Triggered Agents by Adaptive

Adaptive describes itself as an AI coworker — agents you hire to handle recurring work, one-off projects, and the operational tasks that eat a founder’s week. The core workflow starts with a plain-language instruction or an uploaded document like a spreadsheet; the platform converts that into an agent that connects to your tools, executes steps in a loop, and keeps running in the background. The vendor page shows integrations with Gmail, Stripe, Square, and GitHub, so agents can pull from live data sources rather than static inputs.

The differentiating feature is parallel multi-agent execution. Rather than a single agent queuing tasks sequentially, Adaptive runs dedicated agents side by side — the vendor cites examples of one agent drafting patent applications while another sources manufacturers and a third drafts outreach emails. For a solo operator running two separate businesses from one interface, or a small team managing sales pipeline and product updates simultaneously, this separation matters: one slow task does not block the rest.

Adaptive fits best when the work is repetitive, multi-tool, and clearly describable in a sentence or two — sales follow-up, social posting, expense categorization, code repository monitoring. It fits less well when the workflow requires conditional branching based on what a prior step returned, or when your team needs to audit exactly which decision path an agent took through a multi-step process. The platform is not self-hosted, so teams with data residency requirements or air-gapped environments have no path forward here.

On the security side, the vendor states CASA Tier 2 certification, scoped OAuth permissions, and auditable workflow operations. Human approval gates are configurable at the step level — meaning you can require a sign-off before an agent sends an email or processes a payment without disabling automation on the surrounding steps. An iOS app is available for managing agents away from a desktop.
