Activepieces
Activepieces is an open-source automation platform with flows, AI agents, tables and 760+ app integrations, available in the cloud or self-hosted.
About this tool
Activepieces is an open-source alternative to Zapier that combines chat, AI agents, automated flows and data tables in one workspace with more than 760 app integrations. Teams can describe a job in plain language and let an agent handle it across tools, checking in only when needed, or build step-by-step flows visually.
Integrations, called pieces, are written in TypeScript, and every piece becomes available as an MCP server for AI agents. The platform runs on the vendor’s cloud or on your own servers, including fully air-gapped deployments, and companies can embed its flow builder and agents in their own products under their own brand. A free plan includes 1,000 credits a month with no card required.
