What can your agent do in Grain when something happens in Dotdigital?
Any of Grain's 22 actions, including Create Clip, Create Playlist, Update Clip and Update Playlist. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Grain to Dotdigital?

Can my AI client use Dotdigital and Grain 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.
