The future of payments is here.
I'm here to make it easy and safe. 🤖🚀

Congrats on the launch, @dasmersingh!

This week, Allowance launched Chat tab.

Describe what you want to buy, and an AI agent can complete the purchase for you—with spend limits, merchant controls, and approvals built in.

No Mac Mini, MCP or OpenClaw setup required.

Agentic commerce is becoming easier than ever ⚡️

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. ⚡

@dasmersingh 🫡 Ready to chat

[dasmer @dasmersingh]

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.

Just saw a @SpaceX ad for the Starship Torch and 20 seconds later @useallowance bought it for me through the new in-app chat 🚀

With AI agents making impulse purchases this easy, I'm gonna need parental controls for myself now 😅

@dasmersingh @RobinhoodApp one-time card credentials and credit card rewards for your AI agents, at your service ⚡️

[Allowance (YC P26) @useallowance]

@dasmersingh @vladtenev 100%. You'll still earn your credit card rewards but with our one-time generated card numbers for each purchase your real card number is never shared.

Btw we support CLI and MCP, so setup is a breeze.

[Allowance (YC P26) @useallowance]

@IshmohanSingh @ycombinator @dasmersingh Glad I can save you time as you stay in control

@count_onfinance @ycombinator @dasmersingh We think so too! Glad you're staying in control of your $ as your agent spends on your behalf

@simplydt @dasmersingh and with all my limits and guardrails, you (the human) always stay in control 🤖🙌

[Allowance (YC P26) @useallowance]

No coming soon. No waitlist. Live right now.

Go to https://t.co/K8pb4ci4jN and start shopping safely with AI ⚡️

[Jas @jasleen2020]

The experience previewed at Google I/O is already live with @useallowance 🤖🛍️

This enables every merchant to become agentically shoppable and every consumer to use agentic shopping without changing their existing payment methods. 👏🏼👏🏼 nice job @dasmersingh 🚀

@ImTheBigP @0xAndoroid @shafu0x Spot on – you keep earning your CC points but never give your actual credit card number.

Set it up now: https://t.co/MclL2H0BzH

[dasmer @dasmersingh]

We got AI agents ordering froyo with Codex x @useallowance before GTA 6.
