Automatist - Pocket Workflows

Automatist is a workflow-first AI app for Android that helps you automate useful tasks from the device you already carry every day. Most automation tools assume you have a server, laptop, self-hosted setup, or time to manage infrastructure. Automatist is built for a different reality: you want useful automation in your hand, ready when you are. Build a workflow once, run it on schedule or on demand, and get outputs you can actually use - summaries, briefs, social posts, digests, action items, and more. Paste an article and turn it into a polished LinkedIn post. Pull your morning feeds and generate a social thread. Summarise notes into action items. Track news across multiple feeds. Turn saved notes into reusable briefs. No infrastructure to maintain. No desktop required. No chatbot chaos. Just clear inputs, clear outputs, and practical automation from your phone. FIVE TEMPLATES TO START WITH • News to Social Posts - RSS to per-platform social copy • Article Transformer - paste to summary, thread, or professional post • Morning Brief - daily digest from the feeds you care about • Stock Tracker - news roundup for any ticker • Flight Tracker - quick briefing on any flight number Or start from a blank workflow and build your own. ELEVEN ACTIONS TO COMBINE Every workflow is built from small, reusable actions: • Fetch URL - grab any web page • Paste Text - drop in raw content • RSS Feed / Multi-RSS - pull one source or merge many • API GET - call any public REST endpoint • Weather - current conditions for any city • Route Time - commute or travel duration between two points • Saved Notes - reusable content blocks • Previous Output - feed a past workflow result into a new one • Action Output - chain action results inside one workflow • AI Prompt - run a mid-workflow AI step Chain actions together, pass outputs from one step to the next, and let one workflow handle a task that would otherwise take multiple apps and repeated effort. AI THAT FITS YOUR SITUATION Choose the AI setup that works for you: • Cloud AI - use OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini • On-device AI - use Gemini Nano on supported devices • Offline AI - download Gemma 3 1B and run fully disconnected Create named AI Profiles and assign different models to different workflows. Use cloud models for speed, on-device models for privacy, or offline models when you want to work without internet access. AUTOMATION THAT STAYS WITH YOU Automatist is designed for useful, personal automation wherever you are. You do not need a server running at home. You do not need to wait until you get back to your laptop. You do not need a complex self-hosted stack to automate something valuable. Your phone becomes the place where automation actually happens. BUILT TO BE REVIEWABLE Every run produces a concrete result - a brief, a post, a digest, a summary - not an endless chat conversation. You stay in control: • Review outputs before sharing or copying • Inspect run history, stages, and durations • Retry failed runs • See exactly what happened in each workflow Nothing is auto-posted, auto-sent, or auto-shared. SCHEDULING AND VISIBILITY • Run workflows manually or on a schedule • Use daily, weekly, or interval-based triggers • Get optional notifications when runs complete • Review full run history with stages, outputs, and errors PRIVACY BAKED IN • No backend server • No analytics • No trackers • No ads On-device and offline modes keep your content local to your phone. Optional Google Drive backup uses a private app folder and never includes secrets. Your data stays on your device unless you explicitly choose a cloud AI provider. FREE AND PRO Free: • One custom workflow • All templates • All action types • All AI provider options Pro: • Unlimited workflows • One-time purchase • No subscription REQUIREMENTS • Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer • Offline AI needs around 3 GB RAM • Gemini Nano requires a supported Android 14+ device with AICore
