Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Copper is a sales CRM built tightly around Gmail and Google accounts. Once our agent had an account and an API key, it ran the day-to-day sales work (contacts, deals, tasks, tags) entirely on its own. Getting in is the hard part: the sign-up page offers only Google, and API keys are made only on a settings page in the browser.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Salesforce is a CRM and AI-agent platform, but an agent working on its own could not even sign up: the free developer-account page and the trial sign-in are blocked by the site's anti-bot defenses, and the paid trial form asks for a phone number the agent doesn't have. Because no account or org could be created, none of the CRM, sales, service or AI-agent features could be tried.

| A person helped | No | No |
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.
