How to use this tool

  1. Connect your AI

    Add Connie to ChatGPT, Claude or Slack once, and this tool comes with it. There’s no API key or account to set up.

  2. Ask for the outcome

    Describe what you need in plain words. Your AI runs this tool when the job calls for it, along with any others it needs.

  3. Make it a workflow

    Add it as a step in a workflow that runs the same way every time, on a schedule or when something happens.

  4. Stay in control

    Choose whether it runs on its own or asks first. When it asks, you see an Allow or Deny card before any credits are spent.
