Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Austin, CEO & Co-Founder of Manaflow, and I'm excited to introduce Manaflow! Manaflow is the simplest way to automate repetitive office work in tables using natural language. With one click, you can execute millions of tasks involving data retrieval, gluing APIs, and taking actions with AI agents.
The Problem 💡
Small and mid-sized business (SMB) operators face the challenge of juggling countless spreadsheets, internal tools, and manual workflows. Throughout America, there are millions of office workers with spreadsheets open, where each column represents a step of a task and each row represents a case of the task. These processes are traditionally manual, time-consuming, and tedious.
Operators often think about automation, but current workflow builders are often too technical or complicated. Witnessing inefficiencies in gluing intermediary tools and barriers to automation led us to Manaflow, aimed at providing SMBs with the same level of automation capability that bigger corporations enjoy.
Today's operations managers program humans to do manual tasks. On Manaflow, these managers shift to programming AI agents instead, using English. Fleets of AI agents own end-to-end workflows, while we oversee them.
Introducing Manaflow 🌟
Manaflow’s interface is a spreadsheet where each column represents an instruction step in the workflow and each row corresponds to an AI agent executing a task. Each spreadsheet has a dependency graph to determine the execution order for each column in the workflow. With the click of a button, AI agents assigned to each row execute tasks in parallel, handling multi-step processes such as data transformation, API calls, content retrieval, and sending messages.
For example, one of our customers uses Manaflow to take in unpolished videos from Google Drive, watermark them with their logo, and email the final products to their clients — hundreds in one click of a button. In the past, they would open up Adobe to watermark each video manually and then manually send emails. Manaflow has cut their 20-hour weekly manual workflow down to minutes.
Internal tools and software are widespread across companies of all sizes today. On Manaflow, AI agents take over the operation of these internal tools, which is traditionally done by humans, and automatically update new states on admin dashboards with humans overseeing the process. The concept of internal tools will change forever with AI agents – instead of building physical internal tools, AI agents will automate processes end-to-end on one consolidated platform.
We're looking forward to hearing your feedback and helping you automate your repetitive processes! You can try out Manaflow for free on manaflow.ai or book a call with us here!
Cheers,
Austin
Yess, we need more of this. Too much repitives tasks should be outsourced, without days of coding solutions.
Congrat!
This sounds intriguing, Austin! Automating workflows using natural language is definitely a game-changer for SMBs. How does the dependency graph work in practice? Are there any limitations on the types of tasks that Manaflow can automate? Looking forward to testing it out!
I love the "Find trucking company" template - quite a few good other use cases in there as well. Lots of boring and small tasks that can be automated with Manaflow. Looks like you can fine tune the template quite a bit with NLP too.
Congrats on the launch @austinywang and team!
Manaflow has been super useful so far for my repetitive tasks! Would recommend checking it out.
Okay, Manaflow sounds really promising! A couple of quick questions -
- Can it handle more complex workflows with multiple dependencies?
- What's the max number of tasks it can automate in parallel?
- Does it integrate with tools like Slack or Trello for updates?
Anyway, good luck with the launch!
Hey Austin, this sounds like a game changer for SMBs! I love the concept of using natural language to automate workflows. But I'm curious, how customizable are these AI agents when it comes to handling complex tasks? Can they adapt to unique business needs without a steep learning curve? Also, are there any specific integrations with common tools like Google Sheets or Slack? Excited to see how Manaflow can simplify those tedious processes! 💼
Impressive launch, Austin! Manaflow seems like a game-changer for SMBs struggling with tedious workflows. The ability to program AI agents using natural language is brilliant! Excited to see how it transforms internal processes for users. Definitely going to check it out! 🚀
Hey Austin,
I'm wondering about the learning curve. How long does it typically take for a non-technical user to become proficient with Manaflow?
Do you have plans to integrate with popular project management tools in the future?
Congrats on the launch!
Congrats on the launch of your incredible project! Your efforts are truly commendable. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter of your journey! 🌟 @austinywang
This is an impressive launch, Austin! Manaflow seems like a game-changer for SMBs. Automating workflows through a simple interface is a huge step forward. Excited to see how it evolves! #Upvote
Excited to see Manaflow launch, @austinywang! The way you've simplified the automation of repetitive tasks using natural language truly addresses a significant pain point for SMBs. It’s impressive how AI agents can take over those tedious workflows and reduce the time from hours to minutes! The spreadsheet interface sounds intuitive, making it accessible even for non-techies. Can't wait to try out the features myself and see how it can transform everyday tasks in my workflow. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing how Manaflow evolves! 💪
Congrats on the launch of Manaflow! How does it handle complex workflows beyond basic data transformation?
Austin, this sounds really promising! How does Manaflow handle error management during those automated tasks? Are there any rollback features if something goes wrong?
Awesome concept, Austin! 🌟 Automating repetitive tasks with natural language is a game changer for SMBs. The way Manaflow simplifies workflows and leverages AI agents is impressive. Excited to see how this can transform office productivity! Upvoted!
Awesome launch, Austin! 🙌 Manaflow sounds like a game-changer for SMBs looking to streamline their workflows. The way you’ve integrated AI agents with a spreadsheet interface is brilliant, making it accessible for users who might find traditional workflow tools too complex.
I can totally relate to the tedious nature of manual processes. The example you shared about watermarked videos really highlights the potential time-saving benefits. Excited to see how this platform evolves and helps teams maximize their productivity. Definitely upvoting this! 🚀
