What Make does
Make is a no-code automation platform. You connect apps on a visual canvas and build "scenarios" that move and transform data between them, for example adding a Google Sheets row whenever a form is submitted. It connects to more than 3,500 apps, supports routers, filters and custom code, and now includes AI agents, an AI assistant called Maia that builds automations from a chat, and an MCP server so AI tools can trigger your workflows. Usage is billed in credits.
