API2PDF, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your API2PDF account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What API2PDF is
Api2Pdf is a REST API that enables developers to generate PDFs from HTML, URLs, and various document formats using engines like wkhtmltopdf, Headless Chrome, and LibreOffice.
You paste in a key from your own API2PDF account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside API2PDF whenever you like.
