Why it matters
Automation used to mean wiring up rigid rules. Agents can handle the messy, in-between steps that rules miss, which makes many more workflows worth automating. It is one of 65 sightings filed under Automation on Agent Sightings (number 7 by interest), and one of 34 involving Paradox Olivia.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Paradox Olivia or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
I want an agent to take on this workflow, show its working, and wait for approval on anything that changes a system or contacts someone. The tool in the source case was Paradox Olivia.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
