Origin Story

By Jan Oberhauser

The Problem

Zapier was great for simple automations but lacked the flexibility for complex workflows. Technical teams needed something they could self-host and extend with code.

Building It

Launched in 2019. Grew rapidly among developer teams. Now supports AI agent workflows alongside traditional automations.

What It Means

Workflow automation for teams that need more than Zapier offers — custom code, self-hosting, and AI agents.

The Dream

To be the automation platform that technical teams reach for when Zapier isn't enough.
