- 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
Docs answer our agent on their own: llms.txt, markdown pages, a public GraphQL schema, SDK, CLI and an official OAuth MCP server. Sign-up does not. L1 · Needs a person: our agent gets in on its own nowhere. It stopped at signup, where a visible Cloudflare Turnstile challenge sits on the page. The email sign-in path answered "Access blocked, please contact support." With no human to hand over a workspace, no key, call or action followed. Core-api returned Unauthorized with no credentials. Paying and leaving are graded from docs only: a trial without a card and plan changes by API, since no account ever started.

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 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.
