Connect Nytimes and Outplay
When New top story fires in Nytimes, your agent runs Create Task in Outplay, or New Account in Outplay to Find articles by criteria in Nytimes. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
