Through every checkpoint. Next: pay without a person
Gets in on its own, creates its key and runs the whole survey lifecycle: L4 · Runs on its own. Our agent passed every checkpoint: email sign-up with no CAPTCHA, a headless verification link, an API key from Organization Settings, then calls through the REST API and the official OAuth MCP server. It created, edited, published and read back surveys and responses, with webhooks and targeting, all from the API or MCP; sign-up, the key page, tags, segments, billing and account deletion stayed in the browser. The trial needed no card; our agent returned the plan to Hobby in the billing screen, then deleted its account and org from the profile page.

Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Needs a person to start: L1 · Needs a person. Our agent stopped first at sign-up, where Register raised a Google reCAPTCHA picture puzzle that stood unsolved. Every path to a form (dashboard, claim URL, formspree deploy with a key) runs through that account, so our agent never reached verification, a key or a form of its own; an unauthenticated POST just returned FORM_NOT_FOUND. Paying and cancelling were never reached either, since Formspree sells Professional and Business only after the same gated sign-up, with no cancel API documented. Docs stand out for an agent reading them: llms.txt with a claim-URL guide, and help articles served as Markdown.
