✨ Story Time ✨
I love new tech, always keeping one tab open on HackerNews. I also have a soft spot for automation tools like Postman Flows and Zapier. The moat that products like Zapier seemingly have is the pain required to setup each integration with third parties. It's why they can charge what they do.
I don't like paying for things we don't have to, especially with predictions that AI will reduce development costs to zero. I had a thought, that if we take the things making AI more powerful by the day, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, we could effictively dry up these automation tool's moats as setting up an arbitrary amount of integrations becomes trivial.
This realization spawned a personal project. After using it for several tasks I realized it might be useful for others. So, I polished it up and made it available for free! It's heavily a work-in-progress, so come along for the ride!
Technical Details
Local Execution
Runs entirely on your machine. Import an MCP Server config and start building flows without any cloud dependencies.
Built with Tauri
Combines Rust's performance with React's flexibility, keeping the app lightweight without the overhead of Chromium or Node.js runtimes.
Cross-Platform
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Repeatable flows
Lock down your LLM's wisdom in tool choice and save your tokens for the next idea.
