Zapier AI Features:

  • Add AI by Zapier steps to Zaps (text summarization, extraction, classification)
    Use Copilot, the AI assistant inside Zapier, to build and refine workflows from natural language prompts
  • Deploy Agents inside Zaps that can make decisions, fetch data, and act autonomously
  • Call custom functions (e.g. Python code) within a Zap to handle complex logic
  • Use Global Variables to share values (URLs, tokens, names) across multiple Zaps
  • Support for analyzing images, audio, video with AI steps as input
  • AI Actions: let natural language commands trigger Zapier actions (send message, find record, etc.)
  • Integration with over 8,000 apps to automate across systems
  • Templates, built-in connectors, conditional logic, branching, error handling in Zaps
  • Analytics, visual debugging, and monitoring tools to track and troubleshoot workflows (Zapier’s product updates)

Zapier AI Description:

Zapier is a powerful automation and integration platform that now embeds artificial intelligence directly into workflows, making it easier than ever to automate both simple and complex tasks. At its core, Zapier connects thousands of web apps — from CRMs and email systems to databases and messaging tools — and lets users build “Zaps” (automated workflows) that trigger actions across systems without writing code.

The AI capabilities in Zapier amplify what automation can achieve. With AI by Zapier, you can add steps that understand and transform text, extract key data, classify inputs, summarize content, or generate replies — all seamlessly integrated in your workflow. You no longer need separate AI tools; Zapier’s built-in models (for example GPT and others) can be used directly, and you can also bring your own API to use particular language models. The platform supports analyzing more than just plain text — it can handle images, audio, and video inputs too.

Another leap forward is the Copilot feature. Copilot is an AI assistant that lives across Zapier’s editors and helps you design, configure, validate, and troubleshoot Zaps. You can describe what you want in natural language, attach sketches or screenshots, and Copilot can propose workflows, generate prompt drafts, or send you to the right editor. This lowers the barrier to entry and speeds up development for both nontechnical and technical users.

Zapier also introduces Agents: these are intelligent entities that can act as teammates inside a Zap. Agents can reason, fetch data, choose the next action, and adapt to changing conditions— for example, checking a record, deciding what to send in Slack, or calling external APIs as needed.

Beyond these AI enhancements, Zapier’s infrastructure supports advanced logic (branching, loops, functions), global variables (to reuse values across workflows), and integration with thousands of apps. It also provides tools for monitoring, debugging, analytics, error handling, and versioning. With AI-enhanced Zapier, teams can automate entire processes that were once manual, letting AI handle the messy or judgment-based parts while Zaps manage consistent, repeatable steps. This intelligent orchestration helps businesses scale, reduce errors, and free people from repetitive tasks — all in a no-code or low-code environment.
