Automate Tasks with Zapier AI

Definition

Zapier connects the tools you already use — like Google Drive, Gmail, Notion, Slack — and adds automation powered by AI. While content tools help you create, Zapier helps you take action on that content automatically.

Zapier works by creating Zaps. This is no-code workflows where something triggers a process, AI handles part of the thinking, and an action completes the task.

You're working on a team where shared files are constantly updated. One day, a teammate adds a new Google Doc to the shared folder. Instead of manually reviewing it, Zapier can jump in automatically:

Creating a Zap

Detects new files in Google Drive;
Uses AI by Zapier to summarize the doc;
Sends the summary to your team on Slack.

The whole process runs in the background. No manual steps needed.

Everything was clear?
