Your first automation, written and working.
Aident AI lets you build workflow automations by describing them in plain English. Instead of wiring up flowcharts or writing code, you tell Aiden — the AI assistant in the editor — what you want done. Aiden turns it into a Playbook you can run on demand, on a schedule, or when something happens in another app.

​
Who It’s For

Aident is built for people who do the work, not the plumbing. If you can write a task out in a short paragraph, you can automate it.

Operators and ops leads

Recurring reports, handoffs, and check-ins that keep teams running.

Founders and small teams

Stitching together the handful of apps you already use, without hiring an engineer.

Sales, support, and marketing

Inbox triage, follow-ups, digests, and data entry that eat up your week.

Anyone tired of copy-paste

If the same steps show up every day, a playbook can take them over.

​
What It Looks Like

When you open Aident, you’ll see three main surfaces in the left sidebar.

Home

The big input where you describe a new automation. This is how every playbook begins.

Dashboard

All your playbooks, their current status, and a log of recent runs.

Connections

Sign in to the apps your playbooks use, plus channels, MCP extensions, and sandboxes.
Your credit balance and the Upgrade button sit in the header, so you always know where you stand.

​
The Playbook

Every automation you build is a Playbook. Open one and you’ll see three stacked sections on the canvas.

🎯 Goal

What you want done, and how you’ll know it worked.

⚙️ Integrations

The apps your playbook needs — auto-discovered from your Steps.

📄 Plan

An Input card, the ordered Steps, and an Output card.
Aiden drafts the first version from your description. You edit it directly, or ask Aiden in the side chat to rework anything. See Playbooks for the full tour.

​
What You Can Automate

Summarize daily emails into a Slack digest, auto-reply to common questions, or route important messages to the right person.
Pull numbers from a few tools into a weekly report, keep a spreadsheet updated, or watch a metric and alert when it crosses a line.
Turn Slack messages or emails into tasks, keep project status in sync across tools, and nudge follow-ups on a schedule.
Research a topic and compile a summary, draft content from a template, or tag and file incoming information.
A good starting description sounds like: “Every morning at 8am, check my Gmail for emails from clients, summarize them, and post the digest in #updates on Slack.”
