Wiring tools together so the work runs itself. The workflows, agents, and quiet systems behind Morvion.
The most expensive automation mistake is reaching for an autonomous agent when a fixed workflow would do. Anthropic draws the line clearly — and so should you.
Before you reach for a full agent, there are five composable building blocks that solve most of the work. Knowing them is the difference between writing automation and reinventing it.
Every automation needs a starting gun and a way to reach the systems it touches. Triggers decide when a workflow runs; connectors decide what it can read and change. They are the wiring most outages actually live in.
An agent that can only talk is a chatbot. An agent that can act needs tools — and a clean way to reach them. This is exactly where MCP fits the automation story.
Real automation runs in a world that fails — networks drop, APIs time out, machines restart. Durable workflow engines are built so a job can fall over and pick up exactly where it left off.
An agent that can act on its own can also fail on its own. Guardrails, human checkpoints, and stopping conditions are what make autonomy safe to ship — and Anthropic is direct about why.
The whole premise of automation is that it runs without you. That same premise demands you can see what it did, prove it's still right, and know what it costs — without watching.
