Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Twilio to Tally? Twilio has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Tally. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Twilio's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Tally or Twilio? 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. ### ### Can my AI client use Tally and Twilio without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in Twilio once and it runs that action on the spot.

It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes.
