Instruct 2.5 replaces the complex "build loop" with immediate execution. It is an autonomous agent that navigates your apps to get real work done. What's new: ⚡ Watch it work: Describe a task and see the generalist agent execute it live across your stack (Salesforce, Slack, Gmail, etc). 🛠️ Iterate Live: Guide the outcome via chat or upload files to fix issues instantly as they happen. 💾 Save as Workflow: Turn any successful run into a permanent, recurring automation with one click.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Matt here, CEO and co-founder of Instruct!
Not long ago, we launched Instruct with a simple goal: to connect AI to the real work you do every day. The response was incredible, but your feedback highlighted a friction point we were desperate to fix.
If you’ve used tools like n8n or Make, you know the struggle. You have to think in "nodes," "webhooks," and "logic loops"—building a complex flowchart abstractly before you ever see it run. It feels more like systems engineering than automation.
Today, we are launching Instruct 2.5 and we’ve killed that loop.
With last week’s news of Meta acquiring Manus, the industry is finally waking up to the power of autonomous agents. It confirms what we've believed from day one: the future isn't manual workflow building, it's execution.
With Instruct 2.5, we are closing the gap between explaining what you want and watching it actually happen. Here is how the paradigm has shifted:
1. Execution First, Automation Second ⚡ Instead of dragging nodes around a canvas blindly, you start by giving Instruct a one-off task. You watch the agent execute it live across your connected apps (Salesforce, Slack, Gmail, etc.). You see exactly what it’s doing, step-by-step.
2. Iterate Live 🛠️ If the agent hits a snag or needs clarification, you solve it together in real-time. You don't have to restart the process; you just guide it. You can even upload files: spreadsheets, PDFs, docs, etc., for the agent to use immediately.
3. "Save as Workflow" 💾 Once the agent executes the task perfectly, you can turn that session into a reusable workflow with a single message. You aren't guessing if the automation will work—you know it works because you just watched it happen!
Fluent in every workflow
We designed Instruct to adapt to the logic of your specific team. You can ask it to:
Recruiting: "Review the latest applicants in our ATS. Flag anyone with 4+ years of Python experience and add them to the 'Shortlist'."
Sales: "Check HubSpot for stale leads. Research their recent company news on the web and draft a personalized follow-up."
Ops: "Find invoice PDFs in Gmail from this month. Extract the totals to my Expenses sheet and save to Drive."
We’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer your questions. 🚀
Very interesting! And how is the issue of access handled? Do I just write my login and password in the chat and the service remembers them? For example, can I ask it to find and buy a product in a store using my account (meaning your agent would need to log in with my credentials and figure out how to make the purchase)?
Do you support languages other than English for building these agents, or is that on the roadmap?
Natural language as the interface is the right direction. Removing setup complexity is what will unlock real usage for non-technical teams. Curious to see how Instruct handles reliability and edge cases as workflows scale.
Hey Matt, It looks impressive, can I trigger daily task at perticular time using this?
Works good but uses too much credit. I will use more if maybe we can get a fixed price or lower credit usage. Yesterday, just a simple automation to give me an AI news digest used around 20+ credits.
Most automation tools promise simplicity but still expect you to think like a developer. Being able to just explain what you want in plain language and have it actually work is a big shift.
Curious to see what kinds of integrations are supported beyond couple of those workflows. Do you support reddit?
The build AI agents using only natural language angle is strong and very clear. One thought: showing a real 30-second example would help people instantly grasp how powerful Instruct is compared to other no code tools.
Well, I wasn’t sure at first, but I had to go ahead and give it a look see very cool.
I haven’t had the time to look under the hood and keep the tires yet, but I signed up and I’ll have to open this up apparently on my laptop to give transfer maximum efficiency
Very nice, good luck on your lunch
Been burned by "no-code agents" before, but watching it click around Slack/Gmail live is kinda wild. Love the chat-to-fix loop - feels closer to how I work. If it can handle my messy Salesforce perms and save that run as a workflow, I'm in for a spin.
When I first wired up a bunch of integrations in ChatGPT's Agent mode and managed to pull off something pretty impressive, I remember thinking: "I really wish I could run this repeatedly," and also, "The number of Agent-mode runs is pretty limited."
That exact feeling is part of why we built Giselle, and I think Instruct is offering a straightforward, solid solution to a pain point a lot of people share.
Execution First, Automation Second
This really resonates with me. We've taken a similar approach—start by executing with pre-built apps first, then customize afterward (with a no-code editing environment). So reading this definitely struck a chord.
Products like this are genuinely needed. Rooting for you all—excited to see where Instruct goes!
I’ve always struggled with node-based tools, and this feels closer to how I actually think.
Have been following your product roadmap - just curious what are the most frequent user scenarios with Instruct 2.5? Also it will be great to meet the team to discuss more in person in London!
I have tried google app script and google workspace studio for bit of automation in my work. but your tool made automation as easy as chatting with llm.
I’ve tried quite a few AI workflow tools, and honestly, Instruct is the only one I found clear and easy for anyone to use. It actually delivers what most tools promise, without needing a full-onboarding course just to build a simple workflow. Great work, guys!
We're back, Product Hunt! After our last launch, you told us what you wanted, and we listened. Today we're shipping a completely rebuilt Instruct that takes you from idea to working automation in a fraction of the time.
We can't wait to see what you build.
Hi Product Hunt!! ✌️
Instruct 2.5 is here and with it brings a brand new experience, all powered by your feedback (thanks to a successful launch back in October).
We've focused on making it easier to jump straight in with Tasks,describe what you want to achieve and Instruct executes it immediately, using your existing tool stack to get the job done. Iterate back and forth in a chat interface before eventually graduating each task to workflows, automations that run in the background so you can get back to the things that really deserve your attention.
We're so thrilled to be sharing this significant upgrade to Instruct, jump in at https://instruct.ai and let us know how you get on. 🫡
Hey Product Hunt 👋 Super excited to share new version today. This version is a big step up. It is faster, more powerful, and feels way smoother to use. You can watch the agent work live, guide it in the moment, and save the result as a workflow. Would love to hear what you build with it.
Hey Product hunt! I'm Alfie, CTO and co-founder of Instruct. We're incredibly excited to share how we've interlaced Instruct's ability to complete both one-off tasks, and comprehensive, repeatable workflows - please give the platform a go at https://instruct.ai and let us know what you think!
