Everyone's talking about AI. But your audience doesn't need more AI hype — they need AI that actually does something. That's exactly what Text® app delivers. And as an affiliate partner, that distinction is your biggest selling point.

Text is now available in the Text Partner Program, which means you can earn up to 22% recurring commission for every paying customer you refer — for life. Let's break down why it's worth promoting, what makes it genuinely different, and how you can start earning.

What the numbers say about this program

Before we get into the product itself, here's some context on what's possible.

The program paid out $4,477,731 to partners in just a single year. The average affiliate earned $12,101 annually, and the most successful partner has earned $2,504,350 to date. Those aren't projections — those are real payouts.

The standard commission starts at 20% recurring for life. Once you refer five paying customers, that rate rises to 22% on all new licenses. And since the average customer stays for three years, you're not just making a one-time referral — you're building a real passive income stream.

A few more things worth knowing: joining is free, the cookie window is 120 days, and earnings are paid out via PayPal eCheck. Withdrawals take seconds once you hit the $50 minimum.

Why the Text is the right product to promote right now

Over 35,000 brands are already using Text, including PayPal, IKEA, Mercedes-Benz, Sephora, and McDonald's. That's the kind of brand trust that makes referrals convert.

Text® app combines AI live chat, an AI help desk, and an AI agent into one platform — and it's built specifically for teams that want to do more than just resolve tickets. Smart teams resolve up to 89% of cases with Text and then turn them into revenue.

That's a compelling pitch for your audience, whether they're running an ecommerce store, a SaaS company, or a service business.

The results speak for themselves. One customer added $1.5M in revenue in just frist six months. Another automates 125,000 cases per year. A third increased average order value by 25% with 90% CSAT.

When you're writing a review, a comparison article, or even a social post, those are the numbers your readers remember.

AI agents that actually do something — for every industry

Here's what really sets Text apart from generic AI tools: specialized AI agents built for specific industries and use cases.

Text offers AI agents for ecommerce, SaaS, iGaming, finance, healthcare, and education — each one trained and configured for the problems that industry actually faces.

The ecommerce AI agent handles shipping questions, exchanges, and cart recovery 24/7. The SaaS agent converts pipeline by answering questions in natural language and speeding up onboarding. The finance agent qualifies interest and guides people to the right products. The healthcare agent answers patient questions, recommends next steps, and helps complete forms — so staff can focus on care.

Each agent can also be customized with skills: product recommendations, lead generation, cross-sell and upsell flows, personalized discounts, FAQ automation, and smart handoff to a human agent when needed.

This adaptability is what makes Text worth writing about, regardless of your niche. Your audience is probably in one of these industries, and there's an AI agent built specifically for them.
