# What Alyte does

> Sell tickets to AI shopping agents — with the buyer's limits enforced server-side and money settling on your own PSP.

AI agents — ChatGPT, Gemini, bank assistants, custom bots — increasingly shop on
people's behalf. Alyte is the connector that lets a ticketing merchant accept
those agents safely:

* **The buyer stays in control.** They authorize a specific agent with a spending
  cap, an expiry, and an optional event scope. Alyte enforces that mandate
  server-side on every purchase — the agent proposes, Alyte disposes.
* **Money never touches Alyte.** Charges settle directly on **your** payment
  provider (your Stripe, your acquirer). Alyte's fee is invoiced separately,
  never deducted from funds in transit.
* **Oversell is impossible by construction.** Reservations are atomic,
  time-limited holds against your inventory.
* **Prices are locked at quote time.** An agent never sends an amount; it pays a
  quote your catalog priced.
