Thanks :) Zapier is great, but we think LLMs can make automation way easier than it currently is; I personally end up automating a lot more stuff when there's a good chance it can take ~30 seconds (+/- some tweaking ofc).
Zapier is working on something very similar! We actually did our live launch at the same event as them for their new chat product -- https://central.zapier.com/. We think our UX is actually a lot simpler than there's is at the moment, since they're focusing on fine-grained control.
Also, the best way for them to do this would be pretty close to a ground-up rewrite -- both in terms of frontend/interface, but their model of integrations/connectors is not really compatible with allowing AI to take a bigger role in data transformations.
Yup, great point, & Zapier is working on very similar stuff! Our thinking is that incumbents have some disadvantages here (one example is that their data models for integrations all need to interrop with each other whereas we can delegate the data mapping to LLMs natively). Also, innovator's dilemma is real; we think we have a fighting chance at being a cleaner & faster product just by virtue of being very small and nimble and responsive to feedback.
