Fair-code workflow automation and AI agent builder, cloud or self-hosted.
Make
AI Automation & AgentsMake is a cloud automation platform where users build scenarios on a visual canvas, connecting modules with routers, filters and iterators. Billing is per credit, with each module action generally counting as one credit and AI or code steps costing more. It is used by operations teams, agencies and small businesses that outgrow simple linear automations.
