AI Agents & Workflow Automation — LLMs That Take Real Actions, Not Just Chat🔥
The problem💯
Most "AI agents" on the market are still chatbots wearing a costume. They can answer questions, summarize docs, and sound convincing but they can't actually do anything inside a real system. They don't update records. They don't call APIs. They don't make decisions that matter.
When teams try to put them into production workflows, they either hallucinate, break under edge cases, or require so much guard railing that the agent becomes slower than the manual process it was supposed to replace.
What I built🔥
- Production AI agents that operate inside real workflows, taking structured actions, calling internal tools and APIs, working through multi-step decisions, and knowing when to ask a human.
- The agents handle the operational work teams actually want automated:
querying data and answering follow-ups, classifying and routing incoming items, updating records, generating reports on request, running multi-step workflows that combine several tools, and recovering gracefully when something doesn't fit the expected pattern.
Outcomes🙌
- Agents that take real actions, not just generate text
- Tool using LLMs with structured outputs and validation layers
- Multi-step workflows that complete reliably end-to-end
- Audit logs so every agent action is reviewable
- Human escalation built in agents know what they shouldn't decide
- Evaluation suites so improvements can be measured, not guessed at
SaaS products adding in-app AI assistants, ops teams automating internal workflows, fintech and back-office products with repetitive decision work, and any team that's tried building agents and watched them fall apart in production.
👋 I'm new to Contra and I did my first post without realizing I hadn't even introduced myself!
Hey I'm Katya, I'm an AI Systems Architect, marketer and yoga teacher.
I build AI systems that bring in business and handle the work behind it. A voice agent that calls new leads back within seconds and books the appointment. A pipeline that traced 16,900+ leads to the ads that brought them. Listing videos made from the photos a real estate agent already has.
The marketing side came first. I built the multi-channel campaign for Jay Shetty's launch (22 million followers). After that I discovered the tech world and when AI came along, I realized I'm a builder at heart and never looked back! Building is so much fun 🤍
Last thing, if you're building with AI video or automation, I'd like to see what you're working on
And if you're hiring: I may be new to Contra but definitely not new to this work. Reach out for AI agent builds, apps, websites or anything in between.

Then: 1 month, 1 template.
Now: 1 week, 15 templates.
Same designer, different workflow.
I wrote up how I built no-code.supply: fifteen website templates, each with its own brand, in HTML and React, and some in Framer too. Claude Code did most of the typing. I did the directing.
