Automator turns AI into workflows: when a form is submitted or an order placed, an AI step can draft a reply, summarise or classify, then pass the result to other plugins. The MCP server lets outside assistants trigger those workflows.
The free Lite version limits app credits and AI usage, and Pro starts at $199/year, which is more than single-purpose AI plugins.
