Kakao
Application
Conversational AI mate ('Nana' for one-on-one chats, 'Kana' for groups) that remembers context, summarises conversations and sets reminders inside a messenger.
On-device AI agent inside KakaoTalk that reads conversation context to brief users on schedules mentioned in chats, surface recommendations, and find places on request.

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.

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.
Platform
