About Activepieces

Activepieces is the open-source AI Agent ecosystem designed to propel businesses into the future of autonomous operations. It empowers teams, from non-technical users to seasoned developers, to build smart, collaborative AI agents that automate complex, repetitive workflows across their entire tech stack. The core value proposition is profound simplicity paired with enterprise-grade power: you can create sophisticated, multi-step automations and intelligent agentic systems without writing a single line of code. In just four steps, users can connect to over 620 tools—including Gmail, CRMs like Salesforce and Zoho, databases, Slack, and more—to construct agents that think, act, and work together as a team. Imagine one agent qualifying leads from a form, another enriching that data, and a third sending personalized onboarding sequences—all running autonomously. Beyond individual agents, Activepieces provides a full ecosystem with Tables for centralized data storage, Todos for essential human-in-the-loop approvals, and groundbreaking Model Context Protocols (MCPs) that turn LLMs like Claude and Cursor into capable agents using your tools. Built for scale and trust, it offers both a managed cloud service and the flexibility of self-hosting, making it the definitive platform for companies aiming to move faster, eliminate errors, and build scalable AI-powered systems that grow with their ambitions.

Features of Activepieces

No-Code AI Agent Builder

The intuitive visual builder allows anyone to create sophisticated AI agents through a simple click-and-configure interface. You can define triggers, chain AI-powered actions, set conditions, and create loops without any programming knowledge. This democratizes automation, enabling marketing, sales, and ops teams to build solutions tailored to their specific processes, dramatically accelerating development time and fostering innovation from anywhere in the organization.

Open-Source & Self-Hostable Core

Activepieces is built on a fully open-source foundation, providing unparalleled transparency, security, and customization. Organizations can self-host the entire platform on their own infrastructure using Docker, ensuring full data sovereignty and compliance with strict security policies. This enterprise-ready approach allows for deep customization, whitelabeling, and integration into private networks, making it suitable for startups and Fortune 50 companies alike.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration

This innovative feature supercharges external large language models like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf by turning them into actionable AI agents. Activepieces manages the connection, allowing these LLMs to securely utilize its library of over 620 tools as their "hands and feet." This means your AI assistant can now not just suggest an action but execute it—like creating a support ticket, sending an email, or updating a CRM—directly from your chat interface.

Collaborative Agent Ecosystem with Tables & Todos

Activepieces moves beyond single automations to a collaborative ecosystem. AI Agents can work in teams, passing data and tasks between them. Tables act as a smart, connected central database (like Google Sheets for your automations), while Todos seamlessly integrate human oversight. Agents can pause workflows to request approvals, ask for clarification, or escalate issues, ensuring humans remain perfectly in the loop for critical decision-making.

Use Cases of Activepieces

Automated Customer Support & Ticket Triage

Transform your support workflow by deploying AI agents that automatically categorize incoming support emails or form submissions, prioritize them based on urgency and content, and route them to the correct team or individual. Agents can also provide instant, AI-generated responses to common queries and create tickets in systems like Zendesk, ensuring no customer request falls through the cracks and drastically reducing first-response times.

Intelligent Sales Pipeline Automation

Supercharge your sales team with agents that automate lead nurturing. When a new lead arrives from a website form or LinkedIn, an agent can enrich their profile with data from public sources, score the lead, add them to your CRM (like Salesforce or HubSpot), and trigger a personalized email sequence. Another agent can monitor engagement and notify sales reps for timely follow-up, ensuring maximum conversion efficiency.

Streamlined Internal Operations & Onboarding

Automate repetitive internal tasks to boost operational efficiency. Create agents that handle new employee onboarding by provisioning accounts across various SaaS tools (Slack, Google Workspace, project management software), scheduling introductory meetings, and assigning training materials. Similarly, automate expense report collection, approval workflows via Todos, and reconciliation, freeing HR and finance teams for strategic work.

Dynamic Content Aggregation & Social Media Management

Build agents that act as your content and social media engine. They can automatically scour RSS feeds, news sites, or specific databases for relevant industry content, format it using AI, and post it to your blog or social media channels like Twitter and LinkedIn. Another agent can monitor brand mentions, aggregate them into a Table, and alert your team, enabling proactive community management and content strategy execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is coding knowledge required to use Activepieces?

No, absolutely not. Activepieces is designed as a true no-code platform. Its core builder uses a visual, drag-and-drop interface where you create automations and AI agents by connecting pre-built "Pieces" (integrations). You configure actions through forms and menus. For advanced users, a "Code" piece is available, but the vast majority of powerful automations require zero programming skills.

How does the open-source model benefit my company?

The open-source model offers several key benefits: complete transparency into the code for security auditing, the freedom to self-host and keep all data within your own infrastructure, and the ability to customize the platform to fit exact business needs. You can modify the core, build custom integrations ("Pieces"), and even remove branding. It future-proofs your investment and avoids vendor lock-in.

What are MCPs and how do they work with LLMs like Claude?

MCPs (Model Context Protocols) are a standard that allows Large Language Models to use external tools. Activepieces implements MCP servers for its 620+ integrations. This means you can connect an LLM like Claude Desktop or Cursor Editor to Activepieces, and the LLM can then use those tools directly. For example, you could ask Claude to "add this email to my CRM," and Claude, via Activepieces, would execute that action seamlessly.

Can Activepieces handle complex, multi-step workflows with conditions?

Yes, the platform is built for complexity. The visual builder includes robust logic components like branches (if/else conditions), loops to iterate over data, and the ability to trigger entire sub-flows. You can build intricate decision trees where an AI agent analyzes data, takes different paths based on the results, interacts with multiple apps, and involves humans for approvals at specific junctures, all within a single, manageable workflow.
