Zapier
Zapier is an automation platform that connects more than 9,000 apps and runs AI workflows and agents, from fixed steps to fully agentic tasks.
Zapier connects more than 9,000 apps so that work moves between them automatically, and it now runs AI workflows and agents as well as classic Zaps. Workflows can be built in plain language, including from other AI tools, and range from fixed steps that run the same way every time to a single AI step, an embedded agent, or a fully agentic workflow that plans and asks for review when needed. Zapier calls this approach Fluid Determinism: it suggests where AI is useful and adds or removes AI steps as the workflow runs to save tokens. Besides Zaps, the platform includes Tables for data, Forms, webhooks, version history and central governance for admins. Zapier says more than 3 million businesses use it, and pricing is based on tasks, with a free plan of 100 tasks a month.
