AI Agent – TRMNL

Summary

Writing code is cool, but wouldn't it be cooler to type "build me a plugin showing populations around the world" and it Just Worked? ​ Now you can. Requirements This feature is in public beta. Agent currently requires an API Key from OpenRouter. You can load credits on their billing portal. ​ ​Alternatively, if you have a Claude API account with higher rate limits you can buy credits directly and use an Anthropic API Key. Optionally, a free Tavily API key can give your agent access to web search and web page fetching, enhancing your agents capabilities. In the near future you'll be able to purchase credits directly from TRMNL.

How it works TRMNL has developed a comprehensive system prompt written in plain English, which describe our platform's capabilities and design patterns in depth. Whenever you interface with the Agent inside our private plugin interface, the agent has access to this context, which you may even ask it about. ​ In addition, the agent has been given access to a range of tools, including markup editing, settings updates, data refreshing, internet search, and a list of API endpoints to name a few. This empowers and grounds the agent in the "real world" to add value to your experience.
