Flip off the AI.
Keep the automation.
Every connector node runs two ways. Agent Mode lets AI read context and decide. Direct Mode runs the exact call you configured, deterministic and with zero AI credits. Pay for tokens only where judgment earns its keep.
One node, two modes
Build the node once
Configure the connector step the way you always would. The same node supports both modes, so there is nothing extra to set up.
Pick the mode
Toggle Agent Mode when the step needs to think, or Direct Mode when it just needs to run a fixed call.
Mix freely in one workflow
Use agents for the judgment calls and Direct Mode for everything else. A single workflow can do both, step by step.
Predictable by default
Zero AI cost
A Direct Mode step uses no AI credits at all. The only thing that spends tokens is work you chose to run as an agent.
Deterministic
The same inputs produce the same call every time. No model variance, no surprises, easy to reason about.
Same connectors
Direct Mode uses the exact same connectors and tools as Agent Mode. You lose the AI step, not the integration.
Switch per node
The choice is made per step, not per workflow. Tune cost and control exactly where it matters.
Agent when you need it
Keep AI in the steps that benefit from judgment. The toggle makes that an explicit, visible decision.
Transparent billing
Because only agent steps cost credits, your bill maps directly to where you actually used AI.
When you do not need a brain
A known API call
Create the order, update the record, send the message. The arguments are already decided, so skip the AI step.
High-volume steps
Run a step thousands of times with predictable cost, instead of paying tokens on every single execution.
Cost control
Cap spend by keeping AI only in the handful of steps that need it and running the rest in Direct Mode.
Compliance and audit
When a step must be deterministic and explainable, Direct Mode gives you a fixed, auditable call.
Direct Mode vs Agent Mode
Use judgment where it helps, and skip the cost where it does not.
Direct Mode when
- The call is the same every time and needs no judgment
- You run the step at high volume and want predictable cost
- You need a deterministic, auditable result
Agent Mode when
- The arguments depend on context the AI has to read
- The step should adapt or recover on its own
- A human-like decision sits in the middle of the step
Automation, minus the token bill
Start free and build a workflow that mixes agents with zero-cost Direct Mode steps. No card needed.
