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: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Stopped at sign-up: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent read tawk.to's docs fine: llms.txt, the developer portal and the help center. The only sign-up route is a web form, and a Cloudflare Turnstile check stopped it there with "Human verification failed." No account followed. The key, the first call and real work stayed out of reach. Even a human's REST API key needs a separate approved access request first. Paying and cancelling live in the dashboard, by card or PayPal, with no billing API. Our agent never got far enough to see checkout.

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.
