About this integration

Connect Metaphor to Definable to route to the best model per task, mix providers in one workflow, fall back on rate-limits. Personas call Metaphor's 1 tools directly from chat or scheduled flows. Add it to your persona's available models and route requests to it where it fits best.

Connect Metaphor to Definable and it becomes a set of typed tools your agents plan with — triggered by events, run on schedules, or invoked mid-conversation. Every write is checked by the verifier before it lands.

What teams actually run.

Three patterns teams run with Metaphor on day one. Each one is a plain-English prompt — no canvas, no glue code — and you can remix them into anything.

Multi-provider routing

│ Persona decides which model fits

│ Calls this provider when its strengths apply

└ Falls back to alternatives on rate-limits

Specialised pipeline

│ Use this provider for one stage

│ Pipe to a different model for the next

└ Combine outputs in the response

1 tools available
