Zapier
DevTools
Free beta SDK opens 9,000+ apps and 30,000 actions to AI agent builders.
This shifts Zapier from an automation tool for non-technical users into foundational infrastructure for anyone building or deploying AI agents — a fundamentally different and larger category. Buyers evaluating point-solution AI agents will now ask whether those agents connect to Zapier's network, raising the switching cost bar for competitors. For bootstrapped SaaS companies, this is a distribution threat: Zapier's breadth makes it easier for rivals to plug in and reach the same buyers, but also makes Zapier itself a formidable aggregator of agent-driven workflows.
When a platform commoditizes integration, the new moat shifts to orchestration logic and the quality of pre-built actions, not breadth.
What does your platform offer agent builders that 30,000 pre-built actions cannot?
