Make.com Next-Gen AI Agents (NEW: Feb 2026)
What it is
Make just launched a new generation of AI Agents within their platform. Instead of blank canvas builds, users get ready-made agent templates for real-world scenarios (inventory management, research, triage, reporting). Combines deterministic automation with agentic reasoning, a major upgrade for non-coders.
Why we picked it
This is a direct platform update relevant to what AutomateFirst teaches. Students can now build AI agents in Make without starting from scratch. Highly teachable.
How you might use it
Your first automation is almost always simpler than you expect. The Automate Your First Workflow module helps you pick one small, repetitive task and connect it up. Start there. Run it once. Then decide what to do next.
