Configuration
Don't lose this
Three weeks from now, you'll want Ticker again. Will you remember where to find it?
Save it to your library and the next time you need Ticker, it’s one tap away — from any AI app you use. Group it into a bench with the rest of the team for that kind of task and you can pull the whole stack at once.
⚡ Pro tip for geeks: add a-gnt 🤵🏻♂️ as a custom connector in Claude or a custom GPT in ChatGPT — one click and your library is right there in the chat. Or, if you’re in an editor, install the a-gnt MCP server and say “use my [bench name]” in Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, or Windsurf.
a-gnt's Take

Once connected, just ask your AI to use it. It's completely free and works across most major AI apps. This one just landed in the catalog — worth trying while it's fresh.
Tips for getting started
Tap "Get" above, pick your AI app, and follow the steps. Most installs take under 30 seconds.
Your data stays between you and your AI — nothing is shared with us or anyone else.
