Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe the workflow in plain English—something like "check my repo for new issues each morning and post a summary to Slack"—and Twin builds the agent. You can adjust it by describing changes, not by editing code.

Can my GitHub agent run on a schedule?

Scheduling is a core part of how Twin agents work. You can set an agent to run daily, hourly, or on whatever cadence fits your workflow—useful for issue digests, trending repo reports, or standup drafts that need to appear at a consistent time.

Which GitHub entities can an agent work with?

Agents can work with repositories, issues, pull requests, deployments, incidents, logs, webhooks, and API keys—the main entities exposed through GitHub's platform. If a specific field or page isn't available via API, Twin can fall back to browser-based steps.

What can a Twin agent do with HN search results?

Agents can search HN via Algolia, filter results by date, score, or keyword, and then write structured output to Google Sheets, Google Docs, or other connected tools. They can also combine HN data with other sources like Product Hunt or arXiv in one run.

Explore
Mirror Hn state back into GitHub

Keep GitHub records aligned with what is actually happening in Hn, with the agent reconciling differences on a schedule you set.
Explore
Build agents that span GitHub and Hn

Describe the cross-tool workflow in plain English; the agent calls both GitHub and Hn with the right auth and retries between them.
Explore
Trigger Hn actions from GitHub events

Watch GitHub for the change you care about, then have the agent act in Hn — with full context preserved across the hop.

How it works

Three steps from idea to a running GitHub and Hn agent.

1

Connect via OAuth

Sign in to GitHub and Hn once. Twin securely manages the connection and handles token refreshes for you.
2

Describe the workflow

Tell Twin in plain English what you want done in GitHub and Hn. The agent figures out the API calls itself.
3

Twin builds and runs

Twin assembles the agent, runs it on demand or on a schedule, and adapts when GitHub and Hn responds in unexpected ways.

Why Twin for GitHub and Hn

What makes Twin a better fit than a generic automation tool.

One agent, two platforms, no glue code

Wiring GitHub and Hn together usually means a Zap, a script, or a webhook to maintain. Twin runs the agent end to end across both, so you describe the outcome instead of the plumbing.

Auth that stays out of your way

Twin handles GitHub and Hn credentials, refresh tokens, and rate limits. You connect once and the agent reuses both sessions on every run, including when the platforms change behavior under it.

Adapts when either side shifts

When GitHub or Hn changes a field, surface a new screen, or rotates an endpoint, Twin's runner adjusts at run time and reports back instead of failing the next scheduled job.
