But does that require AI agents? Well, maybe the extraction step, if it's not CSV but a general-case web page.

Maybe in the middle, processing the items - classifying, summarizing.
But the post bills the tool as an n8n alternative. Therefore, I am evaluating it as such. Solid basics before the AI whizbang.

the agents would be great in the instructions where we need to `do something`, but asides from that is sounds like a pure orchestration task.
now, handling an integration to something like google sheets myself for a task this small is a nightmare, not to mention the separate table I'd need to keep to store the access token & refresh token and the permissions I'd need to get from google. on top of that, hosting it somewhere and then monitoring it.
