About
Zapier Central AI Agent (now Zapier Agents) is a no-code platform for building intelligent AI teammates that can handle real business workflows autonomously. Powered by Zapier's massive ecosystem of 8,000+ app integrations, these agents can be equipped with company-specific knowledge — FAQs, documentation, internal data — and set to work across tools like Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, and thousands more. Agents are created with the help of Zapier Copilot, an AI-assisted builder that walks you through configuring behaviors, triggers, and integrations without writing a single line of code. Once deployed, agents can prep meeting dossiers, qualify and enrich leads, handle customer support interactions, generate reports, and much more — all while you focus on higher-priority work. Zapier Agents go beyond simple chatbots: they monitor live activity, take action in connected apps, browse the web, and adapt to complex multi-step tasks. A built-in Chrome extension makes them available inline in your browser. Whether you need to scale customer support, automate lead qualification, or offload repetitive research tasks, Zapier Agents provide a flexible, enterprise-ready solution trusted by over 3.4 million companies worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Zapier Agent?
A Zapier Agent is a custom AI teammate you configure to autonomously perform tasks across 8,000+ apps. You equip it with business knowledge and define what it should do — then it works on command or continuously in the background.
Do I need coding skills to build a Zapier Agent?
No. Zapier Agents are built using Zapier Copilot, a conversational AI assistant that guides you through setup without any code required.
How is Zapier Agents different from regular Zapier automations (Zaps)?

Zapier Agents can connect to over 8,000 apps, including Gmail, Slack, Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Notion, and thousands of other business tools.
