# automatebusinessnow

> One bearer token. Every ABN employee, every ABN workflow, every autonomous agent. One credit balance powers the web app, your scripts, and your AI agents. Failed jobs auto-refund.

automatebusinessnow is a programmable AI workforce. Agents call our REST API or MCP server to run text employees (copywriter, financial-analyst, etc.), generate images and voice through ABN workflows, transcribe audio, and invoke autonomous Tier-2 agents. Customers call ABN services; ABN handles model/runtime execution behind the service boundary. Every call is metered in credits against a single balance.

## How to use a key correctly

- Call ABN service endpoints with documented intent fields, e.g. /images with { prompt, aspectRatio, quality, style }.
- Keep root abn_* keys on your backend; mint scoped abnct_* client tokens for browser/mobile flows.
- Do not invent routing fields. Fields like modelId, provider, and vendorApiKey are not part of the standard app API.
- Platform rules live at https://automatebusinessnow.com/aup.

## Connect via MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, anything MCP-aware)

URL: https://automatebusinessnow.com/api/v1/mcp
Auth: Authorization: Bearer abn_YOUR_KEY_HERE
Mode: stateless, JSON-response Streamable HTTP

Drop into your client's mcp.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "abn": {
      "url": "https://automatebusinessnow.com/api/v1/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer abn_YOUR_KEY_HERE" }
    }
  }
}

Tools exposed (ABN capabilities): chat, image_generate, voice_synthesize, jobs_status, credits_get, agent_invoke.

## Connect via OpenAPI (Custom GPT, Claude Action, agent frameworks)

OpenAPI 3.1 spec: https://automatebusinessnow.com/api/v1/openapi
Auth: Bearer (Authorization header).

ChatGPT GPT builder -> Configure -> Actions -> Import URL -> paste the OpenAPI URL -> set auth as API Key, Bearer.

## Connect via direct HTTPS

Base URL: https://automatebusinessnow.com/api/v1
Auth: Authorization: Bearer abn_YOUR_KEY_HERE
Content-Type: application/json
Every JSON response is shaped { "ok": true|false, "creditsUsed": ..., "balance": ..., ... }.

ABN-capability endpoints (default for every key - your one key powers your whole app):
- POST /chat                  - text employees (copywriter, business-consultant, customer-service, etc.)
- GET  /employees             - valid employee slugs + scope/access metadata
- POST /code/chat             - ABN Coder (same engine as /coder + Studio)
- POST /images                - generate image (intent fields: prompt, aspectRatio, quality, style)
- POST /voice/synthesize      - text-to-speech (streaming, voice-agent ready)
- POST /voice/transcribe      - speech-to-text (multipart)
- POST /agents/{id}/invoke    - invoke an autonomous Tier-2 agent
- POST /tokens/mint           - mint a short-lived abnct_* browser/mobile token from a parent abn_* key
- POST /tokens/revoke         - revoke a client token by id
- GET  /tokens/list           - list active client tokens
- GET  /credits               - current balance
- GET  /status                - public health check (no auth)

Client tokens (abnct_*):
- Root `abn_live_*` keys are BACKEND ONLY. Never embed in browser/mobile binaries.
- Mint short-lived (15 min default, 24 h max), origin-bound, end-user-attributed
  abnct_* tokens via POST /tokens/mint from your server.
- Hand the abnct_* token to your frontend; it calls /api/v1/* with that token.
- Tokens carry a subset of the parent's scopes + a required allowed_origins list.
- end_user_id is required at mint - ABN attributes spend per end-user-id.

## Pricing & safety

- Per-key burn cap: 100,000 credits / 60 seconds -> auto-revoke + email owner.
- Per-key, per-tier rate limits return 429 with Retry-After.
- Every successful response: { creditsUsed, balance }. Failed jobs auto-refund.
- Top-ups never expire. Plan credits refresh monthly.
- /chat supports stream=true for text/event-stream. Use latencyProfile="website_chat" + responseFormat="plain_text" for website chat widgets.
- Responses include requestId + latencyMs; send X-Request-ID to make ABN echo your trace id.
