🔥 Best AI Automation Tools: Nominate Your Favorites for the Product Hunt Orbit Awards
We just wrapped the Orbit Awards for AI Dictation and now we’re moving to the next category: AI Automation.
This one is for the tools that actually do work for you – clearing chores, running workflows in the background, or quietly taking over a chunk of your week without turning into another dashboard you have to babysit.
We’re digging into the AI Automation category based on traction and reviews, not hype. So we’d love your help:
Drop your favorite AI automation tools in the thread
Add a quick note on what they actually do for you day to day
And if you want them in the running for an Orbit, leave a review on their Product Hunt Hub
Think of this as nominations-by-use-case, not just vibes. Which tools have actually earned a permanent spot in your stack?

Pally - AI Relationship Management
@Trace Very solid idea! Takes some time playing with the tool to get the results, but when it works it's very nice!
Liinks
I nominate @blogg.so , but I may have a slight bias 😅
Algebras AI
@Trace – cool project and I hope it keeps evolving! The idea is there and when it works it's amazing. The builder is sometimes glitchy but not too often. Also need more agents!
STORI
I nominate @Trace The workflow graph is easy to adjust after it is generated - great feature. Automatic delegation is super useful there. Would suggest to do some more integrations though. Good luck with the project! Awesome job
@zapier I agree with Aleksandar. Been using those guys for years and they dont fail to keep up with AI and Integration progress.
@Instantly is a world-class solution for outbound email outreach automation. from contacts to email warm ups to out reach.
@Pipedrive hands down my CRM of choice. So so much faster and easier to setup and use then others in my oppinion and helps automate standard email, sms marketing against different customer segments.
@AdAmigo.ai quickly becoming the go-to automation solution for the ever-growing number of businesses advertising on Facebook and Instagram. AI-native ad design, automation through daily optimizations, bulk launching tons of ads, and your AI chat assistant who can audit and optimize your ad account. It democratizes ads so everyone can run them, and it automates the workflow so it becomes super fast and easy to run profitable campaigns.
I've read your vote, and I specifically looked into@AdAmigo.ai However, I'm still not entirely clear on what @AdAmigo.ai is used for. Is it to help advertising users optimize their ad placement strategies?
@AdAmigo @cunshu Hey hey! : )
It’s great to hear from you!!
Yes, pretty much!
Facebook and Instagram ads have become the de facto best growth channel for many companies.
But running ads is time-consuming, and Ads Manager is quite complicated.
That’s why many brands hire agencies, and agencies have to hire tons of “media buyers” to get the job done.
They stay busy launching new campaigns, designing and launching new ads, optimizing budgets based on performance trends, etc., etc.
It turns out AI agents can do this work incredibly well.
You connect AdAmigo.ai to your Facebook ad account (we are Meta Business Technology Partners working directly with Meta’s API).
Then AdAmigo runs a deep audit of your ad account and starts sharing daily optimization recommendations.
You can review and approve them, and the AI will then implement those suggestions.
You can also activate Autopilot for full automation.
For additional tasks, you can talk to the chat version of the AI, for example:
“I need to design new ads. What ads perform best currently?”
“I have these 5 new videos. Can you launch them, please?”
“I have a new product I want to promote. See the product image I uploaded. Design the ads, write the ad copy, and launch the best possible campaign strategy for it. You have a $50 daily budget to work with :)”
The AI chat agent then gets it done with or for you.

We also offer more advanced tools for enterprise brands and agencies, such as account monitoring (anomaly detection), which alerts you to prevent setup mistakes, unnoticed sudden performance changes, hack attempts, etc.
And a bulk ad launcher for teams that want to launch dozens of ads all at once.
I nominate @Dimension.
I've been following their journey since the early days. They recently pivoted into a proactive AI assistant for engineering teams, launched, and ranked #2 Product of the Day and #3 Developer Tool of the Week.
Beyond the hype, Dimension is a beautifully crafted product, inspiring, providing accurate and helpful outputs. It's now fully part of my stack.
S/O to @suptejas and team for the great work - @Dimension is a no brainer.
For day to day automation, I usually rely on tools that quietly handle my workflow :
@Zapier is still my go to when I need something reliable that connects to almost anything.
Also recently I added @AskYura to my stack for background tasks like checking data statuses or updating notes automatically. It handles the micro tasks I usually forget, and the time saved really adds up.
These two have probably had the biggest impact on keeping my workflow smooth this year.
@naomy_tiara09 So true. The right automation quietly saves a lot of time!
Instruct
For automating a lot of one-off tasks with the flexibility to turn them into repeated workflows I advocate for @Instruct(slightly biased though!)
We started out as a non-technical @n8n but as both our team and users found ourselves obessesed with Instruct's capability for ad-hoc tasks, we've evolved into what we believe is the go-to general agent for automating work. Whether that's a task you complete just once, or everyday, Instruct is there to help!
Personally I have a dozen workflows setup around my Notion and linear workflows, helping to fill in context, track competitors and keep me on top of my to-dos!
This is a completely unbiased opinion from someone who is absolutely biased: @TrafficScout for automated, free Reddit traffic.
Sharing my favorite automation tools that I actually use.
@Marblism handles the simple but time-consuming stuff for me like inbox sorting follow ups social DMs and light outreach. I don’t have to think about it much and things just get done, which is honestly the best kind of automation.
@n8n is what I use behind the scenes to connect tools together. It moves data triggers workflows and runs small automations without me checking on it all the time. Once it’s set up it just works.
