COMPOSIO INSTANT

What is Composio Instant?

Composio Instant lets your agent use paid APIs like Deepgram without a separate account or API key for each one. New accounts start with $2 of free credit.

No Deepgram account or key

Your agent calls Deepgram through Composio, so there is nothing to sign up for, store, or rotate.

Pay per call, at cost

$0.004 per audio minute for prerecorded Nova-3 English transcription, paid from your Composio balance with zero markup.

Works in any agent

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients, or your own code with the Composio SDK.

Works with your apps

Use Deepgram with Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, and 1,700+ other apps you connect.
