The next generation of Make AI Agents: Visual, transparent, reusable

At Make, we're builders. Building AI products means more than ever fully understanding our foundations, looking to the future, and shipping more capable new breakthroughs that help you drive better results.

And at Waves '25, Make's annual community event, I had the chance to introduce hundreds of in-person attendees to the most exciting example of how we're living out this philosophy. We've taken our powerful existing Make AI Agents, doubled down on the platform-wide visual properties and transparency that Make users love, and leveled up the whole game. We've just unveiled the next generation of Make AI Agents.

These evolved Make AI Agents are how you'll grow from deterministic workflows to adaptive intelligence with unrivaled speed and clarity thanks to Make’s hallmark of visual orchestration. This new step up is how you'll unlock more value, faster. Let's take a look.

The automation spectrum

Let's keep in mind that automation isn't one thing: it's a spectrum. The automation spectrum spans from  rules-based steps that reliably produce predictable outputs to AI-enhanced workflows better able to handle fuzziness and flexibility to adaptive, context-aware, autonomous decision-makers. Put simply, there's deterministic automation on one end and fully non-deterministic agentic automation on the other.

The first generation of Make AI agents released earlier this year was a vital first step in pushing the Make platform into the agentic end of the spectrum. The past months have been a crucial testing ground, introducing users to embedding generative AI in workflows, and together we've seen Make users develop real use cases and prove real value.

But we always knew this was just going to be the start. The next generation we're introducing today builds on that foundation: it's a logical next step, a complementary evolution that incorporates your feedback and Make's visual DNA to deliver more transparent and scalable capabilities that unlock more value.

Crucially, this latest addition to our platform does something even more impressive: it solves the black box problem. Make AI Agents' means non-deterministic tasks are now even more visual, explainable, and reusable.

With the next generation of Make AI Agents, Make is pushing agentic automation further than ever before. In other words, the Make platform uniquely spans the entire spectrum of automation possibilities, providing you with the tools you need to tackle any case that needs automating.

What’s new in next-gen Make AI Agents

Our latest AI agents improvement does this thanks to breakthrough features aimed at enhancing the clarity, control, and scalability you experience while using agentic capabilities. This is AI that infuses automation with intelligent actions that can reason and adapt.

Here's how this generation of Make AI Agents unlocks value in a nutshell.

• Build in the Scenario Builder: Agents are now first-class citizens inside the visual Scenario Builder, making it simpler and faster to deploy them in the environment you're already comfortable with.

• Transparency with visual execution plus a reasoning panel: See step-by-step logs, tool calls, and, soon, reasoning all displayed as your agents work, ensuring you understand and control everything they're doing.

• Shareable and reusable: Agents become scalable assets, not one-time experiments. Share them across scenarios, teams, and clients so more collaborators can benefit from your agents.

• Dynamic routing: You can empower routers with adaptive logic in a single step – letting AI decide the right way to tackle a task.

• Redesigned UI: Smoother prompt management and better error handling and an overall cleaner environment makes for a clearer and more intuitive way to benefit from AI.

• Full context and file support: Continuing to build out our AI Agents is never done. So coming up on our roadmap, you'll soon be able to provide your agents with multimodal inputs like documents, images, and audio to give them the info and specificity needed for the most accurate outputs.

Powering agents with Module Tools

But these evolved Make AI Agents don't stand alone: our recently released Module Tools are their ideal companion. Available now on all plans, Module Tools allows you to turn any module into a callable tool instantly, no full scenario needed.

Module Tools speeds up tool creation and simplifies experimentation, letting your agents do more, faster. Simply put, it's the ideal bridge technology: an easy entry point for beginners and a modular foundation for advanced agentic users.

Reusing agents and scaling to an organization-wide library

Just as each employee handles multiple tasks across their company, the next generation of Make AI Agents will lend a hand wherever they're needed. That's why our vision extends beyond just building powerful, visual new ways to use agents and giving them the Module Tools to do more: we're giving you the flexibility to share and reuse them across your organization.

With one click-sharing, you can capture your best work once and let your colleagues in on the power, no extra configuration required. Or you can share your agent as a basis and let another team continue to fine-tune it for their unique needs. In this way, the evolved Make AI Agents will become permanent, reusable assets that power results at multiple points throughout your business.

Before long, we'll let our most enthusiastic builders extend their reach beyond just their own organization – we'll give them the power to share their Agents with the public. A curated library of expert-built agents is coming soon, giving everyone in the Make community ready-made head starts for common challenges.

The real differentiators: Transparency and trust

The new Make AI Agents' transparent design and accessible reusability is a continuation of what customers have come to know and love from all of Make's features – deterministic as well as agentic. Our visual-first approach is why our product is uniquely intuitive, approachable, and more powerful in the hands of more users.

Applied to agents in particular, a visual element makes them explainable by design. Logs, structured inputs/outputs, and, soon, reasoning panels displayed as you build and run your agents’ workflows rather than hidden deep within menus. This puts spotting issues and fine-tuning results at your fingertips rather than making them a guessing game.

But it's not just easier. This focus directly addresses the biggest blocker to agentic automation adoption across enterprises: trust. Reliable outputs and the ability to explain how agents work is how Make will cement agentic capabilities within companies' day-to-day operations. Visual AI Agents aren't just a new phase for Make, but a new phase for organizations who want to seize actual value from agentic automation.

Shape the future of Make AI Agents 

At Waves, we didn't just lay out our vision of what's next for agents – we also gave attendees an exclusive first chance to sign up for our early access waitlist. They will be the first to get hands-on with the revamped AI agents during our closed beta period.

But we've come as far as we have into the Agentic Age thanks to learning with a wide cross-section of Make users. We want the new generation of AI agents to continue that tradition. So while waitlist spots are very limited and Waves attendees will get priority, use the link below to sign up while slots remain. 

A new era of agentic automation

The age of agentic automation is just getting started, and we're excited to bring our exceptional and exceptionally powerful approach to the conversation with the next generation of Make AI Agents. Sign up to the waitlist and stay tuned for our launch date – then get ready to build.
