šŸ”„ Best AI Automation Tools: Nominate Your Favorites for the Product Hunt Orbit Awards

by•

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?

We’re trying to push automation toward real scenarios and roles, not just workflows. Early days, but it’s been practical for ops and marketing use cases so far.

I nominate @ZapDigits

I nominate@Keywordly Auto-Pilot for two reasons: first, it has helped me scale,@Indexly and second, I am biased :)

@aaronoleary got this email in my inbox, you're a real one for this tee up.

I nominate -> Meet Sona - meetsona.ai

One 10-minute AI voice interview → a week of authentic LinkedIn posts.

Built it for myself out of frustration and use it each and every week.

Great thread! AI automation has been a game-changer for workflow efficiency. Here are my nominations based on actual daily use:

Zapier - The reliability factor is unmatched. I use it for connecting disparate tools that don't natively integrate. Set it and forget it.

n8n - Love the self-hosted option and visual workflow builder. The community templates save hours of setup time, and the AI workflow builder is genuinely useful for complex automations.

Make (formerly Integromat) - When you need granular control over data transformations, Make shines. The scenario editor is more powerful than most alternatives, and the pricing scales better for high-volume workflows.

What I've learned: The best automation tool depends on your specific stack and technical comfort level. Zapier for simplicity and reliability, n8n for customization and cost control, Make for complex data operations.

The real ROI comes from identifying repetitive tasks that eat 15-30 minutes daily - those add up to weeks per year. Start small, measure impact, then scale.

@Tasklet has changed how I automate tasks. The reason I love it:

  1. No need to create integrations etc like zap, make etc. You just define what you want to do in natural language and it naturally sets up the flows really well.

  2. Best Browser Agent implementation: Can start browsers and click through to do complex tasks without me having to manually teach anything.

Outside of this, obviously the @Alai API. You can now automate sales proposal deals, weekly campaign reports etc really easily.

Github copilot - removes boilerplate and speeds up implementation, without pretending to understand the system better than I do.

Nice timing! I actually just shipped an @AppSpeaker AI automation tool focused on Google Play reviews. It connects to Play Store, looks only at new reviews, understands the context, and drafts replies in my own tone so I don’t spend hours on repetitive work. It quietly runs in the background and saves time ... a lot of time.

Works like magic! While testing it on my own games and apps, I spent a lot of time refining the instructions and custom setup so the replies actually sound like me, not like generic AI. That part turned out to be just as important as the automation itself.

Happy to share more details or show how it works if that’s useful.

Nomination: @InterviewFlowAI - AI Interviews

InterviewFlowAI automates first-round hiring interviews end to end. It actually conducts real interviews over phone or Google Meet (not chatbots), asks role-specific questions, follows up based on answers, and produces structured scorecards with transcripts and recordings.

Day to day, it replaces hours of manual resume screening, scheduling, and repetitive phone screens. You only spend time reviewing shortlisted candidates asynchronously instead of sitting in back-to-back calls.

It’s especially useful for high-volume or early-stage teams where hiring speed matters but you don’t want to add another tool to manage. Simple setup, no babysitting, and it quietly takes a big chunk of screening work off the calendar.

Definitely earned a permanent spot in our hiring stack.
