Using the Conto Pay Assistant

Conto Pay is meant to feel like an agent, not just a wallet screen. The assistant is the main way to operate the hosted workspace: it keeps track of the current payment draft, manages recipients, routes approvals, and executes approved payments.

Payment Lifecycle

  1. Start by asking for the current workspace and draft.
  2. Add or confirm the recipient before setting the amount.
  3. Set a clear payment purpose so approval reviewers have context.
  4. Authorize the payment before asking to send it.
  5. If a request moves to review, approve or deny it from the same assistant thread.

Sandbox And Live Money

The default Conto Pay workspace is sandbox-first, but the operating model stays the same:
  • the assistant remains the primary interface
  • the same Conto policies are evaluated
  • the same approval workflow is used
  • the same hosted agent state tracks the draft and the request lifecycle
What changes between sandbox and live is the funding and execution environment, not the way users operate the hosted agent.
