It's an exciting time for AI and automation. Yet, it can be tough to keep up with all the advancements, figure out what this means for your work, or even know what you should be doing with it.  

At Zapier, we want automation to work for everyone—no matter your tools or technical know-how. We think computers should do more work for you, so you can focus on what humans do best. 

That's why we're introducing new AI beta features to make automation more intuitive, help you get ahead with AI, and give you more ways to create custom solutions that drive your work forward. 

Build Zaps with AI

Your favorite Zapier features now have an AI power-up, so you can automate your toughest work and multiply your impact. Here's what's new:

AI-powered Zap builder

You know what you want to achieve with automation, but what if you're not sure how to get there? AI Zap builder gives you an automation jump start and helps you solve that blank page problem.

How it works: Describe what you want to accomplish, and we'll generate a Zap for you in draft form. Add your app connections, map your fields, and you're done. 

You're not locked in, either. You can tinker with your workflow as much as you'd like until you're ready to use it. Now it's faster than ever to turn your automation ideas into reality.

Formatter with AI

Our built-in Formatter tool transforms text, numbers, and other data into the format you need for your Zaps. Now Formatter comes with an AI assist, so it's easier than ever to make your app data work for you.  

Need to change a date format or extract a website link from a Zap step, but not sure how? Describe what you need, and we'll draft the Formatter step for you.  

You'll also get in-line suggestions for formatting data as you create your Zap, so you can prevent formatting issues from affecting your workflows.

Make your data match, faster. Try Formatter with AI

Code with AI

Code with AI is available within Code steps. Click "Generate with AI", write a prompt, and it will automatically generate code for you.

Sometimes the toughest work can be automated with a few lines of code. Whether you're a developer short on time or you haven't touched code since you had a Myspace profile, our built-in Code by Zapier tool can turn sentences into Python or JavaScript.

Here's how it works: Describe what you'd like to do, and we'll generate a code snippet for you. Tweak it or keep generating until you're happy with it, and then add it to your Zap. 

Now anyone can use the power of code to solve the toughest obstacles. You might even learn some coding skills along the way.

Zapier Interfaces

One-size-fits-all apps often don't cut it, so people use Zapier to connect their favorite tools and automate work behind the scenes. Now we're taking it center stage with Zapier Interfaces, a no-code app builder that lets you create your own personalized solution—from forms and landing pages to tables and Kanban views—all powered by automation.  

You can also use the magic of Al within Zapier Interfaces to create your own AI-powered chatbot.

Easily build bots that answer frequently asked questions, explain complex topics, or even provide personal coaching. Want to train your chatbot on specific information? Upload a text file and teach your bot how to provide personalized customer service. 

Once you create a chatbot within Interfaces, you can provide a prompt, specify how it should interact with users, customize the appearance to match your brand, and even embed it on your website. 

You can also trigger Zaps from your chatbot, so you can do things like track customer feedback on responses to refine your bot or send responses to your favorite apps. 

Tip: Not sure where to start? Try these chatbots that generate press releases and assess brand risk—created by Zapier's communication team. Then, try one of our in-product bot templates or follow our step-by-step chatbot tutorial to build from scratch.
