Nudge things toward a resolution, automatically. Remind teams about deadlines, customers about invoices, or leads about offers. You can even teach your assistant to stick to a script.
Learn about leads
Teach assistants to get background on new leads and keep you up-to-date. Enrich your leads, search the data, and act on it in a single workspace.

New to AI? You’re not alone.
Here are some answers to common questions we get about how AI works
How do I improve the reliability of AI assistants?
Follow a few of our tips for writing an effective AI prompt: include helpful information upfront, give examples, define the expected formats length of response, and give assistants a role.
What is an activity?
Every time your assistant runs a behavior or instant action, we count that as an activity. Each run counts as one activity, no matter how many steps you use in the run. You can run up to 400 activities per month on a free plan, or up to 1,500 on a Premium plan. If you need more activities, let's talk.
Why don’t I get the same outcome from AI every time?
That’s because of non-determinism. That’s the fancy term describing why AI assistants will reply with different, but likely similar, answers to the same question. It’s a feature that’s core to Large Language Models (LLMs), and what makes LLMs different from computers, which will do the same thing every single time. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
How are activities counted for Zapier Team accounts?
If you have a Team account on Zapier, your team shares a pool of Central activities. For example, if you upgrade to a Premium plan for Central, you can run up to 1,500 activities across all the assistants your team creates.
What app actions can assistants perform on my behalf
Central assistants can only take actions in the apps you’ve connected and use the triggers and actions you’ve set up. When configuring a behavior trigger or action field in Central, you have the option to have the assistant always use the same value, pick from a specific set of values, have it guess the value, or not set any value. To provide additional control, you can add more details to your behavior instructions.
Can I use Central with my Zapier Enterprise account?
Not out of the box. Central doesn't currently support app and action restrictions that may be in place on an Enterprise account. If you’re on an Enterprise plan and would like to use Central, please reach out to us.
