Break down complex processes into discrete steps that AI agents can automate, with recommendations for no-code tools

When to use it: Breaking complex tasks into automated workflows, identifying automation opportunities, planning AI agent implementation

I need to automate [PROCESS NAME]. Help me break this down into discrete steps that an AI agent can handle.

Current process:
[Describe your manual process step-by-step]

For each step, identify:
1. Input data required
2. Decision points
3. Output/action
