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.
Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.
