Introducing the Automation Agent: Create Workflows in Plain English

Written by Ilya letnik

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
