Field Notes Vol. 5-2025 | MESA Blog

🤖 ✨ May brought the future to MESA! We're thrilled to introduce MESA's new AI assistant, ready to transform how you build workflows. Plus, we've supercharged the entire platform with AI-powered suggestions and smarter automation tools that'll have you wondering how you ever worked without them.

Ready to see what's possible when AI meets automation? Let's dive in:

💬 Meet MESA's AI assistant

MESA's AI assistant is built to guide you with helpful prompts, recommend powerful MCP skills, and get you building faster by showing what’s possible.

Make your own skills for MESA's AI by building a workflow using the MCP trigger!

🧠 Add MESA's AI into any workflow

MESA's AI can also be added to any workflow using the Ask step. It’s a simple way to drop in, ask questions, and get a response mid-workflow. Use Ask for things like a weekly calendar summary or analyze support responses for reporting product issues.

🤖 Improvement: AI step suggestions

We added AI step suggestions in the workflow builder to help build faster and with less guesswork. When creating a new automation, you’ll now be asked to “Describe your workflow” so AI has more context to help suggest the next step of your workflow.
