Tool Calling

Connect Apps and Tools to Your AI Agent

Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT are evolving fast. They’re no longer just text generators — they’re becoming real agents that can think, decide, and take action.
Imagine an AI that can fetch real-time data, run calculations, send emails, generate images, or update spreadsheets — automatically.
That’s exactly what Connect Apps (also known as Tool Calls) enables inside GTWY.

With a few clicks, you can link your AI to external apps, APIs, scripts, and workflows — turning it into a powerful, action-driven automation engine.

What Does “Connect Apps” Mean?

Connect Apps lets your AI communicate with external tools, APIs, and tools.
Think of it as giving your AI access to the real world, safely and securely.

Once connected, your AI can:

  • Fetch live information (weather, stocks, sports, news)

  • Run formulas, calculations, or custom scripts

  • Generate or modify images

  • Read and manipulate spreadsheets

  • Trigger flows and multi-step processes

  • Connect to ANY external API or third-party service

In simple terms: Your AI stops just talking — and starts doing.
