An autonomous AI agent platform: you give an agent a goal in plain English and it plans, uses real tools, and delivers the finished work.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Actus has a free plan to get started, with paid plans that add higher limits and advanced features like scheduled automations and team workspaces.

Can agents run automatically on a schedule?

Yes — agents can run hourly, daily, or on a custom cadence, so routine work happens automatically without you starting it each time.

How is Actus different from a chatbot?

A chatbot replies with text. An Actus agent takes action: it uses real tools to research, write, build, and send, then returns a finished deliverable instead of just advice.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe your goal in plain English and the agent plans and executes the steps. Agents can write and run code when a task needs it, but you never have to.

Do I stay in control of what an agent does?

Yes. Irreversible actions require your approval, every run has budget and step limits, and each step is logged so you can see exactly what happened.

7 Practical AI Agent Workflows for Service Businesses

Service businesses lose time in the handoffs around the work: inquiries arrive in different channels, details are copied between systems, estimates wait for follow-up, and owners reconstruct context from memory. AI agent workflows can reduce that friction when they are designed around a clear outcome.

1. New inquiry triage

When a form, email, or message arrives, an agent can organize the request, identify missing details, classify urgency, and prepare the next response. A human should review unusual or high-risk requests.

2. Website opportunity research

An agent can inspect a public website for unclear services, missing proof, confusing calls to action, or difficult contact paths. The output should cite specific pages rather than make broad claims.

3. Estimate follow-up

After an estimate is sent, the workflow can schedule a context-aware reminder, stop when the customer replies, and alert the owner when a decision is likely. The message should add value instead of repeating “checking in.”

4. Review and proof collection

After a completed job, an agent can prepare a review request using the service context and route it for approval. It can also organize project photos or testimonials for future content.

5. FAQ content creation

Common questions from calls can become article briefs, service-page improvements, or internal scripts. Review is important because policies and pricing change.

6. Missed-call recovery

A workflow can record a missed call, prepare a fast reply, and create a task for a human. It should not promise availability or pricing without verified information.

7. Weekly operating summary

The agent can summarize open inquiries, stalled estimates, upcoming tasks, and recurring questions. A useful summary ends with owners and next actions.

Design principles

Start with one bottleneck. Define the trigger, context, actions, exceptions, approval points, and completion record. Keep an audit trail and review failure cases. Actus Agent helps businesses coordinate these steps at https://actusagent.cc.
