Workflow Automations for the Human 👾 AI Workforce

A workflow automation platform that routes tasks to the right agent – human or AI. By connecting tools like Slack, Jira and Notion – Trace breaks down existing workflows, spots automation opportunities and embeds AI agents to repetitive tasks.

Congrats on the launch, @timcha_cherkasov Love the positioning, especially the idea of coordinating both humans and AI without breaking existing workflows. That’s usually the hardest part: adoption fails when teams feel forced into a “new tool universe.”
When you think about scaling Trace, do you see it gaining traction faster in startups (where teams are lean and flexible) or in larger enterprises (where the coordination overhead is massive)?

@lina_huchok Thank you for checking Trace out. We provide a self-serve tool for startups to play with, while we do more of a hands-on approach for bigger clients. Startups get to see the benefits of Trace faster, so I would say we will gain traction faster with them.
@arthur_romanov Makes total sense. Thanks for sharing, and best of luck with the launch!

@lina_huchok @arthur_romanov we designed UI to be simple so people can get it asap. Tools like Zapier are cool, but still hard to understand for non-technical people
@lina_huchok @arthur_romanov @zorinvlad and also make it available price-wise. Tools like UIPath are super expensive and we hpe to provide an alternative
Trace
Thanks! We think it’ll pick up fast in startups first since they can experiment quickly, but larger enterprises benefit a lot once they adopt it, given the coordination overhead.
Trace
Thanks a lot! Hope the team answered your question!

Two questions. When you say "Bring your own agents" on the website. What do you mean by that? And is there a chronological view of actions going through the system in real time?
@sentry_co hello Andre, thanks for the questions.
We work closely with larger clients to allow them to integrate the AI agents they already use into Trace so they can manage all their AI agents from one platform.
Workflow view itself is a chronological view of tasks that need to be completed for the workflow to be completed, if that's what you mean. If you are referring to an audit log, we are developing the functionality to clearly see the steps taken by AI Agents for visibility, debug and audit purposes.

In your definition of the word AI agent. What counts as an AI Agent? Any examples? 2. I saw this live snapshot vie at ai.work the other day. They have a gif on the front page.
Trace
An AI agent is any automated workflow handler — like an AI that drafts emails, fills forms, or tracks updates. The live snapshot is similar — it shows how agents act on tasks in real time.
Trace
An AI agent is any automated helper — like one that drafts emails, fills forms, or tracks updates. That snapshot shows agents acting in real time, similar to how Trace works.
Trace
Bring your own agents - means you can assign tasks to your own team members or AI agents. And yes — Trace provides a chronological view so you can track actions in real time.
Trace
there’s a live timeline to track actions as they happen
Product Hunt
Congrats @timcha_cherkasov !
I'm really curious about the feature where you identify workflows to automate because if it works really well, this seems like absolutely the dream. For a small company (say 20 people), how successful is it typically at identifying workflows that can be automated?
Trace
Thank you for all your help, Rajiv! 🙏
Great question. Even in a 20-person team, there’s usually more repeatable work than people realise—hidden in Slack threads, Jira tickets, or docs. Trace maps those flows, surfaces recurring patterns, and suggests automation candidates. In early tests with small teams, it consistently uncovered opportunities that saved hours each week.

the product looks nice and easy to understand — enter in the prompts what you want task about, and you get the entire solution presented in front of you, which you can then modify 👍
Trace
@adis_hasanic Thanks, Adis! Prompts are not the only way to create workflows; we are also considering a workflow builder, similar to tools like Zapier. Prompt workflow may not be precise enough for specific use-cases, and a more granular approach is required. Let us know if this is something you may be interested in as well.
Trace
@adis_hasanic you are absolutely right. The goal is for the tool to learn from your day-to-day and then automate work by itself, so you don't even have to do anything!
@adis_hasanic thanks Adis!

Exactly — start with a prompt, get a full workflow, and tweak it as needed.
Heyday Health
congrats on the launch @timcha_cherkasov!!

What an amazing progress in such a short time. Being one of the earliest beta testers of Trace I witnessed it's evolution first hand.
Love, how you put human in the loop sequentially and give oversight on the whole flow. This is something that has huge potential and can be widely adopted by any small business with or no tech skills. Good luck! I know lot more is in the pipeline.
@sandros_stori 100%. We appreciate the on-going support! I am insanely pumped for the roadmap, hopefully it will not come short of your expectations!

Trace
@sandros_stori Really appreciate your feedback! Seeing early testers like you use Trace and help shape it has been invaluable.
Trace
Appreciate that! Your feedback’s been key in shaping how Trace works.
Trace
We are happy you liked it;)
This is an amazing idea, just tell the product what you need and it'll create the workflow for you. No hassle. no back and forth, just one single prompt does it all. Nice!
Trace
@ayyaz_ali Exactly — the goal is to turn a single prompt into a full workflow without the usual back-and-forth.
Trace
Yep, one prompt and the workflow’s ready to roll.
Thanks Ayyaz
