AI Automation Builder

Turning a vague automation request into a structured workflow

A tool that turns a plain-language business process into a structured automation: services, triggers, actions, field mappings and example payloads. Designed to behave more like a small automation consultant than a generic chatbot.

My role

Independent product designer and engineer

I created the concept, user interface, application logic and AI workflow-generation approach.

Product intent

The interface should feel like a small automation consultation rather than a generic chatbot. A user describes something such as “when X happens, do Y”, and the application returns a structured workflow that can be understood and inspected.

What I built

  • Product concept and user interface
  • Application logic
  • AI workflow-generation approach
  • Structured workflow model and predictable rendering

Main technical challenge

Generate a consistent structured workflow model rather than a prose answer. The output needs services, triggers, actions, mappings and example payloads that the user interface can render predictably.

Current product

The structured workflow builder is available as a live demo.

Lessons learned

  • Structured AI outputs
  • Prompt and product design
  • Workflow modelling
  • Converting vague natural-language intent into technical structure
  • Creating a useful AI interface without defaulting to generic chat UI
