Agents & Workflows
Agents and Workflows are the automation layer in Optimaite Workspace. Build custom AI agents and multi-step workflows to automate repetitive document tasks.
Agents (/agents)
Agents are configurable AI assistants with pre-defined behavior. Unlike ad-hoc AI prompts, agents run with a fixed system prompt, knowledge base, and output format.
Create an Agent
Open the Agents page
Navigate to Agenten in the sidebar (under Automation).
Define the agent
Set a name, description, system prompt, and output format. You can attach reference documents as a knowledge base.
Test and deploy
Test the agent with sample inputs, then publish it. Published agents appear in the AI panel for your team.
Example Agents
- Contract Reviewer — reviews contracts against your firm's playbook and generates a departure report
- Clause Drafter — generates standard clauses based on your firm's templates
- Translation Agent — translates documents while preserving legal terminology
Agents require the surface:agents_studio permission. Contact your admin if you don't see the Agenten section.
Workflows (/workflows)
Workflows chain multiple actions — AI and non-AI — into automated sequences.
Build a Workflow
Open Workflows
Navigate to Workflows in the sidebar.
Define steps
Add steps: generate document from template, run AI review, send for signature, notify team. Each step has configurable inputs.
Set triggers
Workflows can be triggered manually, on a schedule, or via webhook.
Activate
Save and activate. The workflow appears in your automation dashboard.
Example Workflows
- New Client Onboarding — create NDA from template → AI review → send for signature → notify partner
- Monthly Report — collect data from sheets → generate report document → email to distribution list
- Contract Intake — import Word document → AI extraction → populate template → file to data room
