Do I have to build a connector for Buddy Punch or Looker?

Can my AI client use Buddy Punch and Looker without building an automation?

What happens when something fails?
Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
