Show HN: An open source Zapier, automations made simple
github.com
Over the last few years, I have witnessed how complicated, convoluted, and costly automation solutions have become. Around 90% of users on Zapier have some form of developer experience, making it very developer oriented. It can often take days and a lot of trial and error just trying to get any automations up and running.
SVVARM hopes to alleviate some of the main problems that are core to those looking to automate:
- Generating automations with natural language prompting
- Exposing these automations with simple to set up triggers (email, message, slack, or API calls)
- Connecting to all your apps with a click of a button or a paste of an API key
- Enabling your automations with tabular data from spreadsheets or databases
- Allowing for customizable nodes that can be written in Python (or using code generated by AI)
Right now, SVVARM is only available via our online offering (waitlisted, but free). We hope to bring the engine to open source as soon as possible. Check out the video of our HackerNews Report demo on our Github! Or try sending your resume to svvarmbot@gmail.com with the subject 'Resume' to see one of our automations in action!
