Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own

Needs a person today: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent stopped right at the form: Create account led to a visible hCaptcha puzzle asking to drag a screw into place, and it got no further, so no account, token or verification mail followed. Chatwoot's developer docs are strong: llms.txt, Markdown pages, an OpenAPI spec, an official CLI with an agent skill, and a docs MCP server. None of that reached first action, since no credentials ever came through. Paying, cancelling and deleting the account were never reached: the human gate at sign-up stopped the drive before checkout or billing opened up.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own

L1 · Needs a person describes Gorgias today: an agent can reach the sign-up form but can't get past it alone. It stopped at signup, where an invisible Cloudflare Turnstile paired with reCAPTCHA v3 never cleared and left "Create my account" disabled. Our agent never reached verification, a key or a first call, so no work was attempted. Once a person finishes signup and hands over credentials, the surface is ready: an official MCP server with OAuth metadata and markdown API docs with OpenAPI reference. The trial needs no card, but checkout and cancellation sit inside the account our agent never opened, so neither was tested.

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. A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
