Examples
Your automation system may incorporate workflows of varying levels of complexity. Below is a list of examples, grouped by complexity.
LEVEL 1: Basic Linear Automation
Trigger → Action(s) → Done
Automatic Response to Form Submission
New form submission → Add to CRM → Send confirmation email
Payment Notifications
Stripe payment → Create invoice → Notify Slack
Social Media
RSS feed → Post to Twitter/LinkedIn
Email lists
Spreadsheet or database row → Send templated email
Personalized EmailsAI
Generate customized email responses based on recipient data
Basic FAQ chatbotAI
Incoming question → Match to knowledge base → Return answer
LEVEL 2: Conditional, Stateful Automation
If/else logic, branching, error handling, basic state tracking
Lead Scoring System
High scores are assigned to sales, while lower scores are added to nurture sequence
Client Onboarding Pipeline
Send docs, await signature, send reminder if unsigned in 3 days
Invoice Collection Workflow
Detect overdue invoices and trigger reminder ladder
Email ClassifierAI
Route incoming emails to the appropriate department and escalate based on sentiment
AI Triage SystemAI
Analyze support ticket, assign priority and recommend canned response
LEVEL 3: AI-Enhanced Automation
AI used for structured outputs and simple decision making (like which template to use, tone to adopt or follow-up to send). Workflow remains largely deterministic with no long-running reasoning loops.
Proposal generatorAI
Pull CRM data, draft a proposal, insert into a template and send for review
Content repurposing pipelineAI
Transform a YouTube transcript into summarized social media posts
Resume screening toolAI
Extract resume data and score against the job description
Contract review assistantAI
Extract risks, flag clauses and generate a summary
LEVEL 4: Agentic Systems
AI agents can reason in steps, call tools, loop until completion and maintain memory.
Research AgentAI
- •User asks question
- •Agent: Searches web, reads documents, summarizes findings, validates sources, returns structured report
Sales Intelligence AgentAI
- •User inputs a company name
- •Agent: Gathers company data, analyzes competitors, identifies ICP match, writes personalized outreach
Proposal Builder AgentAI
- •User inputs a discovery call transcript
- •Agent: Extracts scope, builds pricing, generates contract draft, flags ambiguities
Internal Knowledge AgentAI
- •User asks a question
- •Agent: Searches vector database, retrieves docs, synthesizes answer, asks clarifying questions if needed
LEVEL 5: Multi-Agent Orchestrated Systems
Multi-agent orchestration enables complex, adaptive workflows that can function like a coordinated team of AI workers. While powerful, these systems can introduce significant operational risk and rapidly escalating LLM costs if not carefully designed and constrained. For most of our clients, we prioritize structured AI automation with clear guardrails and measurable ROI over fully autonomous multi-agent systems.
If you're exploring multi-agent systems, we still want to talk to you. In practice, we find that careful architectural design often achieves the same strategic objectives without the complexity and cost profile of a multi-agent build.
