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.

AI Follow-Up Workflow

AI Follow-Up Workflow

Follow-up fails for a simple reason: the next action is not captured when the conversation is still fresh. An AI follow-up workflow can review the context, prepare a relevant message, and create a reminder without forcing a team member to reconstruct the entire interaction later.

Define the moments that matter

Start with a small set of events: a new inquiry, a missed meeting, a proposal sent, or a customer who asked for time. Each event needs a timing rule, message purpose, and stop condition. More messages are not automatically better.

Preserve context

The workflow should use the actual inquiry, prior reply, requested service, and agreed next step. If the context is missing, it should say so. A generic follow-up is often worse than a short request for clarification.

Write for momentum

A useful follow-up is concise. Remind the person why you are writing, answer the open question, offer one clear next step, and make it easy to decline or defer. Keep the tone helpful rather than urgent for urgency’s sake.

Add safeguards

Stop when the person replies, opts out, books, or asks not to be contacted. Keep an approval step for new outreach until the workflow has demonstrated consistent quality. Log the attempt and the source context.

Review the system

Measure response quality, not just send volume. Review whether follow-ups contain the right details, happen on time, and lead to useful next steps. Remove sequences that create noise.

Conclusion

The best AI follow-up system protects context and timing while keeping the message human. Define triggers, write specific stop rules, verify the draft, and improve from real conversations. Actus Agent can help turn follow-up into a dependable workflow.
