> However I do personally really dislike that everyone is either marketing themselves or has truly pivoted to AI agents…

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).

I'm curious what product you ship for workflows? I'm looking at pushing out a workflow engine in the near future and it is interesting to me to see what other people are doing.

    Out of respect for my competitor's Launch HN, I don't want to say here, but if you look at my profile or google my username it won't be hard to find. :)

"our investors are pushing us hard to frame it as AI agents"

One of the biggest downsides of raising money. The moment you have investors, they own a lot of what you do even though they shouldn't in theory.

    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.
