Introducing AI Assist

Building an automation shouldn't start with a blank screen. With AI Assist, you describe what you want in plain language and Shard drafts the workflow for you to review.

AI Assist is built to help, not to take over. Everything it creates is a draft until you check it and switch it on.

What's new

• Generate from a prompt: write something like "When a deploy to production fails, open an incident and notify on-call" and get a ready-to-edit automation.

• Suggestions: Shard now points out ways to make an automation more reliable, like adding a retry or narrowing a condition.

• Failure explanations: when a run fails, AI Assist summarizes what went wrong in plain language and suggests a fix.

• Repetitive work: Shard notices tasks your team repeats and suggests automations for them.

You stay in control

Drafts are saved separately and nothing goes live automatically. You can see exactly what a suggestion would change, edit it, test it, or dismiss it. Only people with the Builder role or higher can accept suggestions.

Try it

Open Automations and choose New with AI Assist. The more specific you are about the trigger and the outcome, the better the draft.
