Aident AI is an agentic automation editor. Describe what you want in plain English and Aiden turns it into a Playbook that compiles into scripts + prompts. Connect 250+ tools and keep updating the automation through chat as your process changes.

Hi I'm one of the builders! Excited to an early version of Aident AI with you all.

Behind the scene, we built a Skill Platform to smoothly integrate highly reliable code execution with intelligent LLM reasoning. Each Playbook doc is compiled into a mix of skills and prompts, so that the repetitive actions are automatically handled by skills with deterministic logic + integrations, and LLM calls are kicked in only when advanced reasoning is needed. With that, we see huge increase in accuracy & speed, and significant decrease in token cost.

Comment highlights

You lose some low-level control, but I think that’s a fair tradeoff if the goal is reliability for non-technical users.

I’ve used Zapier and Make before. This feels less flexible, but also way less confusing. I didn’t have to think about which block to add next, which I kind of like. Congratulations on the launch!

Congrats on the launch! Really like the Playbook approach, mixing deterministic skills with LLM reasoning feels like a smart way to avoid fragile automations.

Interesting approach. How do you handle long-running state and behavioural consistency when automations evolve over time? Especially when prompts change but the system is expected to remain stable.

The “edit automations through chat as the process changes” part stands out. Most automation tools break the moment reality shifts. Turning intent into an evolving playbook instead of a fixed workflow feels like the right direction for agentic systems. Curious to see how teams handle guardrails and versioning as these playbooks grow.

Congrats team! Been messing with Aident for a while. Highly inspiring platform for sure

Cool angle. Describe it, get a Playbook. The compile-to scripts+prompts bit stands out. I've been burned by flaky LLM automations, so deterministic skills sounds sane. Curious about failure handling and auth across tools. Will try on my weekly report flow.

The ‘Describe what you want’ angle is appealing, lets see how it goes. Congrats on the launch though 👏🏻

I like the idea of skills doing the boring, repeatable stuff and LLMs stepping in only when real reasoning is needed.
Feels much more practical than pure prompt chains. Was that the main motivation behind the platform?

I work in marketing, and the role-based scenarios make more sense than generic workflows. Interesting product.

I know many people love N8N, but N8N is not for me.

Aident is fantastic because it's quite straightforward and dead simple to get started, if you are a productivity enthusiast and want to build your own automations even if you don't have any technical knowledge, Aident could be your choice.

Good luck with the launch, Aident team!

Hey everyone, I’m Luke, one of the builders here at Aident AI. I’m genuinely excited to finally share this launch with my colleagues and see you try what we’ve been working on for the past months.

The idea for Aident came from a very real pain point. Since the beginning of my degree, I’ve been constantly overwhelmed by the amount of information, tools, and repetitive processes I had to manage every day. Even with so-called “automation” tools, a lot of the work was still manual, fragile, or just mentally exhausting. That frustration is what pushed us to ask: what if automation were truly AI-native from the ground up?

With Aident, I can now build playbooks that closely mirror my real-world workflows, then let Aiden, our agent, execute them for me in a multi-Agent framework consistently and reliably. Instead of babysitting processes, I describe what I want, and the system handles the rest with much higher determinism and quality than what I could manage manually.

A concrete example: I’ve built a playbook that automatically pulls relevant emails and customer data from multiple spreadsheets, then sends hundreds of personalized check-in emails in one run. What used to take hours of context switching now takes a single click by Aident.

This launch is just the beginning, but we’re excited to put Aident in your hands and learn from how you use it. Thanks for being here and for supporting us, please make sure to let us know your feedback, and we will move on from there to shape what we build next.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!

I’m Kimi, founder of Aident AI. Super excited to finally share this with you all today.

To be honest, this is a product that I, as a user, have always dreamed of and believed in, even before the ChatGPT moment. I thought this would have been built by existing automation companies, but after a couple years of waiting, I say, FK it! The best way to predict the future is to build it. So, here I am!

This all starts from a frustration I personally experienced when I cold-started my previous startup. I used RPA + Zapier + ChatGPT to automate my outreach pipeline, but it kept breaking and it was really hard to keep it up with my pace of adjusting the outreaching strategy. As an engineer at core, I see something is broken:

AI is smart enough to get a lot done, but we still lack a bridge to communicate and collaborate with them efficiently to get real jobs done. There must be a better way than drag-n-dropping a workflow or coding+deploying your own scripts. The current tools are still pre-AI and especially hard to use for my non-technical friends.

My team and I want to make a difference.

We built Aident as an agentic automation platform, helping users to build automations using Natural Language. Our agent, Aiden, helps you turn your idea into a comprehensive document, called Playbook. You can collaborate with Aiden to make followup changes, either to be more detailed for more precise execution or intentionally more ambiguous to leverage AI intelligence. Also, Aident can integrate with 250+ tools so that you can easily build your workflows across the products you already use.

This is very much a v0 we built along with our early users. We'd really appreciate that you try and tolerate it if breaks. We have a special 50% off Founding User Discount for the first 200 that you can grab today.

Let me know if you like it, hate it, or just sparked some idea - we truly want to hear it all. If you kinda see something special about it, give us an upvote, too!

Thank you so much for checking it out. Happy to answer anything in the comments 🙏

Hey! I'm Edward, designer @ aident.ai Happy to finally share this on Product Hunt 😊.

As a designer, I care less about “jobs running” and more about whether automation actually helps someone get work off their plate.

What we’re working on next is mostly around that:

  • Making the editor way easier to use, especially when you’re trying to explain real scenarios to Aiden

  • Adding more integrations and skills so it learns from how people actually use it, not just static setups

  • A Command Center that helps you see what’s really happening in your automations, and improve them

  • Native clients so you can build, review, or run things quickly, even locally or on the go

  • And a lot more templates — honestly this is a big one, so our users can start fast and see value early

We’re also planning some brand updates, to better match where the product is going.

Still early days, and a lot of what comes next is shaped directly by how people are actually using it.
