Make the golden path obvious: terminal copy-paste plus zero-click checkout
yacineMTB · x · 2026-08-04
A product-growth take on converting AI users into paying customers: make the user’s “golden path” unmistakable, let them paste a curl | bash-style command into a terminal, and open the credit-card payment flow in a browser with zero clicks.
The point is that users shouldn’t have to read Reddit or hunt for instructions before they can pay. The onboarding path should be obvious, fast, and frictionless enough that the user is already trying to convert themselves.
