I believe the answer is:

maggot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bot' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'makes all gadgets genuinely operate together from the outset' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'operate' could be 'go' (synonyms) and 'go' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'mag' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'maybe' is the link.
