Hello! I run a small e-commerce team. What kinds of work can I automate with AI agents?

Recorded input from the real run

Replays the recorded run on the canvas

Deterministic replay of a real Heym run recorded on 2026-07-28. Every step, output, and timing is genuine. Nothing is simulated.

Paste it straight onto your Heym canvas.

What happens in this run

The smallest useful agent workflow on the Heym canvas: a text input feeds an Agent node, and the agent’s real response lands in the output. It is the exact flow we recommend building first, and this is a real recorded run of it, not a scripted animation. The same canvas then scales into full AI agent workflows: attach tools the agent can call at runtime, add RAG over your own documents, or orchestrate multiple agents as a team. Watching this three-node run is the fastest way to understand how AI workflow automation feels in Heym before you self-host it.
