Zapier AI
Automation across 7,000 apps, now describable in plain English.
FreemiumFrom $19.99/mo
Overview
Zapier's AI layer lets you describe an automation in plain language and have the workflow built for you, and adds AI steps inside those workflows — classifying incoming messages, extracting fields from documents, or summarising a record before it is filed somewhere else.
Its real advantage remains the integration catalogue. Nothing else connects this many applications, so the AI is most valuable as a step inside a chain that touches systems no single assistant can reach.

Natural-language workflow building lowers the barrier considerably.
AI steps handle classification, extraction, and summarisation mid-workflow.
Agents can run multi-step tasks across connected systems.
Mature platform with reliable execution and error handling.
