Labguru's Automation Agent makes workflow creation faster and easier than ever. Instead of building automations from scratch, just describe what you need - and let AI handle the rest.

What Can It Do?

The Automation Agent helps you create workflows by understanding your lab needs in natural language. Whether you need to:

  • Calculate data (IC50 values, dose-response curves, ELISA analysis)

  • Normalize results from plate readers or instruments

  • Generate reports automatically

  • Manage quality control processes

Simply describe it, and the agent generates a complete workflow ready to activate.

Good prompt should contain the following:

  • Triggers: "When...", "If...", "Every..."

  • Actions: "Send...", "Create...", "Update..."

  • Details: Names of apps, specific conditions, timing

examples:

  • "Every day at 9am, check for new items created in the xxx collection and update me by email"

  • "If inventory drops below 50 units for item x, create an order and notify the warehouse manager by email xxx"

How It Works

  • Open the Workflow editor

  • Click Create with AI on the top right corner

  • On the creation page: Describe your need - Write what you want to automate in plain English or select an existing workflow to be modified with the drop down above the text field

  • Review the plan - The agent shows you a detailed plan with triggers, conditions, and actions

  • Request changes - Refine the automation through conversation if needed

  • Approve & create - Review the generated workflow and create it with one click

Built for Your Safety

  • Human review required - All AI-generated workflows start inactive until you explicitly approve them (switch to Active)

  • No surprises - You see exactly what the automation will do before it runs
