You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Twist and VidWords without building an automation? Yes.

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