Anyone else seeing AI by Zapier steps fail across the board right now? All my AI by Zapier actions are returning "API is experiencing technical issues" - underlying response is a 404 from their "Hands Free AI API" endpoint. The lightning bolt icons next to all native AI models have also disappeared from my action selector. Affecting multiple Zaps. Status page says operational. Using native Zapier AI integration (no connected OpenAI/Anthropic account). Already opened a support ticket. Posting here in case anyone else is affected or has a workaround.

I also experienced an outage this afternoon, but it appears to be back up and running!
