Last verified DocumentedBased on official sources; we have not tested this tool ourselves.

At a glance

Activepieces is an automation platform that combines chat, agents, flows, tables and app connectors ("pieces") in one workspace. It runs as a hosted cloud service or self-hosted, and teams use it to build automated workflows and AI agents connected to their business apps.

Best for

Not for
