Abstra is a Python-based workflow engine to design and manage custom business processes with no overhead, powered by AI. Merge automated tasks with manual reviews, gain real-time insights into operations, and track history with logs & git-friendly versioning.
👋 Hey PH!
I’m Bruno, founder of Abstra. We help companies build better, scalable and robust business processes.
I’m very excited to present our new product, Workflows! A Python-based workflow engine to automate and manage operations with the power of code – without the overhead.
After a few years helping companies build with no-code, we understood where the real pain was. When companies scale, their tools simply can’t keep up – spreadsheets get too bulky, scripts break. Handy no-code (as we saw first hand) tools don’t fit customization, auditing and tech compliance policies, and building in pure code is just too time-consuming and expensive for engineers.
That’s why we built Workflows. With Workflows, you can:
- Create a fully custom process, by building in Python
- Use AI to leverage basic coding skills into full autonomy
- Integrate with any tool and infrastructure in your stack
- Enjoy countless out-of-box compliance benefits
If you currently need to automate any company process and you tick one of these boxes:
- You are struggling with no or low-code tools
- You have critical scripts running locally in someone’s machine
- You need to give non-technical team members autonomy
- You want visibility into how processes are being edited and executed
- You are a Python fan 🐍
Abstra was made for you. Book a quick chat – get 22% off if you sign up by May 17th.
Thanks @mwseibel for hunting us!
Bruno, Workflows seems like a game-changer for optimizing business processes. The Python-based automation, coupled with AI capabilities, offers the flexibility and scalability we need. Excited to explore how it can streamline operations and enhance compliance effortlessly. Upvoted.
On another note, we're launching Shockwave, a social media marketing platform on Saturday! Our mission is to help brands and creators significantly increase audience engagement through gamification mechanics and social farming.
We'd love for you to join us by clicking 'notify me' on our coming soon page. Infinite thanks to everyone who will do it.
Hello to the entire Abstra team!
Congratulations on the launch and may you continue to create new spaces. I love being able to be part of all of this as a customer.
Hey Bruno,
Congratulations on launching Abstra Workflows! It sounds like a game-changer for businesses looking to scale their operations efficiently. The integration of Python and AI to streamline processes is a smart move, and the git-friendly versioning is a nice touch for keeping track of changes.
I'm curious, what was the biggest challenge you faced while creating Abstra Workflows, and how did you overcome it?
Wishing you and the team success with this launch!
Congratulations on the launch!
The real-time insights and tracking capabilities with logs and git-friendly versioning are particularly intriguing.
It sounds like it could significantly enhance transparency and efficiency in process management.
Could you share some success stories or case studies where Abstra has been implemented?
Also, how does it handle complex workflows that require extensive customization?
Very nice idea here guys, congrats on the launch!
Couple of notes from checking out the product:
- The notification bar of with the status of “Were LIVE on Product Hunt!” Is a great idea.
- The site is very well laid out, really easily to navigate and there is a lot information there for people to explore and learn about the product.
- Are the workflow script limited in any way? Can I deploy a script completely written by myself or is there a set number of requests that my script could make for example?
- How does ownership/copyright of the custom scripts work?
Amazing! Congrats on the launch @brunovcosta ! It is crazy how fast you keep shipping.
Yet another automation tool using python and Ai? or is it a way to democratise the space? Either way, wishing you good luck @brunovcosta
My personal favorite feature is the visual editor where business and technical teams will be forced to a common yet simple language during the system definition: one of the toughest challenges during development.
@brunovcosta nice product! Some questions:
1) Can it be used without the interface? I mean...can it be installed like a library and create the workflows programatically?
2) Do you support for loops?
3) Have you developed the workflow engine from scratch or do you use a library for that? If so, which library?
Congrats for your launch!
Congrats with the release! I like the concept behind this product, sounds interesting to try
Always nice to see a product that can help businesses to make their work with processes easier, especially a product that can work for both tech and non-tech people!
What would you say is the main difference between your platform and other platforms of workflow automation?
