🔥 Best AI Automation Tools: Nominate Your Favorites for the Product Hunt Orbit Awards

Nice category to be second for the Orbit Awards!

I mostly use Trace for content workflows. Stuff like reviewing docs, summarising them, then drafting an overview. When it works, it works REALLY well, like doing 90% of the job for me. Would not be possible if workflows were 100% AI, the tech is just not there yet. Would be cool to chat directly with each agent though since it's a black box as of now.

I nominate @blogg.so , but I may have a slight bias 😅

@Trace – cool project and I hope it keeps evolving! The idea is there and when it works it's amazing. The builder is sometimes glitchy but not too often. Also need more agents!

I nominate @Trace The workflow graph is easy to adjust after it is generated - great feature. Automatic delegation is super useful there. Would suggest to do some more integrations though. Good luck with the project! Awesome job

I nominate @Dimension.

I've been following their journey since the early days. They recently pivoted into a proactive AI assistant for engineering teams, launched, and ranked #2 Product of the Day and #3 Developer Tool of the Week.

Beyond the hype, Dimension is a beautifully crafted product, inspiring, providing accurate and helpful outputs. It's now fully part of my stack.

S/O to @suptejas and team for the great work - @Dimension is a no brainer.

This is a completely unbiased opinion from someone who is absolutely biased: @TrafficScout for automated, free Reddit traffic.

For day to day automation, I usually rely on tools that quietly handle my workflow :

@Zapier is still my go to when I need something reliable that connects to almost anything.

Also recently I added @AskYura to my stack for background tasks like checking data statuses or updating notes automatically. It handles the micro tasks I usually forget, and the time saved really adds up.

These two have probably had the biggest impact on keeping my workflow smooth this year.

For automating a lot of one-off tasks with the flexibility to turn them into repeated workflows I advocate for @Instruct(slightly biased though!)

We started out as a non-technical @n8n but as both our team and users found ourselves obessesed with Instruct's capability for ad-hoc tasks, we've evolved into what we believe is the go-to general agent for automating work. Whether that's a task you complete just once, or everyday, Instruct is there to help!

Personally I have a dozen workflows setup around my Notion and linear workflows, helping to fill in context, track competitors and keep me on top of my to-dos!

Sharing my favorite automation tools that I actually use.

@Marblism handles the simple but time-consuming stuff for me like inbox sorting follow ups social DMs and light outreach. I don’t have to think about it much and things just get done, which is honestly the best kind of automation.

@n8n is what I use behind the scenes to connect tools together. It moves data triggers workflows and runs small automations without me checking on it all the time. Once it’s set up it just works.

Maker of @Aident AI here.
We’re trying to push automation toward real scenarios and roles, not just workflows. Early days, but it’s been practical for ops and marketing use cases so far.
