Authflow Pitch Deck

1. Title

  • Authflow — “Paywall as a Service for the Agentic Era”
  • Tagline: Creators build. Authflow monetizes.

2. Problem

  • GPTs and chat-based AI agents have exploded, but monetization is broken.
  • Patreon, Gumroad, Substack aren’t built for AI-native products.
  • Creators in the AI economy need a simple, secure, scalable way to charge for access directly within the ChatGPT ecosystem.

3. Solution

  • Authflow 1.5 — first and only chat-native paywall system operating directly inside ChatGPT and other Agent centric workflows.
  • Enterprise-grade, built for scale.
  • Subscription-based model tailored to creators and their audiences.
  • Authflow is the “how” — solving the monetization gap while creators focus on the 5 Ws (who, what, when, where, why).

4. Creators (Our Users)

  • Authflow serves the creator economy — individuals and teams building GPTs, agents, and AI services.
  • These creators connect paywalls to their GPTs and monetize their audiences.
  • Business model: creators generate revenue, Authflow collects 10%.

  • Authflow is starting at the center of the largest ecosystem. Activley expanding into all agentic layer markets
  • AI engagement is fragmented across platforms, but Authflow is platform-agnostic

7. Business Model
