Standard Procedure and Make
Make builds workflows called scenarios on a visual canvas, with connections to 3,000+ apps. Usage is billed in credits. Maia, in public beta on paid plans, can create and debug scenarios from prompts.
Standard Procedure drafts a procedure from your instructions. You assign steps to agents and teammates and choose where work needs review. Approval requests arrive in Now.
When you edit or correct an agent’s work, the procedure learns automatically and uses the lesson on future jobs. Your data, procedures and the knowledge built from those corrections remain yours.

What Standard Procedure offers
- Learning from everyday corrections
- Every edit or correction to an agent’s work becomes a lesson automatically. Agents use relevant lessons on future jobs, so the procedure improves as your team reviews work. You don’t have to save the lesson or update the instructions yourself.
- People are part of the procedure
- Standard Procedure assigns steps to teammates in their work lists, with approval requests in Now. Make’s catalog includes approval apps such as HITL that can add manual review to a scenario.
- Calls to other systems ask first
- Calls an agent makes through a connection start out waiting for a person. You let a call run on its own once you trust it. Only a person can make that change.
- Systems that aren’t built in
- Attach a system’s API documentation and an agent drafts the connection with every call switched off. You confirm where it sends data and type in the key yourself.
- You keep your data and procedures
- Your business keeps its data, procedures and learned knowledge. The details of how your team handles a job stay in your workspace, including the lessons built from corrections.
- Agents never see your keys
- An agent knows a connection by its name. The key is encrypted and added on the server as each call goes out.
