Automation ## Turn repeatable work into a workflow that runs itself. A drag-and-drop builder lets you wire the agent, your tools and your data into multi-step processes — no code. Workflows run on a schedule or fire on an event, and power users can author custom nodes for domain-specific steps. Every run is recorded so you can see exactly what happened. - Visual node editor — connect agent, tools, connectors and logic - Schedule runs or trigger them on events - Author custom nodes for your own processes - Edit triggers after creating them; export and import whole bundles of workflows - Full run history with inspectable results Helpers ## Big requests are split up and worked on separately. When a request has independent parts — check three suppliers, compare two contracts, read a whole folder — the assistant can hand each part to a helper. Every helper starts with a clean slate, does its piece, checks its own claims against what it found, and returns a short report. On an ordinary computer the win is focus: pages of raw research stay in the helper's memory instead of crowding your conversation. - Ten built-in helper roles, plus your own - Runs as many at once as your engine can genuinely handle, queues the rest - Always keeps room for the conversation you are in - Also available as a step in the workflow builder [Previous Your models, a real toolbox, your stack.](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/models-and-tools/) [Next Voice, and wherever you already talk.](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/voice-and-reach/) [All of AssistantGeneral features](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/assistant-general/features/)
