AI IRL
"Connect AI to your real business workflows in minutes — no code, no APIs, no prompt engineering. Just pick a template and go."
The Idea
AI IRL bridges the gap between powerful AI models and the messy, manual workflows that run most small businesses. Rather than requiring teams to prompt engineer or integrate APIs themselves, AI IRL provides pre-built workflow templates — invoice processing, customer email triage, meeting summarization, data extraction from documents — that connect to tools businesses already use (Gmail, Notion, Slack, Google Sheets) via a simple drag-and-drop interface.
The insight is that most small businesses already know what they want to automate; they just lack the technical overhead to wire it up. AI IRL removes that barrier by packaging the most common AI-powered automations as one-click templates with guided configuration.
Who It's For
Operations managers, founders, and small business owners at companies with 5–50 employees who are spending hours per week on repetitive information tasks (email sorting, data entry, document processing) and know AI could help — but don't have a technical team to build the integrations.
What's Built
In Scope:
- Auth and workspace setup
- Workflow template library (10 pre-built templates: email triage, invoice extraction, meeting notes, CRM data entry, etc.)
- Template configuration wizard (connect your accounts, set trigger conditions, define output format)
- Workflow run history and output viewer
- Manual trigger for on-demand runs
- Basic usage dashboard (runs per day, time saved estimate)
Out of Scope (v1):
- Custom workflow builder (drag-and-drop logic editor)
- Multi-step conditional branching
- Payment processing
- Mobile app
- Team collaboration features
