Abstra

Abstra is a workflow engine for automating and orchestrating business processes. It marries code with AI productivity tools so you can see exactly what your company is doing. The tool lets you automate business processes at large scale without losing control or flexibility.

Abstra's Python-based, AI-infused workflows let you build production-ready solutions in a fraction of the time. Some of its features include:

• Smart Forms: Interactive forms that can include custom logic and sophisticated integrations, with a user interface that works well for linear processes.
• Forms: Automations that can be triggered manually, with a user interface.
• Jobs: Automations that run at a scheduled time.
• Hooks: Automations that run when a request is made.
• Access Control: Authentication and permission controls using SSO or SAML providers.
• Auditable Logging: Logs that are transparent and can be exported for compliance auditing.
• On-Premise Hosting: The ability to host on your own infrastructure so data stays behind your firewall.
• Connectors: Support for integrating with databases, internal APIs or external services.
• Native Database: The ability to create and manage PostgreSQL tables through an intuitive interface for storing and querying data.

With Abstra, you can automate things like credit onboarding, send custom emails based on data in a spreadsheet, and generate documents with complex logic. You can also collect leads and send payment notifications in real-time with integrations with tools like Slack.

Abstra has a few pricing tiers:

• Starter: $300 per month for up to 2 editors, an AI assistant and scalable hosting. Good for small teams getting started with basic process automation.
• Pro: Custom pricing for teams with more advanced governance and orchestration needs, including features like AI-powered Stages, OIDC SSO and dedicated support.

Early-stage startups and nonprofit organizations can get discounts of up to 70% in the first year. Abstra's VS Code Extension lets you build functionality by dragging and dropping widgets, linking them to Python scripts and deploying to the cloud with a click.

In short, Abstra is designed to make business process automation easier and more efficient by combining the power of code with AI features. It can be used in a variety of industries, including finance, customer support and sales operations.
