Overview
Auto is the default Work workflow. You describe the task and the agent determines the right approach — whether to brainstorm, research, write, or combine multiple strategies. No manual configuration required.When to Use
- Most tasks where the intent is clear from the prompt
- Quick one-off requests across any department
- When you’re unsure which workflow fits best
- Tasks that combine multiple activities (e.g., research + write)
How It Works
1
Describe your task
Provide a clear description of what you want done. Reference specific integrations, data sources, or expected outputs.
2
Agent analyzes and routes
The agent reads your prompt and decides whether to brainstorm, research, write, or combine approaches.
3
Execution
The agent works through the task, pulling from connected integrations and producing the requested output.
4
Review
Check the output in the task view. Iterate with follow-up messages if needed.

Tips
Be specific about outputs
Be specific about outputs
Instead of “help with marketing,” say “create a one-page brief comparing our Q2 campaign performance to Q1, pulling data from HubSpot.”
Reference integrations explicitly

Mention which tools the agent should pull from: “Check Notion for the product roadmap and Slack #engineering for blockers.”
Switch workflows if scope grows

If Auto’s output is too surface-level, try Deep Brainstorm for analysis or Research for structured data gathering.
