    Quick Answer

    With Automation Preview, you can see the step graph of your agent automations immediately – not just after minutes of waiting.

    Replit brings Automation Preview for all agent builders. Visualize your automation workflows in seconds instead of minutes.

    What is Automation Preview?

    When you create a new automation, Automation Preview shows:

    • The step graph of the planned actions
    • The dependencies between steps
    • Potential issues before execution

    Why is this important?

    Faster Debugging

    Previously, you had to wait for an automation to run to see what was happening. Now:

    • Instant visualization
    • Early detection of issues
    • Iteration without waiting time

    Better Understanding

    The step graph shows:

    • Which actions in what order
    • Parallel vs. sequential execution
    • Error handling and fallbacks

    Application in Practice

    Complex Workflows

    For automations with many steps:

    1. 1Preview shows the structure
    2. 2Optimization potentials become visible
    3. 3Adjustments before the first run

    Team Communication

    Share the step graph with colleagues:

    • Visual explanation instead of long descriptions
    • Shared understanding
    • Better planning

    Conclusion

    Automation Preview makes the development of agent automations more efficient. Quick feedback and visual clarity significantly speed up the work.
