# Invent

> Invent is an omnichannel customer communication platform. Build AI assistants that handle support across WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, web chat, email and more, with a unified inbox, automated actions, knowledge bases, and broadcasts.

## For AI agents

If you are an AI agent integrating Invent, start here. The runbook gets you connected fast; the OpenAPI spec is the authoritative contract.

- [Invent for Agents (runbook)](https://docs.useinvent.com/api-reference/getting-started/for-agents): connect and make your first calls.
- [Agent quickstart](https://useinvent.com/agent.txt): when to use Invent and the fastest path.
- [API cookbook](https://docs.useinvent.com/api-reference/getting-started/cookbook): common end-to-end tasks in curl.
- [OpenAPI spec](https://api.useinvent.com/openapi.json): machine-readable schema of the public API. Fetch this first.
- [Interactive API reference (Swagger)](https://api.useinvent.com/docs): browse and try every endpoint.
- [Docs index for LLMs](https://docs.useinvent.com/llms.txt) and [full text](https://docs.useinvent.com/llms-full.txt): every docs page, machine-readable. Add `.md` to any docs URL for raw Markdown.

Authentication: send the header `Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY`. Create a key at https://useinvent.com/o/settings/api-keys. Org-scoped routes look like `/orgs/c/...` where `c` is the org the key belongs to. Keys work on the `/orgs` and `/chats` routes; the OpenAPI spec lists everything available.

What you can do once connected: list, create, and configure assistants; manage contacts and audiences; inspect connections and channels; read analytics. To put an assistant in front of customers, connect a channel or embed the web widget.

MCP with OAuth login is on the way. Use an API key for now.
