What it is

Make an AI desktop agent that works on its own to automate tasks.

What you can make with it

Automations like: when a new Stripe customer signs up, add them to Notion and send a welcome email via Resend.

How it helps

Saves time and increases productivity by letting your AI agent automate repetitive tasks in the background.

Real use case example

"A founder, Alex, wants to automatically add new Stripe customers to their Notion database and send a welcome email. They set up a Skales agent, connect it to Stripe and Notion, and write a simple workflow. Now, every time a new customer signs up, the agent adds them to Notion and sends a welcome email without Alex needing to lift a finger."

Quick start

2Configure the agent to use one of the 15+ supported AI providers, such as setting up a BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) configuration

Heads up: Make sure to configure the AI providers correctly, including setting up any required API keys or credentials, as Skales will not function without proper configuration
