Open-source AI automation that unifies agents, flows and 770+ app integrations
Describe a task in everyday words and the agent determines the steps, chooses tools from your connected apps and MCP servers, and pauses for approval on sensitive actions.
Build automations on a canvas with branching, retries, waitpoints, subflows and error handling, then write inline TypeScript for the steps that need real code.
Every piece is MIT-licensed and community-built, covering the apps you already run, with an HTTP piece for any REST or GraphQL endpoint with auth and pagination handled.
Draft flows by chatting, store structured data in Tables that flows and agents can read and write, and keep internal documents searchable by every agent.

AI-powered visual workflow builder for backend APIs and automations
Describe your idea in natural language and the AI generates the workflow logic and nodes automatically.
Connect data, tools, AI models, and APIs with prebuilt nodes instead of writing everything from scratch.
Fine-tune behavior, add custom JavaScript or TypeScript, and debug easily when no-code is not enough.
Launch on BuildShip Cloud with pay-per-use hosting, or export code and self-host on your own infra.
