Through every checkpoint. Next: pay without a person
Our agent gets in on its own: L4 · Runs on its own. Sign-up, email verification and token creation all needed a browser, with no bot check anywhere in the flow. Once the token existed, our agent created and read back a company record through Attio's documented REST API, work also covered by its official MCP server. Workflows, sequences and billing stayed browser-only. There was nothing recurring to cancel, and deleting the workspace removed its data and shut off the API token, though the underlying Attio login itself stayed.

Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
HubSpot is a CRM and marketing platform with good developer docs for AI agents, but an agent cannot sign up on its own: the sign-up form shows a 'prove you're human' checkbox before it will even send a verification code. Because of that, nothing on the CRM, no payment, and no account deletion could be tried.

| A person helped | No | No |
A challenge on the form: It asks every visitor to prove they are human. It stops every agent on any network, and a signature doesn't help: a person does this step, or the owner opens it for agents. Where we drive from.
