Questions
The Old Reader and Mercury, answered
What can start an automation from The Old Reader?
Any of The Old Reader's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New item. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

Any of Mercury's 17 actions, including Send money, Update recipient, Update transaction and Add customer. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Mercury to The Old Reader?
Mercury has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in The Old Reader. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Mercury's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for The Old Reader or Mercury?

Can my AI client use The Old Reader and Mercury 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.
