How it works

Connected in a minute. In your control after that.

  1. Connect BeatAPI

    Open Connections, find BeatAPI and paste an API key from your BeatAPI account settings. Cicada checks it works before saving it.

  2. Choose what it may do

    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share BeatAPI with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a BeatAPI job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

BeatAPI, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.
