A couple years ago, I cold-started a startup and tried to automate my outreach pipeline with a patchwork: RPA + Zapier + "just some ChatGPT".
It worked… until it didn’t. Every time I tweaked the strategy, the automation snapped. The system wasn’t built for change — it was built for wiring.
And that’s when it hit me: AI is finally smart enough to do real work, but we still don’t have a clean way to communicate the work to it: Drag-and-drop flows are too rigid; Scripts are too fragile; Prompts are too ephemeral. I kept thinking: why can’t automation be something you can simply read, edit, and trust?
So we built Aident around one idea: the source of truth is a document.
You write a Playbook in plain English (objectives, roles, handoffs), Aiden helps refine it, then we compile it into a reliable agent team (with built-in PM + QA roles) that executes skills with your 250+ tools (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Sheets/Calendar, GitHub, etc.). You can test it, schedule it, and then forget about it - it will keep delivering, even when you sleep.
It’s still early beta and can be bumpy sometimes, but I’d really appreciate you give it a try and let me know your feedbacks:
What workflow would you try first? Where would this be a bad fit (compliance, data sensitivity, team size)? What would make you trust it enough to run unattended?
