Do I need to know how to code?

No coding required. You describe what you want in plain English—for example, "search PubMed weekly for clinical studies on sleep physiology and write a summary to a Google Doc"—and Twin builds the agent. You can adjust the schedule and output format through the same interface.

Can my Nih Gov agent run on a schedule?

Scheduled runs are a core feature. Agents used with NIH.gov commonly run daily or weekly—pulling fresh study data, compiling summaries, and writing results to Google Docs or Sheets without any manual trigger. You set the cadence when you configure the agent.

Which Nih Gov agents in the Twin community can I clone?

Scroll up to the Nih Gov agents grid — every card shows usage stats, so you can clone the one with the closest fit and adapt it from there. Cloning is faster than starting empty and the agent comes pre-wired to Nih Gov.

What does it cost to run a Nih Gov agent on Twin?

Pricing for Nih Gov agents follows Twin's standard usage-based model; Nih Gov itself does not carry a per-integration fee. Light hourly Nih Gov jobs fit the free tier; heavier scheduled jobs move onto the paid plans.

How it works

Three steps from idea to a running Nih Gov agent.

1

Connect via OAuth

Sign in to Nih Gov 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 Nih Gov. 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 Nih Gov responds in unexpected ways.

Why Twin for Nih Gov

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

No reliable way to repeat NIH searches

Running the same database query weekly, extracting consistent fields, and dropping results into a document is tedious to do manually and easy to skip. Twin runs the query on schedule and writes the output to the same place every time.

Stale data from manual copying

When researchers copy NIH results by hand into spreadsheets or docs, the data is already hours old and fields get missed. Twin pulls directly from NIH and writes structured output, so the record reflects what was actually retrieved.

API and browser fallback built in

NIH exposes structured data through APIs, but some views require navigating the browser interface. Twin handles both—using API access where available and browser steps when the structured endpoint doesn't cover what's needed.
