make.com AI Agent Overview and Demo
make.com has launched its AI Agent, directly competing with solutions like Naden, and it is currently in beta, available only to randomly selected accounts.
The AI Agent is modular and can be triggered by messaging platforms (e.g., Telegram) to perform tasks like emailing, calendar checks, and sending invoices.
Demo scenarios included sending invoices and emails, and retrieving calendar events, demonstrating near-instant response and integration with third-party platforms.
Technical Setup and Configuration
The setup process involves creating a scenario in make.com, configuring the AI Agent with options for different language models (e.g., GPT-4 Mini), and defining prompts and safety limits (max tokens, recursion limit, iteration history).
Integration with Telegram (or other messaging services) requires setting up a webhook and obtaining API tokens via Telegram’s BotFather.
Thread ID and chat ID management are critical for maintaining message continuity and context within conversations.
Advanced Features and Troubleshooting
The AI Agent supports the addition of sub-agents (‘tools’) for performing specific tasks like searching calendar events, which requires modular workflow setup and custom input/output definitions for data mapping.
Array aggregators and scenario outputs are used to correctly structure returned data for multi-event responses.
Bugs encountered (e.g., tool description not saving) were acknowledged as part of the beta state, with workarounds and anticipated fixes in upcoming updates.
Blueprint Sharing and Community Resources
All blueprints (pre-built scenario templates) are available for free download and import via links in the description.
The community offers a repository of blueprints, weekly live calls for troubleshooting, and additional resources for learning and automating with make.com and its AI Agent features.
Product Limitations and Feedback
Current limitations include the need to create sub-agents for each new tool (rather than having all tools in one workflow) and minor bugs during setup.
Suggestions included streamlining tool integration within workflows and enhancing documentation around managing context (e.g., handling “today’s” date in automated queries).
Decisions
Continue using make.com AI Agent in beta — Attendees agreed to continue exploring and adopting the beta AI Agent despite minor bugs, due to its powerful capabilities and expected rapid improvements.
Open Questions / Follow-Ups
Will make.com expand tool integration to allow multiple tools within a single workflow in upcoming releases?
What is the timeline for the public rollout of the AI Agent feature to all make.com accounts?
Are there plans for additional language model options or improved documentation for context management?
