Connect Amara to your AI agent
Amara is an online platform that enables users to create, edit, and manage subtitles and captions for videos, facilitating accessibility and multilingual content.
We set up the connection using your own Amara account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.

FAQ
Amara questions, answered.
With a key you create and control. You paste it in once, it is stored in a secrets store on your server, permissions are scoped to the minimum the agent needs, and you can revoke it at any time.
The actions Amara's API allows, the same things a person clicking around the app could do. Connections start read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against the policy you set before the agent takes them.
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included, some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
Standard tools are ready inside 7 business days of the setup call. We test the connection end to end, walk you through how the agent uses it, and watch the first week of activity.
