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.
The workflow evolves as you go. Trace sees iteration as natural, not an error, which makes it approachable and adaptable for any process.
What needs improvement
Would love to see richer reporting tools and more ways to integrate with data sources.
vs Alternatives
With Notion and Wordware I often felt stuck after setup, and changes felt clumsy. Trace builds on change, making it a better choice for teams who want to grow their processes over time.
Letting me turn a rough prompt into an ordered workflow is colla nad all. I like how it lets me edit and assign steps as I work instead of having to get it perfect up front.
What needs improvement
Would be great if the workspace supported more tool connections and a few collaboration options for teams.
vs Alternatives
I’ve tried using Notion templates and Make for this kind of thing, but Trace just removes a lot of the confusion and manual setup. It actually fits how my real-world process works vs forcing me to plan it all in advance.
Makes my messy thoughts real workflows in seconds. The visual graph lets me see what depends on what, so I don’t miss a step. Super easy to move things around, huge time saver.
What needs improvement
Would like more connector options and maybe a little smoother UI for big workflows.
vs Alternatives
I’ve tried Make and relay.app but they always feel a bit rigid, especially when plans change. Trace’s visual editing and easy assignment won me over after one use.
Turning vague plans into actionable workflows is fast, and hybrid nodes map closely to my team’s habits. Makes it easy to break down and delegate each step.
What needs improvement
Notifications lack detail on failed or stuck runs. Would like more timely alerts and error context.
vs Alternatives
Notion and n8n were options, but Trace’s workflow generation and mixed assignment fit our process best. Feels more collaborative out of the box.
I get transparency and control at every step. Hybrid delegation means I can trust the workflow in real scenarios. Tags: hybrid approach, human in the loop
What needs improvement
Better docs for edge cases and expanded plugin options would help.
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.

Used Trace several times at home, but was not allowed to use at work sadly. I work in finances and since Trace requests data to docs, so it's not allowed. I did use trace to summarise hackerNews articles and get the digest to my email everyday and it works very well. I want to schedule the runs though! It’s still early, but the core idea is strong.
An excellent workflow tool that can directly turn your simple ideas into a workflow, which is highly similar to your original thoughts.
vs Alternatives
You can directly turn your rough ideas into an initial workflow. The difficulty often lies in organizing your thoughts into a logical and structured process, but trace effectively solves this problem.
Trace is amazing. It helps me think. Basically, I throw in a goal, Trace builds a workflow, and I refine it from there. I’ve been using it for posting to Twitter as part of larger workflows. Would love a way to debug agent runs step by step.
