A workflow automation platform that connects 200+ apps and AI models to automate collaborative business processes. It differs from classic automation tools by treating people as first-class steps — approvals, data-input forms, and AI-output reviews — and by offering native AI extraction, classification, and custom AI steps across providers. Founded by ex-Google Gmail/Calendar PM Jacob Bank.

    Agentic automation. Long-running agents instead of one-shot triggers.

    Builds AI agents that wait for emails, calendar invites, or webhooks — then take multi-step actions on your behalf. The 'agentic Zapier' pitch; strong for ops workflows that need judgement, not just routing.
