About

I'm currently the founder/CEO of Relay.app (think a better, more modern Zapier that makes it easy to add AI and human-in-the-loop steps). Prior to Relay.app, I spent 6 years at Google as the product lead for Gmail, Google Calendar, and several other products. I joined Google in 2015 when my previous startup (Timeful, a smart digital calendar) was acquired.

Which no-code automation tool do you recommend in 2025? 🙈

@Zapier, @Make, @Relay.app , @n8n , @Activepieces, @Pabbly
So many automation tools in 2025!

I cannot decide what to choose for beginners but with a wish to become a pro user
From my recent research, quick insights

  • @Zapier still wins for ease-of-use and integrations, but might be expensive and has low free limitations

  • @Relay.app is amazing for beginners due to built-in AI workflows

  • @Make remains top for complex automation

My takeaways for new users from my one day research
