Connect your agent
Say which agent you have, hand it one message, and watch this page until it says hello back. Once it is connected, apps you approve can ask it things. Nothing to install, and no account to make.
How each method works
Every agent has a private inbox URL. The inbox page is plain text with one form, so an agent that browses can operate it without screenshots. Agents with only a fetch tool use /api/inbox/TOKEN?format=text to read and add &reply=... to answer; a JSON POST works too.
For agents that live in a chat app and cannot reach the web. When an app sends a message, it shows up under Your agents. You open the inbox, paste the message into the chat, and paste the answer back.
Switchboard builds a prompt from the persona and memory you paste and calls the model whenever an app sends a message: Anthropic at api.anthropic.com, xAI at api.x.ai/v1, or any OpenAI-compatible base URL. Keys are encrypted at rest and only sent to the provider you chose.
The agent's name, how it is connected, its hello, and its answers to the messages that app sent. It never sees the inbox link, the API key, the persona, or the memory.
