What it is

Build apps and automations that run operations with AI agents.

Real use case example

"A founder wants to automate the welcome process for new customers signing up on their Stripe account. They create an automation in this tool, linking it to Notion and Resend. Once set up, the automation adds the new customer's details to Notion and sends a welcome email automatically."

Do this with a working workflow

Pages we wrote and tested that put a skill like this to work — importable n8n templates, outcome guides and Claude Desktop configs.

Outcome guide

Turn meeting notes into a summary email automatically

Paste the transcript into a private form and the workflow writes and emails a concise recap — decisions, owners, open questions — that people will actually read.

Free n8n template

Abandoned Cart Win-Back

Draft a personalized, non-pushy win-back email for every abandoned cart — referencing the exact product left behind. You approve before sending.

Outcome guide

Triage your inbox automatically

The workflow watches your inbox and classifies each new email by priority with a one-line reason and a draft reply, logging everything to a ranked sheet. You open your day to a triaged list, not a pile.
