Its strongest pillar is Velocity Triggers (6/10): the free tier and self-serve API keys allow an agent to begin using the platform without a human gate. However, the absence of /llms.txt, schema.org markup, a published OpenAPI spec, and any audit trail means that AI agents cannot discover, evaluate, or verify NexusGPT programmatically.
