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.
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.

Fin sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Zapier yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
AI agent
Customer-facing AI support agent that resolves questions from a company's knowledge sources, takes actions in connected systems via multi-step Procedures, and hands off to a human when it cannot resolve the request; answers are generated by Intercom's in-house Fin CX model suite, led by Fin Apex 1.0.
Autonomous operations agent that tunes the Fin agent's configuration, keeps its knowledge sources current, detects incidents and surfaces prioritised improvements from conversation data, with changes gated behind human approval.
Voice AI agent that handles inbound and outbound phone calls using the same knowledge sources, actions and procedures as the Fin text agent, over a phone number provisioned in Intercom or over a customer's own PSTN/SIP telephony.
Infrastructure service
Patented seven-phase retrieval/response architecture (query refinement, content retrieval, reranking, generation, accuracy validation, engine optimization, security) powering Fin's customer-service products, including the Fin Apex 1.0 generative model.

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