lutra

Lutra AI is a code-first, natural-language AI automation platform that builds reliable, production-ready workflows for business and individual users.

Instead of relying on visual builders, Lutra writes actual code based on plain English prompts, ensuring precision and repeatability.

The platform connects deeply with tools like Gmail, Slack, Google Workspace, Airtable, HubSpot, and more—allowing you to automate data enrichment, research, email handling, and reporting tasks securely and reliably.

(the last point there is the party trick. you can connect your google cloud and let it work on that data directly)

Core features

  1. Natural language workflow creation
    • Describe a task in English (e.g., “Summarise unread emails and log them in a Google Sheet”), and Lutra will ask clarifying questions, then generate executable code to automate it.
  2. Code first execution
    • Unlike many AI assistants, Lutra produces real code with version control, secure credential handling, testing hooks, permissions, and audit logs—ideal for enterprise-grade automation.
  3. Deep integrations
    • Lutra comes with prebuilt connectors include Google Workspace, Slack, Outlook, Airtable, HubSpot, GitHub, ActiveCampaign, Xero, Stripe, Notion, HubSpot, HubSpot etc. Support for custom integrations via HTTP/REST, MCP, databases is available.
  4. Reusable playbooks
    • Save workflows as Playbooks, schedule them, and share across teams for consistent, repeatable execution.
  5. Security and compliance
    • SOC‑2 compliance, OAuth-based connections, secure authentication, and complete visibility into actions and logs.
  6. Autonomous and scheduled automations
    • Set workflows to run on a schedule or trigger events. Agents can monitor for conditions and execute without manual intervention.

Cool use cases to explore

  • Inbox management: Auto categorise emails, draft responses, and extract contact info.
  • Data enrichment: Pull prospect info from LinkedIn or PDFs and populate CRMs or databses or sheets.
  • Research and reporting: Aggregate, analyse, and visualise data from spreadsheets or web sources.
  • Business automation: Task routing, lead qualification in CRMs, invoice processing, etc.

How to get started

  1. Lutra is currently in beta at lutra.ai
  2. Connect tools (Slack, Gmail, Sheets, etc.) via UI or MCP endpoints
  3. Chat in english to start building workflows/playbooks —e.g., “Extract all new PDF invoices and log totals in Xero.”
  4. Review generated code, then save as a Playbook or schedule it.

Why this is a cool tool

  • Consumer grade precise automation with cloud accessibility
  • It is enterprise friendly with good version control, logging and compliance out of the box.
  • You can save and share playbooks and schedule them on particular triggers.
  • Potentially much faster to create workflows of this kind with no-code rather than having to do it in a visual editor.

Conclusion

Lutra AI transforms natural language into production ready code for reliable automations across multiple platforms without programming skills. Its enterprise-grade security, deep integrations, and reusable workflows make it ideal for data enrichment, inbox management, and business process automation offering precision without the complexity of visual builders.
