AI task automation tools take a job you describe in plain language — sort these emails, fill this form, pull these numbers into a sheet, follow up with this lead — and run it, either on a schedule or when something happens. They range from workflow builders with an AI step to browser agents that click through websites like a person. The reliability question matters more than the feature list: an automation that is right 95% of the time still needs a review step for the other 5%.

Task automation runs a defined sequence of steps when a trigger fires; an AI agent decides the steps itself from a goal. Automations are predictable and auditable, agents are flexible and occasionally wrong — many tools now combine the two with an agent step inside a fixed workflow.
