ActRun

ActRun is an AI workflow assistant that connects your everyday work apps and handles messy tasks for you. Instead of jumping between Gmail, Slack, Shopify, and a dozen other tools, you describe what needs to happen in plain language — like "triage support emails and draft replies" or "reorder inventory when stock runs low" — and ActRun takes it from there. It scans your connected apps, surfaces what needs attention, and prepares proposals, drafts, and follow-ups for your approval. No configuration, no complex setup. You just review and say yes.

How does it work? You start by connecting the apps ActRun can use — email, calendars, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Stripe, and more. Then you create a "Thread" where you describe your goal. ActRun turns that into a series of tool calls: it gathers context, opens apps, searches files, drafts replies, and prepares next steps. Everything stays visible in a timeline view so you can see what it's doing and where approval is needed. Outputs like reports, drafts, and results are saved in a Library, so future threads can pick up where you left off. The whole flow is designed to be transparent — you're not handing over control, you're approving prepared work.

Who is this for? Small business owners who wear many hats, operations teams managing cross-app workflows, and content creators who need to post consistently across LinkedIn and X. Real-world use cases include triaging Gmail support threads and auto-replying, automatically reordering inventory from suppliers when Shopify stock runs low, and scheduling daily social media posts from one place. ActRun is still early — the testimonials from Shopify founders and agency owners suggest it's already handling real production workflows. If you're tired of glue code and Zapier chains that break at 2am, this is worth a look.
