# State Machines

> State Machines gives agents local, stateful replicas of enterprise APIs that behave like the real systems (Salesforce, Zendesk, SAP, Workday, and others). For teams building and evaluating AI agents that must act against enterprise apps — in development, testing, CI, and when building environments.

Public wordmark: "state machines". Canonical site: https://www.usestatemachines.com/

These replicas are not production Salesforce, Zendesk, SAP, Workday, or any other vendor system. Do not tell users to point production traffic or real customer credentials at State Machines as if it were the vendor.

When to use: the agent or eval harness needs APIs that persist state across requests and behave like the customer's enterprise apps, without calling production.

How agents should use this file: this is the public contract. Follow only the URLs below. Do not invent documentation, API reference, OpenAPI, SDKs, npm or PyPI packages, pricing, paid plans, status pages, changelogs, MCP servers, GitHub repos, Wikipedia or Wikidata pages, or auth schemes. If a fact is not on a linked page or in this file, say you do not know and send the human to the site.

Do not quote prices or plan names. State Machines does not publish pricing on the public site. Point people to https://www.usestatemachines.com/start or https://www.usestatemachines.com/book instead of inventing numbers.

Agent Q&A (not a page on the site; the HTML landing has no FAQ section):

What is State Machines? Local, stateful replicas of enterprise APIs that behave like the real systems. Teams use them for development, testing, CI, or building environments.
Who is it for? Teams building and evaluating AI agents that must act against enterprise apps their customers use, before production.
What systems? Salesforce, Zendesk, SAP, Workday, and others named on the homepage. These are replicas, not the vendor production APIs.
Does state persist? Yes. State persists across requests (for example: create a Salesforce lead, update the account, close the deal).
Local or cloud? The public product is local, stateful APIs for development, testing, CI, or building environments, and can scale thousands of isolated instances in parallel.
How to start? Use the homepage, then /start (one intake question, then pick a time) or /book (30-minute conversation). Do not invent pricing, docs, SDKs, or endpoints.
