Buying view: Choose Make AI Agents when an existing Make scenario already connects the right systems and a judgment-heavy step is the remaining bottleneck. Keep predictable actions in ordinary modules, and add approvals or stop points before the agent can affect a sensitive record or customer-facing outcome.

Capabilities

Make AI Agents lets a team put an AI decision step in the same visual canvas used for automation scenarios. A scenario can start from an app event or mapped input, prepare context, and run an agent. When needed, the agent can call a selected tool, receive its result, and return text or a defined data structure to later fixed scenario steps. Make says operators can inspect agent decisions, set rules, add manual approvals, or stop an agent at specific points.

What problem it addresses

A conventional automation is reliable when every condition is known in advance, but it struggles when incoming text, documents, or requests need interpretation before an action is chosen. Teams need a way to put that judgment into an existing workflow without hiding the downstream systems and steps that the agent can use.

How people use it

An operator starts with a Make scenario and maps the trigger data into an agent run. The agent is configured with a model, instructions, knowledge, and selected Make modules, scenarios, or MCP tools. The resulting output can be passed to later scenario steps, while the team can inspect reasoning and add controls around a sensitive action.

How one Agent run works in a Make scenario

This workflow is read from left to right. An app trigger or mapped input starts a Make scenario, which can prepare task data and context before the Make AI Agent (New) > Run an agent step. The boxes above the Agent are configuration inputs, not extra runtime steps.

The Agent works from its configured model, instructions, knowledge, conversation context, and granted tools. When it needs a tool, it selects one the team has made available and receives the result before continuing. A team can optionally route that selected-tool result for human review under its own rule; the control can allow the run to continue or stop the current run. This coral path is not a fixed approval feature and does not apply to every run. Once the Agent returns text or a defined data structure, later deterministic scenario steps remain ordinary Make modules.

What each module does and its role

Visual scenario canvas

Make places agent work in the same canvas used for ordinary scenarios. The team can therefore see the trigger, data preparation, agent call, and later modules together instead of treating the agent as a disconnected chat box. This is useful for reviewing where an AI judgment begins and where deterministic automation resumes.

Agent configuration

The agent run is configured with a model, instructions, and the input it should consider. Instructions define the job and operating constraints; they are not a substitute for accurate data or a business owner. Knowledge can add reference material when the workflow needs information beyond the immediate trigger.

Tools and connected apps

The official setup path lets a team give an agent selected modules, scenarios, or MCP tools. This is how an agent can use the connected application landscape, while the scope remains limited to what the team explicitly exposes. A broad integration catalog does not automatically authorize every action in an account.

Visibility and human controls

Make describes step-by-step decision visibility in the canvas. A team can set rules, add manual approvals, or stop an agent at specified points. These controls matter when a result can change a customer record, notify someone, or start a paid downstream action.

Frequently asked questions

Is Make AI Agents a separate product from Make scenarios?

No. Make describes agents as being built, run, and debugged in the same canvas as its scenarios. A team should still decide which steps need AI judgment and which can remain fixed modules.

How should a team estimate Make AI Agent cost?

Start with the whole scenario. Make counts module actions as credits, and an agent workflow can include trigger, lookup, tool, and output actions in addition to the agent run. Use a representative volume and failure/retry assumption before choosing a credit band.

Can an agent be stopped or reviewed before an action?

Make says teams can set rules, add manual approvals, and stop an agent at specific points. Treat this as a configuration task: confirm the approval point covers the actual downstream action and test it with non-production data first.

Powerful Visual Automation for Complex Workflows

Make is a versatile visual automation platform that allows users to connect various services like WordPress, webhooks, HTTP requests, and OpenAI into complex workflows. It offers powerful automation capabilities with features like filters, retries, error handling, and integrations, making it suitable for both simple and advanced business processes. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, enabling users to visually design, test, and adjust workflows without needing extensive technical knowledge. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for businesses looking to streamline operations and reduce development and maintenance efforts. Make's value proposition lies in its ability to handle both straightforward automations and intricate logic within the same platform, providing a cost-effective solution for complex workflow needs. What I like best about Make is the flexibility of its visual automation platform. I use it to connect WordPress, webhooks, HTTP requests and OpenAI in fairly complex workflows without having to build everything from scratch. Once the scenario is correctly configured, the automation is very powerful: filters, retries, error handling and integrations make it possible to create robust business processes while keeping the workflow understandable visually. I also appreciate that Make can handle both simple automations and much more advanced logic within the same platform. Make offers very good value for the price, especially for complex workflows that would otherwise require custom development. For my use case, being able to connect WordPress, OpenAI, webhooks and other services in one visual platform saves both development time and ongoing maintenance effort. The value is strong, particularly as the automation becomes more complex. The main downside is that some technical issues are difficult to diagnose from the visual interface alone. I encountered a case where modules looked correctly connected on the canvas, but the actual scenario structure still treated them as orphaned modules, which caused unexpected webhook behavior. Error handling can also be a little unforgiving: a temporary HTTP/network issue can deactivate an instant scenario if no retry handler has been configured. It would be helpful if Make made these risks and the recommended retry/incomplete-execution settings more visible by default. Overall, the platform is powerful, but troubleshooting advanced scenarios sometimes requires digging deeper than the UI suggests. To enhance the user experience, it would be beneficial if Make provided more detailed diagnostic tools within the visual interface. This could include a module dependency map or a more intuitive error reporting system. Additionally, offering a guided setup for retry and error handling configurations could help users avoid common pitfalls and ensure smoother automation processes. Finally, integrating a community-driven knowledge base or forum directly into the platform could provide users with quick access to solutions and best practices shared by other users. Make helps me automate workflows between WordPress, webhooks, OpenAI and other services without having to build a custom backend for every integration. For my internship platform, I use it to receive new data, validate it, route it through an AI review process, handle retries and send the result back to WordPress automatically. This saves a significant amount of manual work and makes the process much more scalable and reliable. The biggest benefit is that I can design and adjust complex business workflows visually, test them step by step, and keep improving the automation without having to redevelop the whole system each time.

Error handling made our automations much safer in production

We use Make for orchestration that needs to remain visible to both development and operations. A typical scenario might start with a Custom Webhook, pass through Routers and Filters, and then call external services through HTTP modules. This setup makes it easy to adjust a branch when a business rule changes, without having to ship another version of our API. Error Handlers are where the platform became much more reliable for us. We use Retry, Resume, Skip, Commit, and Rollback depending on the type of failure, and Incomplete Executions give us a way to recover after fixing the underlying issue instead of treating every run as disposable. We really noticed the difference during a synchronization when a provider started returning intermittent rate limits. Our earlier scenarios would simply stop and leave us guessing which records had actually made it through, but adding a retry path made the flow far more predictable. Data Stores have also been useful for keeping small pieces of state, supporting idempotency, and maintaining references between executions. What I still miss are stronger diff and review tools between scenario versions. As scenarios grow, it becomes harder to track what changed and why. To keep things manageable, we try to keep flows small and move more complex logic into .NET when automation shifts from orchestration toward core application code. Make is great for connecting systems, but business rules shouldn’t quietly evolve inside visual workflows that aren’t being properly reviewed. Our B2B onboarding used to start only after Sales closed an opportunity. From there, someone had to manually create the customer across three different systems, send the relevant details to Finance, and open several internal tasks. We replaced that entire handoff-heavy process with a Make Scenario triggered by a Webhook. The Scenario calls our ASP.NET Core API to validate the CustomerId, then uses a Router to split the flow by product and region before creating the required records in the external tools. To prevent duplicates, we used a Data Store to persist the event ID so repeated webhooks wouldn’t create the same customer twice. We also added Error Handlers to retry temporary failures, without replaying steps that had already completed successfully. The first version surfaced a design mistake on our side: one branch continued even when the API returned a pending state. Instead of piling on another layer of conditions inside Make, we moved that rule back into the backend and allowed the Scenario to proceed only after receiving a valid decision. That kept the automation valuable without turning it into yet another place where domain logic lived. Overall, we ended up with fewer manual handoffs, fewer copy/paste errors, much clearer visibility into which system was blocking a run, and a workflow we could automate confidently without pulling critical rules out of our .NET architecture.

Powerful, Evolving Automations with AI—Reliable Runs, Great Value, Helpful Support

I love the ability to create automations with almost any platform and how Make is constantly evolving to make automations easier and better. I love that I am able to use AI to help build scenarios but also include AI performance in my scenarios. Once a scenario is set up correctly, it runs perfectly and consistently. The price for Make is very reasonable considering everything they offer. Support has been responsive and helpful. If you make an infinity loop accidentally, you can zap all your credits and even go into a deficit. I did that and when I reluctantly purchased more credits to help get me to end of the month when my supply would renew, my extra credits went towards the deficit. That was a learning experience. I'm a small business owner with multiple income streams. Automating my business processes helps me perform at a high level without the benefit of staff. This means I can spend my time earning and less time administrating.
