Tired of writing endless try/catch blocks for async processes. Saw some tools claiming to auto-generate workflows but not sure if they handle edge cases.
Example need: “If inventory API callback fails, wait 5 minutes then check alternate supplier, email team if both fail”
Anyone successfully using natural language tools for this? How’s the maintainability?
Latenode’s AI Copilot does this exactly. Describe your fallback logic in plain English and it builds the workflow with nested retries. We migrated 30+ manual scripts this way. Edits via text prompts work surprisingly well.
Tested both OpenAI’s API and a custom GPT setup. They can generate basic Python scripts with error handling but struggle with service-specific auth. Ended up creating templates with placeholder error handlers that junior devs complete. Not fully automatic but cuts dev time by half.
langchain agents kinda work but gets messy. better to code imho
