The Aident Approach
Traditional automation tools require you to manually configure each step, handle edge cases, and maintain complex logic. Aident takes a different approach:1
Describe Your Workflow
Write what you want to automate in plain English. Be as specific or general as you like β Aident understands context.
2
Meet Your AI Roster Team
Aident assembles a team of AI agents, each specialized for different parts of your workflow. They collaborate to get things done.
3
Connect Your Tools
Authenticate the integrations your workflow needs β Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, and hundreds more.
4
Run and Refine
Test your automation, provide feedback, and let Aident refine it until it works exactly how you want.
Key Concepts
Before diving in, here are the core concepts youβll work with:Playbook
Your automation, written in plain English. Describes what you want to achieve, who does what, and how they work together.

Agent Team
The AI workers that execute your playbook. Each agent has specific skills and responsibilities.
Integrations
