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.
Describe an app in chat and ship it
Describe your product in natural language and AI agents produce a functioning app rather than snippets or mockups.
Frontend and backend are generated together, so apps have real logic, data handling, and connectivity, not just UI.
Generated apps are deployed to a live URL right away, so you can share and test without setting up infrastructure.
The output is a standard codebase you can download, edit, and move into your own toolchain or repository.
Generates polished full-stack web applications faster, but offers less granular control over raw backend code configuration.
