Show HN: Automate your workflow in plain English
operator23 lets non-technical operators describe a workflow in
plain English and run it across their tool stack, hubspot, apollo,
monday, google drive and others. no builder, no if-then config,
just a description and a review step before anything runs. We
talked to marketing ops people recently to validate whether we are
solving the right problems. Three things came up every single time.
Setup complexity. People are not afraid of automation in theory.
They are afraid of spending two hours configuring conditions and
field mappings, only to have something silently misroute. The
config layer is where confidence dies. Debugging. When a workflow
breaks there is usually no explanation. A trigger did not fire,
data passed null downstream, a sequence stopped. You find out three
weeks later when someone downstream asks a question. Nobody knows
where it went wrong so they delete it and go back to doing it
manually. No trust without control. Everyone wanted to keep a
review step before the system acts on its own. Not forever, but
until it had proven itself across enough edge cases. The unlock for
automation adoption is not fewer steps, it is making it safe to
delegate gradually. What we are building is a system that
addresses all three. Plain English input so setup is fast, step-by-
step explanations so debugging is readable, and staged autonomy so
trust is earnable. For founders who have built or managed GTM and
marketing ops teams: does this match what you have seen. And is
there a fourth problem we are missing.
