Reviewers say Trace stands out by turning rough prompts into editable, human-and-AI workflows that match how teams actually work. Users repeatedly praise the clear visual graph, easy handoffs, and ability to step in when automation needs a human, especially for ops, compliance, reporting, and cross-tool processes. Several say it feels more transparent and less rigid than Zapier, Make, n8n, or building in-house. The main complaints are familiar: more integrations, better alerts for failed runs, stronger reporting, smoother onboarding, and more control for debugging, scheduling, APIs, and versioning.
Glad to see you guys building the next venture. Total mess with AI automation nowadays, but Trace looks like something I want to try on my repetitive tasks in sales and finance. Keep building!

@saalse thanks, Alex. Yeah, there are tons of AI startups nowadays, very hard to choose, setup and make it work. Hopefully, we can simplify it!
@saalse @arthur_romanov people don't understand prompt and context engineering. Not their fault, but that's inherent to the new tech
Trace
@saalse thank you Alex. There are tons of new automation stuff, but no understanding of how to use it. Curse of the new technology 🤷

Thanks! Excited for you to try it on your sales and finance workflows.

Very cool, I can definitely see the need for something like this as there seems to be too much focus on fully automating things, and the times when humans still need to be in the loop of it are getting left out. Congrats on the launch!
Trace
@britt_joiner thank you, Brittany! There are tons of automation tools right now (AI and non-AI), so we are trying to differentiate ourselves on the market
@britt_joiner @arthur_romanov there is just too many options nowadays, it's hard to choose the right thing for you. We are trying to find a middle ground between user control and ease of use
Trace
@britt_joiner we are not AI-doomers. There is a place for a human and will always be. Philosophy behind Trace
Trace
Thanks! That’s exactly why we built Trace — balancing automation with human oversight to keep workflows practical.
Trace
Thanks a lot!
Amazing stuff @timcha_cherkasov! I’m a big fan. I'm going to test this right away and hopefully free myself from a bunch of boring weekly tasks. Excited to see how it works:)
Trace
@nodarik thanks, Nodari. Please let us know if you have any feedback. Even small comments matter!
Trace
@nodarik thanks for your support, Nodari

Thanks! Excited for you to see how much busywork Trace can handle for you.
Thank you Nodari!

Hey team! Good luck with the launch!
Great tool. Would love to see the collection of use cases.
@lipkovskiy thanks, Andrey! We will do blog posts on new updates, and giving a review of the interesting use-cases would be interesting.
Trace
@lipkovskiy hey Andrei, thanks for trying Trace! Random workflow from the top of my head - automate the back and forth communication with clients for your sales team
Trace
Trace
Thanks! We’re working on sharing more use cases soon to show what’s possible.
Trace
We are happy you liked it;)

Huge congrats on the launch 👏
We run multiple cross-functional projects, and I constantly struggle with visibility. Does Trace give a central “dashboard” of all active workflows?
Trace
@kate_ramakaieva yes, we provide the dashboard where you can track all active workflows. We are working on making it much more comprehensive, like accessing the AI Agent performance, task state trackers with alarms and debug capabilities, task anomaly trackers monitoring things like "how long it has been stale", etc. A lot of new things are coming very soon!
Trace
@kate_ramakaieva, hey Kate, please let us know if there are any specific features you would like to see in the dashboard. Breakdown of AI agent run stats is the one which was requested the most.
@kate_ramakaieva thanks Kate, you can check state of workflows from the menu right now. As @arthur_romanov said more comprehensive dashboard is coming soon.
Trace
@kate_ramakaieva Yes! That’s one of the core things we wanted ourselves.
Trace
Thanks a lot! Hope the team answered your question!

Awesome launch @timcha_cherkasov 👏 I remember Clustr back in the day, so stoked to see your next chapter. This looks like a tool every ops team should have in their stack.
@pavel_sher Thank you. Ops teams were at the top of our mind when building Trace. A usual approach of sticking tools together and then trying to make ChatGPT solve the problem rarely works. Excited for you to try us out! Please let us know if you have any feedback
Trace
@pavel_sher thanks, Paul. Clustr times were fun, now we are off to the new challenge! As Andrei said, we are targeting ops teams, so please let us know if you have anyone who is interested
Trace
@pavel_sher hello Paul! Time flies; it feels like Clustr was a long time ago even though it was last year...
Trace
@timcha_cherkasov @pavel_sher Ah that means a lot 🙏 Clustr was a wild ride, and we learned a ton that carried over into Trace.
Trace
Thanks a lot!

Nice! Will Trace be helpful for solopreneurs? Any example in what way?
Trace
@nikitaeverywhere Hey Nikita, yes it is! We started building with our own use-case in mind
@andrei_i (our cpo) was building things for his personal stuff, like recreating Excel Macros (“Look up company quarterly earnings, parse their 10-Qs, fill up this spreadsheet given historical examples”).
We are experimenting internally with things like competitor analysis, building reports, notifying us of external triggers. For example, there is a workflow to monitor this page for new comments, and I get tagged on Slack if it is worth my checking out and replying.
Your use cases will be personal to you!
Trace
@nikitaeverywhere we are building for teams, but Trace can be used by solopreneurs. Let us know how it works for you
@nikitaeverywhere 100%. We have built it with ourselves in mind. We are targeting companies, cause Trace scales well when you have a lot of people
Trace
Absolutely — solopreneurs can use Trace to automate routine tasks like email follow-ups, content planning, or project tracking, saving time for high-priority work
Trace
Thanks a lot! Hope the team answered your question!
