About
Trace is a workflow automation platform that routes tasks to the right agent – human or AI. We enable enterprise-grade context and AI orchestration in mid-sized teams.
Trace breaks workflows into clear steps, sends repetitive tasks to AI agents, and routes the rest to the right people while respecting permissions and logging every action.
We help teams cut busywork and unify AI tools across departments – helping companies adopt AI in days rather than months.
