Inspiration
I saw so many SMBs struggle with manual, repetitive work and can't find a way to automate them. I want to help them so I built Aqua Blue, an AI workflow builder that turns natural language instructions into deterministic automations.
What it does
User gives job descriptions. AI builds workflows. Software runs them automatically. It's like n8n but very user friendly. Using it requires no technical knowledge.
How we built it
It was almost 100% vibe-coded using Codex but it's not easy as it sounds.
Challenges we ran into
I want to make AI can build workflows just by chatting with it, but the reality is even the cutting edge models can make mistakes. So how to catch those at workflow build time instead of run time is the #1 challenge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I built a workflow engine from scratch. It has sophisticated contracts to connect different external services (e.g. Google Sheets, Instagram, Shopify etc), validators and runners.
What we learned
Building an AI agent is easy. Building one that works reliably is hard.
What's next for Aqua Blue
Right now Aqua Blue is private-testing with e-commerce sellers. I plan to test with more users and refine the product.
