For years, business automation has been synonymous with rigid scripts and rule-based systems. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and simple chatbots promised efficiency but often delivered inflexibility, requiring constant maintenance and struggling with tasks that deviated even slightly from the script. We've been teaching machines to follow recipes. But what if they could understand the goal and write the recipe themselves?
That's the paradigm shift we're witnessing today. The next wave of AI in business isn't just about automation; it's about autonomy. We are moving from tools that follow instructions to partners that understand objectives. This is the era of the Autonomous AI Agent, and it's set to redefine how work gets done.
An agentic workflow represents a fundamental departure from traditional automation. Instead of being programmed with a step-by-step process, an autonomous agent is given a high-level objective. The agent then independently performs the following actions:
This is the difference between giving a cook a detailed recipe and simply asking them to "make a delicious Italian dinner." The latter requires understanding, planning, and skill—and it's precisely what autonomous agents bring to your business operations.
Embodying this powerful new approach is Lena, an autonomous agent from .do. Lena isn't just another automation tool; she is an AUTONOMOUS DIGITAL WORKER designed to function as an intelligent member of your team.
You don't program Lena; you delegate to her. By assigning complex business workflows and operational tasks, you empower Lena to execute with precision, speed, and intelligence. She transforms your high-level business logic into fully automated, valuable services.
Interacting with Lena is designed to be incredibly simple, allowing you to focus on the "what" while she handles the "how." Through a straightforward SDK or API call, you can assign tasks that would traditionally require hours of manual work or complex software integration.
Consider the task of creating a vital report. Instead of a multi-step manual process involving data extraction, formatting, and distribution, you simply give Lena the objective.
import { Do } from '@do-inc/sdk';
const agent = new Do(process.env.DO_API_KEY);
// Assign a complex task to Lena
const task = await agent.lena.assign({
objective: 'Generate a comprehensive quarterly sales report.',
parameters: {
quarter: 'Q3',
year: 2024,
outputFormat: 'pdf',
distributionList: ['ceo@example.com', 'sales-leads@example.com']
}
});
console.log(`Task ${task.id} assigned to Lena. Status: ${task.status}`);
In this example, Lena understands the objective is not just to "run a report." She needs to gather Q3 2024 sales data, compile it comprehensively, format it into a PDF, and distribute it to a specific list of stakeholders. She handles every step of that agentic workflow autonomously.
The power of an autonomous agent lies in its versatility. If you can define a business process as a workflow with a clear goal, Lena can likely do it. This opens up a world of possibilities for streamlining your operations, including:
Lena excels at orchestrating these multi-step processes that have historically been a bottleneck for businesses, freeing your human team to focus on strategy, creativity, and high-value customer interactions.
Delegating critical tasks requires trust. Lena operates within the secure and robust infrastructure of the .do platform. All tasks, data, and processes are managed with enterprise-grade security and privacy protocols, ensuring your company's information remains protected at all times.
The future of business operations is here, and it's autonomous. It's about augmenting your team's capabilities, not just automating their clicks. By delegating complex workflows to an AI agent like Lena, you can unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency and focus on what truly matters: growing your business.
