One capability layer that connects any AI agent to 400+ apps and 27,000+ actions
Authorize an app a single time and then use that same connection across supported agent clients and automation platforms.
Start from a library of proven workflows for research, outreach, content creation and operations rather than authoring everything yourself.
Reach granular actions in development, sales, research and ops tools, including niche and long-tail apps that generic agents miss.
Every action is logged with status and cost, while OAuth tokens and API keys stay in the Vault and never reach the agent as raw credentials.

The AI coding agent for building ambitious software
An agentic mode that plans changes, edits several files at once, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete.
Background agents spin up their own environments to build, test, and demo features in parallel, then hand back results for review.
Fast inline suggestions plus codebase-wide semantic search and indexing so answers reflect your actual repository.
Switch between leading frontier models from multiple providers, or let Cursor select a model automatically for each task.
