from Paystack and TSG Labs.
While an undergraduate at Stanford University, I had a crush on a Lebanese graduate student called Maya. We spent a lot of time together and one evening, after unsuccessfully trying to reach her all day, I went to grab a drink at the Graduate Lounge at around 8pm. There, I found her in a very cozy position with Larry Page, the founder of Google.
At the time, I was deeply disappointed in Maya. Today, with Larry worth about $294 billion (roughly KES 40 trillion), I have decided to forgive her.

all jokes aside, i think one of the best things that can happen to you as a young person is figuring out what you truly want to do with your life early on and being in an environment that doesn't hinder it from happening
