This is a solid automation need — text manipulation (search & replace, case conversion, splitting strings) is the kind of glue action that makes complex workflows actually work.
Good news: we've already shipped a piece of this! In v5.134.0 (Jan 2025) we added a "Transform Array Into String" action for automations. And in v5.166.0 we added a "Plain Text to Media" action as well. The text transformation toolkit has been growing.
For more advanced formatting needs right now, Taskade Genesis (https://taskade.com/create) is worth exploring — you can instruct an AI agent to handle text transformations as part of a workflow (e.g., "take this output and convert it to title case, then split by newline"). It gives you a lot of flexibility without needing a dedicated action for every transformation type.
That said, dedicated format/transform text actions like find-and-replace and case conversion are genuinely useful and your vote here keeps them on our radar. Thanks for the detailed examples!

Actually, this is almost live and doable with our latest update.
You'll be able to structure output from AI Agent results.

Narek Zograbian Yes, Ai agents can do that, but native programming languages are much more efficient for this task and they have a predictable output. LLM have their place, but not the solution for everything.

derpat: Then in that case, I'll move this back to under review. We have a workaround for it as noted above, but it's not the one you're looking for here too.

derpat: With Structured Output, this should be resolved now. Let me know what you think!
