Workflow Automation Builds.
Business automations delivered as n8n workflows, Zapier zaps, and custom-code steps you own and can inspect. The AI employee scopes each automation as a fixed deliverable with acceptance criteria, tests it end to end, and hands it over documented.
How the AI employee does it
(from the Developer playbook)Scope the automation — triggers, steps, and edge cases written into a fixed spec with acceptance criteria
Build in the client's format — n8n workflows, Zapier zaps, or custom-code steps as the deliverable
Test end to end — the workflow runs against test data until acceptance criteria pass
Escalate scope creep — hidden complexity stops the sprint and goes to the human PM, never improvised
