HIPAA-eligible service that transcribes patient-clinician conversations and generates preliminary clinical documentation with evidence mapping back to the transcript.

Natural-language-processing service that extracts key phrases, sentiment, entities, document classification and PII redaction from text.

A managed AWS service for building voice and text conversational bots, built on the same technology as Alexa.

Recommendation engine trained on user-interaction data to deliver real-time personalized recommendations across web, app and marketing channels.

A managed AWS API that converts text into synthesized speech across more than 40 languages and voice styles.

A managed AWS API for image and video analysis, including object and face detection, text extraction from images and content moderation.

A managed AWS API that converts speech to text using an automatic speech recognition model.

Neural machine translation service for batch and real-time cross-lingual text translation with brand-terminology customization.

Agentic AI for healthcare providers and health-tech developers: patient verification, appointment management, ambient clinical documentation, patient insights and medical coding, delivered inside Amazon Connect Customer for patient engagement and via an SDK at the point of care.

An AWS platform for building and running AI agents that automate browser-based UI workflows, billed per agent-hour of active work.

AWS's subscription AI work assistant combining chat-based research, business-intelligence dashboards and workflow automation, positioned as the successor to Amazon Q Business.

An AWS coding assistant that generates, reviews, tests and autonomously modifies code inside IDEs and the CLI.

Agentic AI development platform (IDE, CLI, web, mobile) that turns prompts into executable specs, validates code with property-based testing and runs parallel agents across large codebases.

Agentic-AI enterprise IT transformation workbench that accelerates cloud migration, application modernization (mainframe, Windows, custom code) and continuous tech-debt reduction.

Production AI-agent operational platform (framework- and model-agnostic) providing security controls, tool integration, debugging and evaluation for deployed agents.

Cloud contact-centre service, formerly simply 'Amazon Connect', now positioned as an agentic-AI customer-experience solution: AI agents and intelligent routing across voice, chat, email, SMS, web and WhatsApp, designed on a no-code canvas, with real-time performance tracking for agents and supervisors.

AWS's unified platform for building, training and deploying machine learning and generative AI models.

Zapier Canvas is an AI-powered diagramming tool for mapping business processes and turning the diagram into working automation. Zapier says it uses AI to generate workflows, suggest next steps, and surface insights that help optimise automations and prevent breakages.

Zapier Chatbots is a no-code builder for custom-branded AI chatbots that can be embedded in a website to handle customer interactions. Zapier positions it as a way to scale support and generate leads, with the chatbot able to trigger Zapier workflows off the conversation.

An assistant that works across every Zapier product: asked in plain language to add a field to a table or a step to a Zap, it walks the user through the change or makes it for them.

Zapier MCP is Zapier's implementation of the Model Context Protocol, giving AI clients such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor the ability to take real actions in the user's connected apps. Zapier states it exposes 9,000+ apps and 40,000+ actions while handling app connections, credentials and rate limits on the caller's behalf.

AI agents that act across the applications Zapier already connects, built and debugged from a prompt with Zapier Copilot.

AI Guardrails by Zapier adds inline AI safety and compliance checks to Zapier workflows. Added as a step to any Zap, Agent or Zapier MCP workflow, it scans content for personally identifiable information, toxic language, prompt injection attempts and negative sentiment, then routes, blocks or escalates based on what it finds.

AI by Zapier is Zapier's built-in tool for adding AI steps to a workflow, powered by the user's choice of model from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. Users write text prompts to perform tasks such as extracting lead data from unstructured text or answering routing questions inside a Zap.

Zapier SDK gives coding agents and developers authenticated, governed programmatic access to Zapier's app catalogue from code, on behalf of their users. Zapier handles OAuth flows, token management and retries; the SDK ships with a CLI for exploring apps and running actions from the terminal.

The workflow layer Zapier's AI products run on: multi-step Zaps that connect over 9,000 apps and can call AI steps, agents and MCP tools inside a run, built without a developer.
