Supercharge your business processes by integrating AI into automated workflows
Workflow automation platforms like N8N, Zapier, and Make allow you to integrate Large Language Models into your existing tools and processes—without writing complex code. Automate repetitive tasks, enhance data processing, and create intelligent workflows that respond to events across your entire tech stack.
Workflow automation connects different apps and services together to create automated business processes. When you add LLMs to the mix, you unlock powerful capabilities:
Instead of manually processing every email, document, or customer inquiry, you can build workflows that handle routine tasks automatically while escalating complex cases to humans.
Visual workflow builders let anyone create AI-powered automation. Connect apps with drag-and-drop interfaces.
Connect AI to 1,000+ apps: Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, Google Sheets, databases, APIs, and more.
