Where DigitalOcean is ahead

DigitalOcean passes llms-full.txt / full agent docs, and Activepieces does not. That is discover, whether an agent can find the product at all without being told it exists.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, limits / constraints documented, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, machine-readable errors, rate-limit behavior predictable. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
