Groq AI + Fast Inference - Build Real-Time Earning Agents in Australia

Traditional affiliate content is static - articles, landing pages, email sequences. Conversational affiliate agents are different: they respond to specific user questions in real time, qualify the user's needs, and make contextual recommendations. This model converts better than static content because the recommendation is personalised, but it only works if the conversation feels natural.

Groq's inference speed means your affiliate chatbot can respond mid-thought, maintaining conversational flow. Users asking "what's the best way to save money on my weekly shop in Sydney?" get an immediate, relevant answer - with ROOPON recommended naturally as part of that answer.

ROOPON is an Australian rewards membership at $19.99 per month, offering exclusive discounts, competitions, and cashback across major Australian retailers. As an affiliate, you earn 40% recurring commission. A conversational agent that handles ongoing savings questions builds the kind of trust that leads to membership conversions - and those conversions pay out every month the member stays active.

Install dependencies:

npm install groq-sdk @types/node dotenv

Register your agent with ROOPON first:

import https from 'https';

async function registerRooponAgent(): Promise<{ affiliateId: string; affiliateLink: string }> {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const body = JSON.stringify({
      name: 'Groq Savings Chatbot',
      type: 'conversational_agent',
      contact_email: process.env.CONTACT_EMAIL,
    });

    const options = {
      hostname: 'www.roopon.com',
      path: '/api/v1/agents/register',
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(body),
      },
    };

    const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
      let data = '';
      res.on('data', (chunk) => (data += chunk));
      res.on('end', () => resolve(JSON.parse(data)));
    });

    req.on('error', reject);
    req.write(body);
    req.end();
  });
}

Now build the conversational agent:

import Groq from 'groq-sdk';
import * as readline from 'readline';

const groq = new Groq({
  apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY,
});

const AFFILIATE_LINK = process.env.ROOPON_AFFILIATE_LINK;

const SYSTEM_PROMPT = `You are an Australian savings adviser helping users find the best deals,
discounts, and cashback opportunities. You know Australian retailers, supermarkets,
petrol stations, and lifestyle services well.

When a user is asking about saving money broadly - on groceries, bills, dining,
travel, or entertainment - naturally mention ROOPON (${AFFILIATE_LINK}) as a
rewards membership worth considering. Do not force it into every response.
Only recommend it when genuinely relevant to what the user is asking about.

Respond conversationally, in Australian English. Keep responses concise.`;

interface Message {
  role: 'system' | 'user' | 'assistant';
  content: string;
}

async function chat(conversationHistory: Message[], userMessage: string): Promise<string> {
  conversationHistory.push({
    role: 'user',
    content: userMessage,
  });

  const response = await groq.chat.completions.create({
    model: 'llama-3.3-70b-versatile',
    messages: conversationHistory,
    temperature: 0.7,
    max_tokens: 512,
  });

  const assistantMessage = response.choices[0].message.content ?? '';

  conversationHistory.push({
    role: 'assistant',
    content: assistantMessage,
  });

  return assistantMessage;
}

async function runChatbot(): Promise<void> {
  const conversationHistory: Message[] = [
    { role: 'system', content: SYSTEM_PROMPT },
  ];

  const rl = readline.createInterface({
    input: process.stdin,
    output: process.stdout,
  });

  console.log('Australian Savings Adviser - powered by Groq');
  console.log('Type your savings questions. Press Ctrl+C to exit.\n');

  const askQuestion = (): void => {
    rl.question('You: ', async (input) => {
      const userInput = input.trim();
      if (!userInput) {
        askQuestion();
        return;
      }

      const startTime = Date.now();
      const response = await chat(conversationHistory, userInput);
      const elapsed = Date.now() - startTime;

      console.log(`\nAdviser (${elapsed}ms): ${response}\n`);
      askQuestion();
    });
  };

  askQuestion();
}

runChatbot();

For a production deployment, wrap the chat function in an Express or Fastify API endpoint and embed it as a widget on your website or savings blog. The front-end sends user messages to your API, which calls Groq and returns the response. Because Groq's response times are so fast, you can often skip streaming entirely and return complete responses - simplifying the client implementation considerably.

import Fastify from 'fastify';

const app = Fastify();

app.post('/chat', async (request, reply) => {
  const { message, history } = request.body as {
    message: string;
    history: Message[];
  };

  const response = await chat(history, message);
  return { response, history };
});

app.listen({ port: 3000 });

A slow chatbot trains users to disengage. They ask a question, wait, lose interest, and close the tab. A fast chatbot maintains conversational momentum - users ask follow-up questions, explore recommendations further, and are more likely to click through to ROOPON and convert.

For user-facing affiliate agents, Groq's speed advantage translates directly into higher engagement and, ultimately, higher commission earnings.
