Fragmented
Food on one app, groceries on another, electronics on a third. Every basket starts from zero.
Agentic payments, built for the UAE
Ayo is the agentic payment platform for everything you order. Tell it what you want in one message. It searches the merchants you already use, builds one basket, pays with a mandated single use card and follows the order to your door.
Built to order across the apps you already use
Target integrations. Names shown indicate category coverage, not existing commercial agreements.
The problem
One evening. Dinner, a forgotten charger, milk for the morning. That is three apps, three baskets, three checkouts, and nobody comparing anything.
Food on one app, groceries on another, electronics on a third. Every basket starts from zero.
Search, compare, cart, address, card, one time passcode. Then do the whole thing again tomorrow.
The same product sits at three prices across three apps and nobody has the patience to check.
Your allergies, brands, sizes and usual order live in your head, not in any of the apps.
How it works
Ayo does the searching, the comparing, the checking out and the chasing. You do the approving.
One sentence, in English or Arabic, the way you would say it to a friend. No forms, no filters.
It reads live menus, stock, prices and delivery windows across connected merchants, then weighs them against your history.
One summary, one tap. Your spending caps, blocked categories and merchant allow list are already applied.
A single use credential is minted for that exact order and dies at settlement. Your real card never leaves the vault.
Live tracking, substitution approvals, refunds and a clean receipt, all back in the same conversation.
“Order dinner for four from a good Lebanese place, under 250 dirhams.”
Paid, tracked, delivered.
What you can ask
Ayo is not a food app with a chatbot bolted on. It is one agent with a memory, working across every merchant you use.
“Something light for two tonight, no dairy, here before nine.”
Compares three kitchens, checks the allergen list, orders the one that arrives first.
“Same groceries as last week, but skip the crisps and add more fruit.”
Rebuilds the basket from memory, splits it across the two cheapest stores, books one slot.
“My kettle died. Get a decent one under 200 dirhams, tomorrow.”
Ranks by rating and delivery date across marketplaces, buys, tracks, files the warranty.
“Twelve people on Friday. Mezze, drinks, ice, and something for the kids.”
Plans quantities, spreads the order across a restaurant and a grocer, times both arrivals.
“Watch the coffee I buy and reorder when it drops under 60 dirhams.”
Monitors price across merchants, buys inside your cap, tells you what it saved.
“Pharmacy run: the usual prescription, plus sunscreen and plasters.”
Finds a pharmacy that stocks all three, confirms substitutions with you, pays once.
Trust and safety
An agent that spends money has to be provably safe before it is convenient. Ayo is built mandate first, not prompt first.
Every purchase runs against a mandate you signed: merchant, category, amount and time window. Step outside it and Ayo stops and asks.
A tokenised number is minted per order and dies at settlement. Your real card sits in a PCI scoped vault that Ayo cannot read.
Ayo proposes, you approve. Hands off execution happens only inside the limits you set yourself, and never for a new merchant.
Every prompt, price, comparison, substitution and charge is logged and exportable. Disputes are backed by evidence, not memory.
Acquiring and settlement run through a regulated UAE partner, built to Central Bank of the UAE payment and data rules.
Designed against AP2, ACP and the card network agent token schemes, so Ayo plugs into agent checkout as merchants adopt it.
Merchants
Four integration modes mean coverage never waits on business development. Depth improves as partnerships land.
Direct catalogue and checkout with the merchant.
Revenue share coverage from day one.
AP2 and ACP endpoints as merchants adopt them.
Ayo prepares the order, you confirm in the app.
Target integrations. Named merchants indicate category coverage, not existing commercial agreements.
Questions
It is a platform where an AI agent completes a purchase on your behalf. You describe the outcome you want, the agent plans the order across merchants, and payment is made with a credential scoped to that one purchase under rules you signed in advance. You stay in control of the decision, the agent does the work.
