Zapier AI
An AI layer added to Zapier, the popular automation platform, that lets you build smart workflows using natural language.
Zapier AI is the umbrella name for the set of AI powered capabilities built into Zapier, one of the world’s leading platforms for connecting apps and building automations. It lets users describe in plain language what they want an automation to do, and the system builds the actual workflow for them.
The platform is aimed mainly at small and medium business owners, marketers, and operations managers who aren’t developers and want to save time on repetitive tasks such as managing leads, sending emails, and updating spreadsheets. Thanks to the thousands of supported apps, it’s relevant to almost any line of business.
Notable features include an AI chatbot that can answer questions and take actions within a conversation, a tool for creating automations from free form text, and AI agents that can carry out a sequence of steps on their own, such as classifying inquiries and sending tailored responses. The system also integrates with leading AI tools for processing text and images within the workflow.
In a typical workflow, Zapier AI connects a website contact form, a CRM system, an email tool, and a support chat, so every new inquiry is automatically classified, routed to the right person, and given an initial response without any human touch. This makes it a central bridge between the different systems inside an organization.

Reviews
-
Handy for quick fixes at 11pm when a zap breaks and I do not want to dig through the editor myself.
-
The AI powered zap builder saved time, though it still fumbled on a multi step Airtable to Slack automation and I had to finish it manually.
-
I described our lead routing process in one paragraph and it built a working zap connecting our form, CRM, and Slack in minutes.
-
Zapier AI now writes the filter logic for me when I describe what I want in plain English, saving probably an hour a week.
