Your automations are probably more fragile than you think—and costing you way more time than they should. Micah started the year convinced there was no real difference between AI agents and regular automation workflows. He was wrong, and now he's obsessed.

In this eye-opening episode of Automate Your Agency, Alane and Micah break down the five (plus a bonus) critical differences between traditional A-to-B automation and AI agent workflows that are revolutionizing how smart businesses operate. They reveal why your current automations break every time someone adds an apostrophe or changes a date format—and how agents eliminate that technical debt forever.

From chat interfaces that let you refine outputs in real-time to agents that can retry failed tasks and fix their own errors, this episode shows you exactly why the future of automation is here. You'll discover how agents access databases, handle unstructured inputs, and choose their own tools—just like training the perfect intern who never needs a coffee break.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why traditional workflows require mapping every single scenario (and agents don't)
• How chat interfaces transform automation from rigid to conversational
• The database access that makes agents context-aware and incredibly smart
• Real examples of agents fixing their own JSON errors and date format issues
• Why you can stop building dropdown forms and rigid input requirements
• How agents reduce technical debt and scale with your changing business

This isn't about replacing automation—it's about building systems that think, adapt, and grow with you. If you're tired of automations that break every time you make a small change, or if you want to build workflows in minutes instead of weeks, this episode gives you the roadmap to agent-powered operations.
