How AI automation works
Traditional automation follows rigid rules: "When X happens, do Y." AI automation is different — it understands context, intent, and natural language. Instead of building complex workflows with triggers and conditions, you simply describe what you want in plain English.
For example, instead of setting up a 10-step Zapier workflow to send follow-up emails, you tell an AI assistant: "Send a follow-up to everyone who attended yesterday's meeting." The AI understands who attended, drafts appropriate emails, and sends them — all from a single instruction.
Types of AI automation
Conversational AI
AI assistants that understand natural language and execute tasks based on what you say or type.
Workflow automation
AI-powered workflows that trigger actions based on events, schedules, or conditions — without manual setup.
Browser automation
AI agents that browse websites, fill forms, scrape data, and complete tasks on the web.
Intelligent routing
AI that picks the best tool, API, or approach for each task — adapting in real time.
