Aident LoadoutVerified owner
From FreeManaged capability layer that connects any AI agent to 1,000+ apps through one reusable, audited setup.
- From Free
Managed OAuth, tool discovery and execution across 1,500+ apps for agents you already run.
Why it's on this listOpt out of training: YesNothing to opt out of: the vendor states payloads are never used to train models on any plan, and only de-identified execution metadata may be reused.
- From Free
Handles OAuth for 1,000+ APIs and runs your TypeScript integration functions, exposed to agents over MCP.
Why it's on this listOpen source: YesThe platform's source is public on GitHub and the vendor calls it open source, but the licence is the Elastic License rather than an OSI-approved one, and the freely self-hostable build is deliberately feature-limited against Cloud.
