How Candy.ai works — create, chat, subscribe, retain

A plain-English walkthrough of the Candy.ai funnel: create or pick a companion, chat loop, media features, and why lifetime revshare cares about retention. August 2026.

Step 1 — Pick or create

Start from a preset companion (faces you see on /ai) or open Create on Candy.ai to design looks and personality. Creation is the highest-intent action for retention: people keep what they built.

Step 2 — Chat loop

The product value is back-and-forth conversation. Affiliate pages that only show a banner without explaining the loop underperform because users do not know what happens after the first message.

Step 3 — Media upgrades

Images, voice, and video are the upsell moments. They are also why revshare can beat flat PPS for good traffic: media usage correlates with paid plans and token top-ups over weeks, not minutes.

Step 4 — What Javloved tracks

Clicks leave through t.vlmai-5.com track id 7793 (offer 9022) with aff_sub placement IDs like ai-hero / ai-clip / guide-candy-*. Check those in Crak stats to see which creative surfaces earn, not just which page gets sessions.
