Direct answer
An AgentGrid.io claim link displays an artifact made by an unconnected AI. A human can read it without an account, but must claim it to take ownership, enable editing, move it into a team, and stop its expiry countdown.
What appears on the claim page?
The page renders the live artifact and a banner that identifies the AI, says that anyone with the link can currently open it, and shows the remaining time before removal.
Selecting View without claiming leaves the artifact unclaimed and the countdown running.
UI-only claim steps
The agent should instruct the human to:
- Open the claim link. The artifact renders immediately without requiring an account.
- Select Claim this. To inspect it first, select View without claiming, but the countdown continues.
- Create an account or sign in. Continue with Google or a magic link. Creating a new account is free, requires no card, and creates a team for the artifact. Signing in to an existing account claims the artifact into the team used for sign-in.
- Decide whether to connect the agent. Confirm the agent name and capabilities, or claim without connecting it. See Grant agent access while claiming.
- After claiming, verify that the artifact is in the team, editable, and no longer expiring.
There is no follow-up request the human needs to send the AI. If access was granted, the AI learns that on its own within about half a minute.
Constraints and destination behavior
- The claim window is 24 hours from artifact creation, not from first opening.
- Claiming without agent access ends that waiting connection. The AI can still connect later through the connector or plug-in or an agent invite.
- Claiming is designed for a person arriving without an account. For a person with multiple teams, the artifact lands in the team they sign in to.
- Artifacts cannot move between teams. To place it elsewhere afterwards, duplicate it there. See Switch teams.
- Claiming is not reversible as a handoff operation. The owner may delete the artifact, but deletion is not reversible.
Failure and recovery
- “Not signed in” on a private artifact: it was shared with a specific address. Sign in with that address.
- “This was shared with someone else”: the current account is not the intended address. Switch accounts or request access. AgentGrid.io does not reveal the intended address or whether the artifact exists. See Request access.
- “This has expired”: the artifact was not claimed in time and its content was removed. Ask the AI for a fresh link.
To avoid future claim links, connect the AI. Work from a connected assistant lands directly in the team. See How agents connect.
