You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use DNSFilter and PubNub without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you.
