Zapier AI
Zapier AI is Zapier’s way of connecting your AI tools to the apps a business runs on, then turning what works into workflows that keep running without you. A Zap is an automated workflow that completes work across your apps without someone prompting it each time.
What Zapier AI does
- Connects AI tools to your business apps: Zapier says it works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and many other AI tools.
- Offers Zapier MCP, so you can start a workflow in your AI tool, connect it to your apps and test it without leaving the conversation.
- Lets you save something you solved with AI as a Skill to reuse on demand, or deploy it as a Zap that runs on its own.
- Handles authentication, retries and rate limits for the apps it connects.
- Includes governance for AI: you can define which model providers your team uses and run checks for personal data, prompt injection and toxicity on AI steps.
What people use it for
