Lime Connect

CRM
Velocity6.3

Lime Connect is welding its AI Agents and Workflows together into one customer-conversation runtime.

◆Current state
Lime Connect ships on a steady biweekly cadence, almost entirely focused on two surfaces: Connect AI (the agent and Copilot) and Workflows (deterministic automations). The pattern in the last two months is a deliberate convergence — AI Agents can now trigger Workflows, AI Agents can describe and generate a Workflow from natural language, and Workflows can capture documents that the AI then reasons about. Streaming chatbot responses and richer transcripts round out the AI feel; the rest is contact-rating UX, knowledge base scaling, and Copilot permissions.
◆Where it's heading
The product is moving past a clean split between 'AI does conversation' and 'Workflows do automation'. Each release brings them closer to a single layer where an agent can decide, dispatch, and follow up on multi-step business actions. Operator-side controls (permission gates, execution history, negative-rating filters) are growing alongside, which signals Lime is preparing this combined surface for buyers who care about auditability and oversight, not only capability.
◆Prediction
Expect the next sparks to formalise the AI-Workflow bridge — likely a unified builder where conversations and automations are designed in one canvas, plus richer agent-side analytics on which Workflows were triggered and outcomes. A WhatsApp-rich agent experience is the natural next push given the prior WhatsApp Automations work.

◆Recent moves

  1. 6d ago

    Improved AI and Workflow behavior (Release on May 12th, 2026)

    Connect AI Agents gain response streaming, and Workflows can split API response data into multiple variables. Both fit the broader pattern of tightening the AI/Workflow integration — streaming feels more agent-like, and richer API parsing makes Workflows more useful as agent tools.

    Combine AI and Workflows (Release on April 24th, 2026)

    ⚡ SPARK

    AI Agents can now trigger Workflows, and the Agent has access to the URL the contact is viewing. Together with finer-grained rating feedback and time-filtered actions, this release moves the product into agent-orchestrated business automation rather than parallel AI and Workflow tracks.

    Connect AI and Workflow enhancements (Release on April 9th, 2026)

    The knowledge base accepts larger text files, transcripts now show which AI action triggered when, API Actions can read contact field data, and Workflows can collect documents and pictures from contacts. Real but incremental capability work on the AI/Workflow joint surface.

    New ways to create Workflows and more improvements (Release on March 26th, 2026)

    ⚡ SPARK

    Workflows can now be authored from a natural-language description, with the AI assembling the whole flow. Combined with AI Agents using buttons and manual sitemap knowledge sources, this is the moment the AI starts producing the same automations it consumes.

    Release on March 12th, 2026

    AI Agents can hand off to Workflows in beta, Copilot actions can now require explicit permission before running, and the Message Center sidebar is resizable. The permission control especially fits a trajectory toward operator oversight of an increasingly autonomous agent.

    Release on March 9th, 2026

    Execution History gets better source rendering and filtering by negative ratings, AI Actions can be duplicated, and bot conversation analytics gets a dedicated tab for goals, topics, and surveys. The release shape signals teams are starting to need operational tooling for agents at scale.
