Octonous allows you to automate a series of tasks by linking multiple services from different companies. For example, you can easily create a workflow that 'monitors conversations on Slack, writes project progress to a Google Spreadsheet, and sends a summary via Gmail.'



The Octonous screen looks like this. First, select the desired service from the services displayed on the screen.



After selecting a service, simply enter a description of the task in natural language, and Octonous will automatically build the workflow for you.



After that, simply click 'Approve' and the workflow will start running automatically.



Octonous supports a wide range of services, including Google and Microsoft services, as well as GitHub, Trello, Linear, and Notion.



Octonous allows you to use AI from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. You can also obtain your own API key and use your preferred AI.



Octonous is free to register, but you use AI models by consuming credits. As of the time of writing, you can get 1000 credits when you run your first automation.
