n8n
n8n is a workflow automation platform that combines a visual node editor with JavaScript and Python code steps. You can run it on n8n's cloud or self-host it, and its fair-code license lets most teams self-host the Community Edition at no license cost. It includes AI agent nodes and MCP support for building agent workflows that call tools and other apps.
Glean
Glean is an enterprise work AI platform that connects to a company's apps and data so employees can search, ask questions, and build agents over internal knowledge. It indexes tools like Slack, Google Drive, Confluence, Jira, SharePoint, and Salesforce, and shows each user only the content they already have permission to see. Pricing is not public and is sold through sales.
Notion AI
Notion AI is the AI layer built into the Notion workspace for writing, summarizing, and answering questions from your own pages and databases. It includes Notion Agent for multi-step work inside the workspace, AI Meeting Notes, and enterprise search across connected apps like Slack and Google Drive. The full feature set comes with the Business and Enterprise plans, while Free and Plus get a limited trial.
Replit
Replit is a browser-based development platform whose Replit Agent builds apps and websites from plain-English descriptions. It handles hosting, a built-in database, authentication, and monitoring in the same place, so projects can go from prompt to published app without separate infrastructure. Agent usage is billed on effort, so complex requests cost more than simple ones.
Zapier
Zapier is a no-code automation platform that connects thousands of apps so a trigger in one app runs actions in others. Beyond its Zaps, it includes Tables for storing data, Forms, AI Agents that work across connected apps, and an MCP server that lets AI assistants use Zapier actions. Usage is counted in tasks, with each successful action step using at least one task.
Clay
Clay is a go-to-market data platform that works like a spreadsheet for building and enriching prospect lists. It pulls contact and company data from 150+ providers, chaining them in waterfalls so a later source is tried only when an earlier one finds nothing. Its AI research agent, Claygent, can browse the web to fill in custom fields, and higher plans sync results to a CRM.
Grammarly
Grammarly is a writing assistant that checks grammar, spelling, clarity, and tone as you type in browsers, desktop apps, Microsoft Office, and Google Docs. It also includes generative AI prompts for drafting and rewriting, plus AI agents for tasks like finding citations and predicting reader reactions. Grammarly is now part of Superhuman, which also owns Coda and the Superhuman email app.
Claude
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant for writing, analysis, research, and coding, available on web, desktop, and mobile. It can read long documents and files, search the web, run code to create files, and connect to work apps through connectors. Paid plans add Claude Code for software work, deeper research, and Claude in Chrome and Microsoft 365.
ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is an AI audio platform for text to speech, voice cloning, dubbing, speech to text, sound effects, and music. It also offers an agents platform for building voice assistants and an API for developers. All products draw from one shared monthly credit pool, and a commercial license starts on the first paid plan.
Julius AI
Julius AI is a data analysis assistant that lets you upload spreadsheets or connect data sources and ask questions in plain English. It writes and runs Python or R code behind the scenes, then returns charts, tables, and written explanations. You can inspect the generated code, and higher plans add live database connectors and team workspaces.
OpenArt
OpenArt is an all-in-one AI creator studio for images, video, characters, and audio. It aggregates over 100 models, including Veo, Kling, Seedance, Nano Banana, and GPT Image, inside a single web interface with built-in editing, character consistency, and story tools rather than a Discord-only workflow.
Base44
Base44 is a no-code AI platform that generates full-stack apps, websites, and AI agents from natural language prompts. It builds the frontend, backend, database, and authentication together, then deploys with built-in hosting. The platform was acquired by Wix and connects to services like Stripe, Google Workspace, Slack, and Salesforce.
