Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create assistant, Create chat completion, Create completion and Create embedding. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from OpenAI to Exist? Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Exist too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Exist's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Exist or OpenAI? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### 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.
