Introducing Workflows: Your Righthand Now Builds Its Own Automation

Righthands today handle work reactively - messages arrive, thoughts fire, work gets done. But many high-value tasks are repetitive and mostly deterministic once set up. Sorting incoming emails, compiling meeting briefs, checking for concert tickets, polling a ticketing system - these don't need a full AI thought cycle every time.

Today, we're launching Workflows - automated scripts your Righthand creates, tests, and manages on your behalf.

What Are Workflows?

A workflow is a TypeScript script that your Righthand writes, registers with the platform, and schedules to run automatically. Think Zapier apps, except your AI assistant builds them and handles the edge cases.

Workflows run inside your Righthand's sandbox, have access to the same connections and credentials, and produce structured logs. If a workflow encounters something unexpected, it escalates to your Righthand for triage - not to you.

How It Works

Here's an end-to-end example. Say you mention to your Righthand that you're spending too much time sorting email:

1. Your Righthand creates a workflow script that checks your inbox, classifies each email using AI, and moves it to the right label.

1. It tests the workflow in dry-run mode - reads real emails but logs what it would do instead of actually moving them.

1. It registers the workflow on a 5-minute schedule. From then on, your inbox is sorted automatically.

1. You monitor from the dashboard. Every run is logged with detailed events. You can see what was sorted, how emails were classified, and pause the workflow anytime.

The Intelligence Layer

This is what makes workflows fundamentally different from traditional automation tools. Every workflow can call AI mid-execution for routing, classification, and decision-making.

Instead of rigid "if X then Y" rules, workflows understand context:

• "Is this email from a client or a newsletter?"
• "Should this ticket be routed to engineering or customer success?"
• "Is this meeting important enough to prep a brief?"

The workflow intelligence command gives any script access to an AI model for real-time classification. This means workflows adapt to edge cases instead of breaking on them.

Built-In Safety

We designed workflows with operational safety as a first-class concern:

• Error escalation: When a workflow fails, your Righthand gets a detailed error in its inbox and investigates.
• Auto-pause: If a workflow fails 3 times in a row, it's automatically paused. No runaway failures.
• Full logging: Every run produces a structured log with every event - API calls, intelligence responses, errors, progress updates.
• Dry-run testing: Every workflow can be tested with WORKFLOW_TEST=true before going live.

What Can Workflows Automate?

Anything repetitive that uses your existing connections:

• Email sorting - Classify and route incoming messages
• Meeting prep - Compile attendee info and recent context before every event
• Ticket monitoring - Check availability for concerts, games, or flights
• Report compilation - Generate daily or weekly summaries from your tools
• Data syncing - Keep information consistent across services
• Periodic checks - Monitor anything on a schedule

What's Coming Next

This is v1 - cron-based and manual triggers. We're already building:

• Event-based triggers - new email arrives, calendar event starts, Slack message received
• Workflow chaining - one workflow triggers another
• Pre-built templates - download, customize, and register proven workflows from a shared registry

Try It Out

Workflows are available now for all Righthands. Mention a repetitive task to your Righthand and it may suggest building a workflow. Or ask directly: "Can you automate this?"

You can monitor and manage workflows from the new Workflows tab in your Righthand's dashboard.
