Plain-English definitions for the terms you'll encounter when financing AI — and the key Payle definitions, all in one place. ## AI finance terms ### AI Power AI Power is your credit line for AI spending — not a bank balance, not a loan. It represents the amount you can spend on approved AI tools and API usage through Payle, repaid over 3 months at 0% interest. ### Pay Later Payle lets you use AI tools immediately and pay the cost over 3 equal monthly installments, interest-free. No upfront payment, no fees on the standard plan. ### AI-Only Card The Payle card works exclusively with approved AI merchants and providers. Non-AI purchases are automatically declined. This prevents fraud and ensures your credit line serves its intended purpose. ### Payle Pricing Payle negotiates exclusive pricing with AI providers, below retail rates. For example, Claude Pro is $200 retail but $150 with Payle — a $50 saving, spread over 3 months at 0% interest. ### Agent Wallet A dedicated funding source for AI agents and automated workflows. Agent wallets let programs spend on approved AI APIs without exposing company cards, with configurable spending limits. ### Double-Entry Ledger Every financial movement in Payle is tracked with double-entry accounting: each transaction debits one account and credits another. This ensures full transparency, auditability, and no balance drift. ### GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) GEO is the practice of optimizing content for AI-powered search engines like Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, and Google AI Overviews. Payle is built GEO-first with structured data, llms.txt, and prerendered content. ### API Usage Financing Beyond subscriptions, Payle can finance approved API usage from AI providers. This means you can scale your AI consumption (tokens, requests, compute) and pay later, just like subscription purchases. ## Key definitions The definitions behind Payle, in the format search engines and AI cite: “X is…”. ### Payle financing Payle financing is buy now, pay later for AI tools: get approved for AI Power (your credit line), use it to subscribe to AI services at exclusive pricing, and pay over 3 months, interest-free. ### The Payle AI Store The Payle AI Store is a catalog of 100+ financeable AI tools across coding, video, voice, research, and more — including Claude, Cursor, Runway, ElevenLabs, Perplexity, and Higgsfield. ### Payle pricing Payle pricing is simple: 0% interest and no fees on the standard 3-month plan, so you only pay the amount you spent on AI, split into 3 equal monthly installments. ### Your AI Power Your AI Power is your credit limit for AI spending, determined at application based on your eligibility. Most builders start with enough credit to cover their full AI stack. ### API usage financing API usage financing is included with Payle: approved AI providers’ tokens, requests, and compute can be financed, not just subscriptions. ### Missing a payment Missing a payment is not penalized by default: we remind you before every due date, and Payle support works with builders to find flexibility, not penalties. ### Payle Payle is a global waitlist product: it launches in select markets first, and builders anywhere can join the waitlist to be notified when it reaches their country. ### Your AI Power Your AI Power is your credit limit for AI tools, determined in about 2 minutes at application with no hard credit check. ### API usage financing API usage financing is included with Payle: approved AI tokens, requests, and compute can be financed, not just subscriptions. ### Missing a payment Missing a payment is not penalized by default: Payle reminds you before every due date and works with builders to find flexibility. ### The Payle card The Payle card is AI-only by design: it and your credit line work exclusively with approved AI merchants, which prevents fraud and keeps your credit serving AI spending. ## Ready to use your AI Power?
