Activepieces

What it does

Activepieces is a workspace for building AI automations. Users describe a job in plain words and chat builds the flow or agent, or they assemble steps in a visual builder and add TypeScript where a step needs it. Flows, agents and tables share one workspace and can read and write the same data.

Teams use it for recurring work such as invoice intake, lead routing and support triage. Agents pick from connected apps and any MCP server, and sensitive steps can be gated for human approval. Projects, SSO, roles, audit logs and a bring-your-own secret manager provide governance, and the core is MIT-licensed open source.

It suits teams that want AI automation with access controls and the option to self-host with Docker or Kubernetes. Free includes 1,000 credits a month and Plus starts at $20 per month. AI steps use extra credits, and apps without a published piece connect through the HTTP piece or a webhook.

What it can do

• Build flows visually, with branching, retries, waitpoints, subflows, and human approvals
• Describe an outcome in chat and have flows or agents generated
• Run AI agents that pick their own connected tools and can gate sensitive steps for approval
• Store and query data in tables that flows and agents can read and write
• Expose workflows to Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients through an MCP server
• Self-host on Docker or Kubernetes, or use the managed cloud
