Pactly lives where the deal is made: in your Telegram group, in a pasted WhatsApp chat, or inside an AI agent. It writes the contract, PayPal holds the money, and it's released only when the work actually matches what was promised.
“I paid upfront in a DM and the seller vanished.” Chat deals have no protection: no contract, no proof, no refund path.
“I delivered the work and got ghosted.” Freelancers working first carry all the risk of non-payment.
Traditional escrow means forms, fees and days of manual review: far too heavy for a $50 logo or a $300 website.
The agent also works on its own: it flags scam patterns before anyone pays, voids the PayPal hold if a deadline passes with no delivery, and renews the hold when PayPal's 3-day honor period ends.
The bot notices “deal 👍”, drafts the pact from the conversation, posts a PayPal funding button, checks /deliver photos, and only the buyer's tap releases money.
Any MCP client can open a pact, relay deliveries and settle, but only inside the mandate the human gave in PayPal checkout. Agents can never release more than the verifier certified.
