DocuSign vs PandaDoc for AI agents
As of 15 Oct 2026, both reach L1 · Needs a person, and our agent got as far with each: with DocuSign it was stopped at sign up (needs a human), with PandaDoc it was stopped at sign up (blocked).
- Find: Some docs for agents: An OpenAPI and an MCP server.
- Access: Can't sign up.
- Use: Work not reached.
- Pay: Payment not reached.
- Leave: Leaving not reached.
Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
L1 · Needs a person: an agent cannot get in on its own. Verification, a key, a first call and real work were never reached. Checkout hits the same puzzle at the account step, so a person still has to clear it before entering payment; no plan was started, so cancel and delete were not tested.

Stopped at sign up: blocked. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to get in: PandaDoc sits at L1, stopped before any work could start. Sign-up passes both steps of the free trial form, then the final submit answers "Captcha is not valid": an invisible reCAPTCHA refuses our agent's browser without showing a challenge, so there is no step a human could clear either. The docs open without an account: llms.txt, markdown pages, a full OpenAPI spec and the docs MCP all load headless. Only the key page, the official OAuth MCP login and every API call sit behind the account the captcha refused, so none of the core capabilities could be tried. Paying and cancelling were never reached: no account was created.

Bot checks, and where a person was needed.
| DocuSign | PandaDoc | |
|---|---|---|
| Bot check | Arkose Labs (FunCaptcha) stopped it at sign up, with a visible challenge | Google reCAPTCHA (invisible, score) stopped it at sign up, without a visible challenge |
| Wall type | A challenge on the form | A check of our network and browser |
| First wall | Arkose Labs puzzle on every sign-up | Invisible reCAPTCHA refuses sign-up |
| 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. 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.
