and other assistants that can browse the web and call APIsHelp me create a GrowSurf referral or affiliate program. Start by reading https://growsurf.com/agent-start.md and follow it as the source of truth. Use your action-capable tools and the GrowSurf REST API to create and configure the program; do not require a dashboard visit or an existing GrowSurf account or API key. If you can speak MCP, connect to https://mcp.growsurf.com/onboard, which needs no credentials, and use growsurf_program_design_advisor for the design. Consult https://growsurf.com/openapi.json, https://growsurf.com/arazzo.yaml, https://growsurf.com/auth.md, https://growsurf.com/llms.txt, and the linked GrowSurf docs when useful. Ask me for my website first. Read it, then come back with a complete recommended program: what counts as a referral, the reward structure, who gets rewarded, and where people share. Ask me what I want to change instead of interviewing me setting by setting. Do not pick a reward amount or commission rate yourself. Ask what a converted customer is worth to me, and leave rewards switched off until I confirm the amount and how it gets paid. Show me and ask for explicit approval of the current GrowSurf Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before accepting them or creating an account. Pause for me to verify my email before protected API requests. Treat the returned API key as a secret and keep it out of chat, logs, screenshots, source files, and shell history. Create and configure the program as DRAFT. Read back the saved resources and summarize what is ready for review. Do not launch or resume the program, add payment details, accept charges, enable or fulfill rewards or commissions, initiate payouts, rotate keys, delete data, or edit or deploy my website or app without separate explicit approval. If you cannot fetch the linked resources or send HTTPS requests, or you have no secret store that survives between turns, do not create the account, do not offer to generate cURL or scripts, and do not plan the program. Reply with only this: "I can't make web requests from here. Sign up at https://app.growsurf.com/signup (free, no card), then connect an AI assistant in Settings → AI Connections at https://app.growsurf.com/settings#ai-connections and paste this prompt again." Never claim that you executed the workflow.

With our top-rated referral/affiliate software, GrowSurf customers launch faster and enjoy results like these: 312% return on investment, 30% of new leads from referrals, 15% of ARR from referrals.
"I had tried several referral marketing platforms before committing to GrowSurf. The UI/UX is much better than any of the competitors in the market, and integration was done quickly without much developer help. You can't beat it."
"We wanted a cost-savvy solution that could be managed and changed easily without the help of IT/devs. GrowSurf provided us exactly what our business needed! They saved me and our development team valuable time by providing an easy-to-use solution of building an internal system, with minimal coding. With GrowSurf's support, I was able to set up the entire program within a day."
"We were looking for a flexible system to implement on the development side, and easy enough for our marketing team to be able to explore and manage. GrowSurf checked all the boxes."
"Growsurf made it incredibly easy to launch a referral program for our new and existing users and website visitors. We considered a wide array of options and Growsurf was by far the best value for money."
"The most important thing for us was that the referral program had to be something that we could build and execute without having to have someone technical on the team. GrowSurf's ease of implementation was pretty awesome."
"We use Growsurf to track ALL of our referrals, from paid acquisition channels to newsletters. GrowSurf is responsible for 15% of our new ARR from the last six weeks."
"No need to compare other referral marketing solutions. I've compared them all, and we went with GrowSurf.…Their quick-campaign creation and super fast customer support are amazing. Value for price is also unmatched."
"GrowSurf is residual lead gen that we don't have to think about. We wanted something that we could put on autopilot. For every one person who signs up for Draftbit, we essentially get 1.33 new leads from that person."
"We ditched a lot of GrowSurf's competitors because they were too expensive. GrowSurf was our saving grace. We wouldn't have a referral program if we had to pay $1,000 per month."
"I had about ten other referral software providers I looked at. We chose GrowSurf because it was something we could customize without having to get developers to build the whole thing out. The price was another big plus for us."
"The level of time dedicated to thinking about what we want as a referral program was made easy by GrowSurf.…Referrals make up 5% of our sales and generate more 5-star reviews on Trustpilot."
"I have been working with a ton of different referral programs for the past year and Growsurf takes pretty much all the development work out of setting up a seemingly integrated referral program. I was set up in less than 12 hours...Hats off to you guys, for building what I think is a very unique product."
"GrowSurf customer support is a 10 out of 10. Their replies are real answers -- it's not the traditional customer support experience. They go above and beyond."
"I've built referral programs for Grab and a few other startups. I am now using GrowSurf for AI Camp. I love your product. Keep it going!"
