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 19 sightings filed under Automation on Agent Sightings (number 17 by interest), and one of 7 involving Zapier Agents.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Zapier Agents or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Automation design: generate weekly leadership reports and handle feature requests. Specify triggers, steps, and failure modes before enabling sends or deletes.
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.
