About Activepieces

Activepieces is a game-changing, open-source AI Agent ecosystem designed to unlock the full potential of automation for everyone. It empowers individuals and businesses to build smart, autonomous AI agents that handle repetitive, time-consuming tasks without writing a single line of code. This transformative platform is built for non-technical users, operations teams, and developers alike, enabling them to move faster, reduce human error, and construct sophisticated AI-powered systems with ease. The core value proposition lies in its comprehensive ecosystem: you can create intelligent agents that connect to over 621 tools (like Gmail, CRMs, and databases), orchestrate them into collaborative teams, store data in integrated Tables, manage human approvals via Todos, and even extend the power of external LLMs like Claude and Cursor through Model Context Protocols (MCPs). Whether you choose the cloud version or self-host with Docker, Activepieces provides the robust, scalable, and secure foundation needed to transform workflows from manual chores into strategic, automated processes.

Features of Activepieces

No-Code AI Agent Builder

Unlock the power of intelligent automation with a visual, intuitive builder that requires zero coding. In just four simple steps, you can design AI agents that think, act, and make decisions. These agents can access a vast library of 621+ integrations, perform complex logic with conditions and loops, and even generate code with AI assistance, making advanced automation accessible to every team member.

Collaborative AI Agent Teams

Transform your operations with multi-agent collaboration. Activepieces allows you to deploy agents that work together as a synchronized team. For instance, one agent can qualify leads from a CRM, another can draft personalized follow-up emails, and a third can manage the new client onboarding process. This agentic teamwork creates a seamless, end-to-end automated workflow that operates independently.

Integrated Ecosystem: Tables, Todos & MCPs

Go beyond simple automation with a full-featured ecosystem. Use Tables as a central, smart database like Google Sheets that deeply connects to your agents. Implement Todos to keep humans in the loop for necessary approvals and reviews. Leverage Model Context Protocols (MCPs) to equip external AI tools like Claude and Cursor with the ability to use your Activepieces integrations as tools, supercharging their capabilities.

Open-Source & Enterprise-Ready Platform

Gain complete control, security, and customization with an open-source foundation. Deploy on your own infrastructure with Docker for maximum data governance. The platform is built for reliability with features like auto-retry, versioning, and comprehensive management tools. It also supports white-labeling and custom templates, making it robust enough for Fortune 50 companies while remaining accessible to startups.

Use Cases of Activepieces

Automated Customer Support Operations

Revolutionize your support desk by automating ticket triage, categorization, and initial responses. An AI agent can monitor Zendesk or email for new tickets, use AI to understand the issue, pull relevant customer data from a CRM, and either provide an instant solution or escalate to the correct human agent with all context, dramatically reducing resolution times and agent workload.

Intelligent Sales & Lead Nurturing Workflows

Transform your sales pipeline with autonomous lead management. Create agents that scour incoming leads from forms or LinkedIn, qualify them against your criteria in real-time, enrich their data, and instantly add them to your CRM. Another agent can then trigger personalized email sequences or Slack notifications to your sales team, ensuring no lead falls through the cracks.

Streamlined Internal IT & Employee Onboarding

Automate the repetitive tasks of internal operations. Set up agents to handle new employee onboarding by automatically creating user accounts across platforms like Google Workspace and Slack, assigning training modules, and managing equipment requests. For IT, agents can monitor system alerts, create tickets, and even execute predefined remediation steps, keeping operations smooth.

Dynamic Content Aggregation & Marketing

Supercharge your content strategy with AI-driven aggregation and distribution. Build an agent that monitors specific news sites, RSS feeds, or social media for relevant topics, uses AI to summarize the content, and then automatically formats and posts it to your company blog, LinkedIn, or newsletter. This keeps your marketing channels active with minimal manual effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Activepieces really free to use?

Yes, Activepieces offers a robust free tier on its cloud platform that allows users to explore core features and build automations. For advanced needs, higher usage limits, self-hosting, and enterprise features like white-labeling and custom templates, there are paid plans. You can also self-host the open-source version for free, giving you full control over your data and deployment.

How does Activepieces differ from traditional automation tools like Zapier?

While both offer no-code automation, Activepieces is fundamentally an AI Agent ecosystem. Traditional tools follow "if this, then that" rules. Activepieces agents can make decisions, reason through steps, handle unstructured data with AI, and collaborate with each other autonomously. It also provides a more integrated ecosystem with native data storage (Tables) and human-in-the-loop (Todos) features.

What are MCPs and how do they work with external AI?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is a standard that allows large language models (LLMs) like Claude or AI-powered editors like Cursor to securely connect to and use external tools. In Activepieces, MCPs enable these external AI applications to use your connected 621+ apps (like Gmail or your CRM) as tools, effectively turning them into powerful, action-taking AI agents managed through your Activepieces ecosystem.

Can I build my own custom integrations if an app I need isn't listed?

Absolutely. As an open-source platform, Activepieces is built for extensibility. Developers can create custom "Pieces" (integrations) using provided SDKs and documentation. You can contribute these to the community or keep them private for your own use. This ensures the platform can connect to any internal or niche tool your business relies on, future-proofing your automation investments.
