Open-source automation platform with a clean editor and AI pieces
Activepieces is an open-source automation tool built around a straightforward visual editor and a piece-based integration model. Pieces are published as npm packages, so anyone can write and share a connector, which keeps the library growing without a gatekeeper. It self-hosts easily, offers a managed cloud, and includes AI steps and agent-like flows alongside ordinary triggers and actions. Teams usually choose it over larger platforms for the licensing, the self-hosting story and an interface that non-technical staff can follow without training.
