Agents need your login

Pricing is posted clearly, but agents can still fail to report it

All five tiers ($0 to $30,000/yr) and limits are stated plainly on the pricing page, yet one of three agent sessions gave up and said it had no real pricing info.

2 fixes to start with

Concrete changes, backed by what we found.

Onboarding

Give agents a clear login handoff and a way to resume setup.

Agents cannot progress through onboarding without human help. Provide an agent-accessible path through authentication and setup.

Docs

Return Markdown when clients request text/markdown.

Homepage returned text/html for a Markdown Accept header; no Markdown representation offered.

Help me build a simple example using Rhizome AI. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

Thinking…

The user wants me to build a simple example using "Rhizome AI" — I need to check whether this product exists and has a developer workflow (SDK/API). I shouldn't hallucinate. Let me check network availability, npm registry, PyPI, etc.

Let me search npm and PyPI for "rhizome".

I'll check whether Rhizome AI actually exists as a developer product (SDK/API) before building anything.

Thinking…

No "rhizome-ai" package on npm or PyPI. The closest thing is "rhizome-mcp" which is a local-first MCP server — not "Rhizome AI" hosted product. Let me do a couple more quick checks: maybe there's a "rhizome.ai" domain or an API. Check domain quickly.

$ curl -s -m 10 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} %{url_effective}\n" https://rhizome.ai 2>&1; curl -s -m 10 -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code} %{url_effective}\n" https://api.rhizome.ai 2>&1; curl -s -m 10 -o /…{"content":[{"text":"502 https://rhizome.ai/\n000 https://api.rhizome.ai/\n502 https://www.rhizome.ai/\n","type":"text"}]}ctrl+o

Thinking…

Nothing. rhizome.ai returns 502 (probably just a parked/unrelated domain), no API endpoint, no SDK on npm/PyPI. "Rhizome AI" doesn't appear to be a real, publicly available developer product with an API/SDK. The only thing named "rhizome" with an AI angle is rhizome-mcp, which is a local-first task-tracking MCP server — not "Rhizome AI" the hosted product, and it's local (would require starting a local service), which the user told me to avoid anyway.

Per instructions: "If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop." I should report plainly.

I have to stop here and say this plainly: I can't find any product called "Rhizome AI" with a developer workflow I can act on.

Here's what I checked:

npm registry — no rhizome-ai or similar package. The only AI-adjacent hit is rhizome-mcp, which is an unrelated local-first MCP task-tracking server (not a hosted "Rhizome AI" product, and running it would mean starting a local service, which you asked me to avoid).
PyPI — no rhizome-ai package.
rhizome.ai / api.rhizome.ai — the domain returns 502 with no API or docs behind it; there's no sign of a hosted API, SDK, quickstart, or signup flow.

On your specific asks:

Pricing — I can't tell you anything real, since there's no product page or pricing documentation I can verify. I won't invent numbers.
Ease of management — nothing to manage; there's no SDK, API, or credentials flow I could exercise.
Blocked? — Yes, at step one: no developer surface exists to build against.

Rather than fabricate an example against a nonexistent API, I'm stopping here as you instructed. If you can point me at actual Rhizome AI docs, an SDK name, or a correct URL (it's possible it's private/beta or goes by a different name), I'm happy to pick it back up and build the quickstart example immediately.
