Zapier AI agents automate work across your favorite apps

The future of work isn’t just about AI—it’s about AI that can actually get things done. Imagine AI agents that work like true teammates: handling routine tasks, making smart decisions, and seamlessly connecting all your business tools.

But today’s AI assistants fall short of this vision. While they promise to manage your inbox, prepare for meetings, and help close deals, most require constant supervision, complex setup, and can’t work effectively across the apps where business actually happens.

Last year, we launched Zapier Central to bridge this gap by bringing AI and automation together. Since then, more than 50,000 teams have used AI with Zapier to do things like research prospects and brainstorm content ideas daily. Today, Zapier Central becomes Zapier Agents—AI teammates that work independently across your entire tech stack, connect with 7,000+ apps, and can be set up in minutes. 

Think of Agents as your new coworkers who just happen to be powered by AI. They can access your business data, work in all your favorite apps, and handle tasks whether you’re there or not. No coding required, just simple instructions.

Zapier Agents is now available in beta, and we can’t wait for you to meet your new teammates.

What is Zapier Agents?

AI agents are specialized AI programs designed to understand your needs and take action to help you achieve your goals. Think of them as digital assistants that can learn from you and work independently on specific tasks—like a research assistant who gathers information or a personal assistant who manages your schedule.

Zapier Agents takes this concept further by giving these AI teammates the power to actually work in your apps. Remember how exciting it was to get a new teammate who could take work off your plate? That’s what Zapier Agents brings to your team—but these teammates never sleep, don’t need vacation days, and can work across all your apps seamlessly.

Each AI agent acts as a true digital teammate who can:

• Chat with you naturally about what needs to be done

• Work with any of your 7,000+ connected apps

• Access your live business data to make smart decisions

• Handle tasks independently once you show them the ropes

• Follow you around the web to help wherever you’re working

What’s new?

We’ve reimagined how AI should work with you and your team. Here’s what’s new in Zapier Agents:

A more intuitive interface 

Gone are the days of programming complex automation. Working with Agents feels just like chatting with a colleague on Slack. Need something done? Just ask. Want to set up a regular task? Show your agent once, and it’ll handle it from there. With chat history and multiple conversation threads, you can manage different projects just like you would with your human teammates.

Expanded live data sources 

Your AI agents are only as smart as the information they can access, so we’ve made sure they can tap into all your essential business tools. Need to check something in HubSpot? Pull up a document from Notion? Reference data from your Airtable? Your agent has access to 12 key business tools, from work apps to documents to databases. It’s like giving your AI teammate a VIP pass to key company knowledge.

Bring agents with you across the web 

Ever wish you had an assistant who could follow you around the web, helping with whatever you’re working on? That’s exactly what the Zapier Agents Chrome extension does. Whether you’re researching prospects on LinkedIn, reading industry news, or managing your inbox, your agent is right there with you. It can analyze what you’re looking at, gather information, create content, and take action in your apps—all without breaking your flow.

How to get started with Agents

Agents are ready to help, easy to train, and eager to take work off your plate. Here’s how to build your dream team:

1. Chat with your AI agent: Jump right in and start delegating! Your agent is ready to help with everything from drafting emails to researching prospects. Just describe what you need in plain language, like you would with a colleague.

2. Set up automated behaviors: Take it to the next level by teaching your agent to work independently. Define triggers and rules for when it should step in—like automatically qualifying leads or preparing meeting briefs—and let it handle routine tasks in the background.

3. Connect your knowledge sources: Power up your agent’s capabilities by connecting your everyday work tools. Give it access to your CRM, knowledge base, or project management system so it can make smarter decisions using your live business data.

4. Install the Chrome extension: Bring your AI teammate wherever you work online. Whether you’re browsing LinkedIn or deep in your inbox, your agent is just a click away, ready to help analyze information and take action across your apps.
