Elastic
Application
An AI security-operations layer that correlates alerts from a customer's existing security tools, prioritizes threats and guides response workflows without replacing their SIEM.
GenAI- and ML-driven capability inside Elastic Observability that automatically detects, diagnoses and helps resolve operational issues, providing recommended actions for SREs.
Monitoring capability inside Elastic Observability for generative-AI and agentic applications: performance, cost control, guardrail tracking and reliability for GenAI workloads.
Agentic security-operations platform unifying SIEM, XDR and native automation, with autonomous agents handling detection-to-response workflows and purpose-built AI skills for threat hunting, alert analysis and detection engineering; supports multiple LLMs including on-premises models.
Agent platform
A builder for custom AI agents that answer questions and take actions over data indexed in Elasticsearch, using configurable tools, skills and prompts.
An automation engine that runs both scripted steps and AI agents which reason through investigations and execute response actions against data in Elasticsearch.
Platform
A conversational assistant embedded in Kibana that answers natural-language questions against a customer's own indexed data across Elastic's Observability, Security and Search solutions.
Zapier
Application
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.
Agent platform
AI agents that act across the applications Zapier already connects, built and debugged from a prompt with Zapier Copilot.
Platform
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.
No counterpart
Elastic sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Zapier yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Model API
Hosted inference endpoint that runs Elastic-managed LLMs, the ELSER sparse-embedding model and third-party embedding models for ingest, search and chat without provisioning ML nodes in a customer's own Elasticsearch deployment.

API service
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.
Developer tool
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.
