Hey everyone — quick update we're excited about.
There are a lot of automation platforms out there — Zapier, n8n, Make, you name it — but they all have the same problem: you have to build the automation. You sit there picking triggers, dragging actions, writing prompts, figuring out what to connect to what. It’s powerful but it’s manual, and if you’re not already comfortable with that kind of tooling, you bounce.
We’ve seen this with our own users — automations work great once they’re set up, but two things keep tripping people up:
1. Writing the agent prompt properly is hard if you’re not used to it
2. A lot of you have the gut feeling that something in your week could be automated but aren’t sure what
So we built a Setup Helper — a chat that sits next to the new-automation form and does both for you.
It has two modes:
“I know what I want to build” — describe it in plain English (“every Monday email me last week’s revenue”) and it fills in the form: schedule, instructions, connectors, the lot. You just hit Save.
“Help me figure out what to automate” — it reads your business profile, role-plays a typical week for someone in your shoes, and proposes 2–3 specific ideas tied to your actual operations. No generic “weekly Gmail digest” — it’ll suggest things like a 6am prep alert for a restaurant or a Sunday-evening pipeline brief for a SaaS founder.
Video below shows both flows end-to-end. Try it on /automations/new and let me know how it feels — especially if the discovery proposals miss the mark for your business.
