Spawnbase

Quickstart

Spawnbase is an AI-powered workflow automation platform. Describe what you want to automate in plain English, and the AI copilot builds it for you. Then fine-tune with the visual canvas.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • A Spawnbase account (sign up here)

In the copilot chat, describe what you want to automate:

Every day at 9am, fetch my unread emails,
summarize them with AI, and send the summary to Slack

  • Connections - How data flows between nodes

Click any node to see its configuration in the right panel.
