Set Up AI Automations in Seconds, Run Forever

CoChat dashboard showing how to set up AI automations with a plain-language prompt on a schedule

Starting today, you can set up AI automations in CoChat, and we built them to work the way AI automations should actually work.

So forget the flowcharts. Skip the node editors. And you can ignore those 15-minute YouTube tutorials just to connect two tools. Instead, describe what you want in plain language, and CoChat handles the rest.

Why we built AI automations

Most automation tools were designed before AI could understand what you actually meant. As a result, they gave you visual builders: boxes, arrows, triggers, and conditions. Powerful, sure. But they were also slow to set up and annoying to maintain.

So we asked a simpler question. What if you could just tell CoChat what to do? That single idea is why it takes seconds to set up AI automations here.

How to set up AI automations

In practice, AI automations in CoChat do three things.

1. Take actions across your tools

First, connect your MCP integrations once. After that, your automations handle the repetitive stuff: they create tasks, update records, send notifications, and move data between systems.

2. Summarize content on a schedule

Next, you can get automatic digests of your meetings, documents, or project activity. Choose daily, weekly, or whatever cadence makes sense for you.

3. Respond to triggers

Finally, when something happens in one tool, CoChat can act in another. Because the monitoring runs for you, there is no manual checking required.

The difference when you set up AI automations

Here is what a “summarize my meetings every Friday” workflow looks like in a typical tool:

  1. Create a new workflow
  2. Select a trigger type
  3. Configure the schedule
  4. Add a filter condition
  5. Connect to your calendar
  6. Add a summarization step
  7. Configure the output format
  8. Add a delivery action
  9. Test the workflow
  10. Debug why it did not work
  11. Actually ship it

Now here is the same task once you set up AI automations in CoChat:

  1. “Summarize my meetings every Friday and email me the digest”

That is it. If you want a worked example, see our guide on how to send an AI meeting summary to Slack.

What you can automate

To get started, here are a few ideas:

  • Weekly summaries of project activity across all your connected tools
  • Daily digest of new GitHub issues assigned to your team
  • Automatic meeting notes delivered after every call
  • Status updates compiled and sent every Monday morning
  • Document summaries whenever new files hit a folder

Get started: set up AI automations in two minutes

AI automations are live now for all CoChat users. Head to your workspace, click the new Automations tab, and set one up in under two minutes.

We are not exaggerating, so go ahead and time yourself.
