Trace is up for an Orbit Award in AI Workflow Automation!

Trace tends to show up where workflows get complex. The parts of work that involve reasoning, coordination, and follow ups instead of simple triggers.

If you are using Trace, we want to hear how. What kind of workflow is it handling for you? What problem finally felt manageable once Trace was in the mix?

Review Trace?

Trace earns praise for its practical, human-in-the-loop automation that maps real workflows and pinpoints what to automate without forcing process changes. Reviewers highlight seamless Slack, Jira, and Notion connections, quick setup, and a “workflow debugger” feel that surfaces hidden optimization opportunities. Users report strong time savings, reliable task routing between humans and AI, and clear, modifiable flows. Some express curiosity about long-term UX and flexibility for edge cases, but early hands-on testing notes a thoughtful balance of automation and oversight, with an intuitive UI and helpful context awareness.

👋 Hey Product Hunt Fam!

I'm Tim, co-founder & ceo of Trace (YC S25), and I’m thrilled to share our public launch 🚀 we previously built @Clustr a web3 analytics platform that grew to 100,000+ users 🙀

👾 What is Trace?

Trace is a workflow automation platform that routes tasks to the right agent – human or AI. By connecting tools like @Slack, @Jira, and @Notion, @Trace breaks down existing workflows and assigns repetitive tasks to AI agents. We help coordinate tasks between agents and people – without disrupting how your teams work.

🧐 Why use Trace?

Routine work like chasing updates, filling docs, and coordinating teams drains time and focus – with Trace you can:

✍️ Generate workflows from a single prompt and track project lifecycles
🧩 Break down tasks into steps and assign the right agents for the job
🤖 Deploy agents for any task using templates or create your own
🚀 Run workflows automatically with real-time triggers and schedules

🦄 How It Works

Trace integrates with your systems to analyze wikis, docs, chats, activity logs, and people data, building a unified index of your company’s work. This provides rich context for every new workflow, making it easy to route tasks across people and AI agents.

What's great

customizable workflows (3)workflow automation (16)Slack integration (13)human in the loop (6)

We’re using Trace at UniSub to clean up internal workflows, and it’s been pretty useful. What I like most is that it brings structure to messy processes without forcing you into rigid automation. You decide what’s handled by AI and what stays with the team, which matters a lot in a fast-moving startup environment.

Setup was straightforward, integrations fit naturally into our stack, and it saves real time. Solid product if you care about clarity and control as you scale.

What needs improvement

Clear value once you’re using it, but onboarding could get you there faster with more opinionated starter workflows. Better visibility into what’s automated vs handled by humans can also help as workflows grow in complexity.
Also, I think, something like ROI view (time saved, steps automated etc) would make internal adoption even easier - considering sometimes you have to "sell" this to your colleagues.

vs Alternatives

We haven't compared Trace to other solutions, just to what we could built ourselves. Obviously we decided to outsource this (i.e. use Trace) and focus on our product instead.

How is pricing structured for users and automations?

Team plan is just $200/month, and trust me - it saved much more $ by saving time.

What's great

What I like most is that it’s not trying to be “100% AI.” The platform actually makes sense: it routes tasks to the right agent, whether that’s a human or AI. By connecting tools I already use like Slack, Jira, and Notion, Trace fits naturally into my existing workflows instead of forcing me to change how I work.

For repetitive content tasks, it’s a huge productivity boost - something I wouldn’t be able to replicate with pure AI alone right now.

What needs improvement

The tech is strong, but more transparency and control would make it even more powerful - especially for people who want to fine-tune how work gets done rather than just trust the output.

vs Alternatives

What really stood out is how well it fits into existing workflows. Instead of replacing tools, it connects the ones I already use like Slack, Notion, and Jira, and then layers automation on top. That makes it feel practical, not experimental.

What limits exist on tasks, runs, or API calls?

Trace uses a monthly credit system tied to your plan. You spend these credits when workflows run tasks.

What support and SLAs are offered for incidents?

I usually reach out to support@trace.so if something goes wrong or I have a question

I’ve been testing Trace for a few weeks, and it’s one of the most practical automation tools I’ve used. The hybrid human + AI approach makes a huge difference, instead of blindly automating everything, Trace helps identify what should be automated and keeps humans in the loop for the rest. We connected it to our existing tools like Slack and Notion, and within minutes, Trace started mapping real workflows and finding optimisation opportunities we’d completely overlooked. It feels less like a bot and more like an intelligent teammate that understands how your company actually operates. Excited to see how the platform evolves.
