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.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
