Find affiliate products in AI-generated images
When your AI generates or displays product images, ChatAds identifies what's in the image and matches it to the right affiliate offer — automatically.
Your AI generates or displays product images but you can't monetize what's in them. Building a visual search pipeline — image recognition, product matching, affiliate lookup — is a months-long project.
Send an image URL and get back a product match with an affiliate link. Works on AI-generated images, user uploads, and catalog photos — no visual search pipeline required.
How it works
Pass an image URL. We identify the product and return an affiliate link.
Send the image URL
Pass any product image URL to the ChatAds API — whether AI-generated, user-uploaded, or pulled from a catalog.
We identify the product
Visual search matches the image against product databases to find the exact or closest matching product.
You get the affiliate link
We return the product name, price, and affiliate URL. Display it as a card, overlay, or however fits your UI.
Products identified in an AI-generated image, with shoppable annotations linking to affiliate offers.
Three ways to monetize products that appear in images
| Build It Yourself Google Lens API + affiliate lookups | Existing Tools Shoppable image platforms, tag-based tools | ChatAds Built for AI conversations | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Call Google Lens or a visual search API, parse results, then look up affiliate links for matched products | Manually tag hotspots on images. Pre-configured products only. Doesn't work on dynamic AI output. | Send an image URL, get back a product match + affiliate link. One call. |
| AI-generated images | Partial You build the pipeline to handle novel images that don't exist in product catalogs | No Requires manual tagging — impossible for dynamically generated images | Yes Handles AI-generated, user-uploaded, and catalog images equally |
| Product matching | You build matching logic between visual search results and affiliate catalogs | Manual — you pre-assign products to image regions | Automatic. Visual search to product match to affiliate link in one step. |
| Affiliate network support | One network at a time. You build each integration. | Usually requires separate shoppable image vendor per network | Amazon, CJ, Impact, ShareASale, and more. All through one API. |
| Time to integrate | Weeks to months | Hours per image (manual tagging) | Under an hour |
