The platform looks great!
However I do personally really dislike that everyone is either marketing themselves or has truly pivoted to AI agents…
This seems like a great platform to run any type of tasks.

In their defense, they are trying to help us grow and get follow on investment. I'm apprecative of my investor's input. They aren't forcing me to do anything, just highly encouraging.
All of the un-budgeted money right now is for AI related workloads, so if you want enterprise money you have to pitch your product as AI.
And if you want investor money right now, you better have an AI product.
I do some AI agent work; I suspect it's because there's a lot of people with infrastructure and programming skills that are new to building "agents". It's easy to think this requires monolithic architecture when a distributed DAG is often optimal. A lot of frameworks and SDKs for "agents" also inadvertently encourage monolithic design.
Long way of saying it's the marketing machine doing its thing. This looks like Cloud or run it yourself DAG software with some bells and whistles.

I'm the CEO of a direct competitor to trigger, and we're in the same boat. What we make is great for any type of workflow, but our investors are pushing us hard to frame it as AI agents.
FWIW, more than 1/2 of our customers are AI agents, so it does make sense. But you're right, it's great for all sorts of use cases (trigger and us).
