Use Case
Stop doing repetitive communication tasks manually. Lobster lets your AI agent handle them automatically through natural conversation. Lobster workflow runtime for deterministic pipelines with approval gates. Use when: (1) Running multi-step automations that need human approval before side effects, (2) Monitoring PRs/issues for changes, (3) Processing data through typed JSON pipelines, (4) Email triage or batch operations, (5) Any workflow that should halt and ask before acting. Lobster saves tokens by running deterministic pipelines instead of re-planning each step. This guide shows practical examples of using Lobster to automate common communication workflows and save hours every week.
