Zapier MCP is now connected to Claude.
That means you can plug Claude into 8,000+ apps and 30,000+ actions using Zapier.
Here are a few things you can now ask Claude to do:
* Pull CRM data before a sales call
* Assign tasks in Asana or Jira
* Update spreadsheets across tools
* Draft and send emails (in your voice, without leaving Claude!)
All from within the Claude chat (tab switching, no custom integrations, no dev work).
If you’ve been waiting for AI that takes action, not just notes, this is it.
Curious how it could help you and your org? Learn more about Claude + Zapier MCP here: zapier.com/blog/zapier-mcp-c…

Zapier might be the world's largest no-code AI automation platform. AI task growth has been steady since early 2023, and after bundling our native AI step into our plans in late 2024, it's only accelerated (steeply!). Still plenty to do to make it even easier...

What? ZAPIER AGENTS is evolving! 💪
Agents now work in the background to handle tasks continuously, across your entire business.
We've reimagined the automation experience from the ground up:
⚡ One agent, one job. Each agent has one role, simplifying setup and management
⚡ Group related agents in "Agent Pods" to organize similar tasks
⚡ Real-time activity dashboard for total visibility
⚡ Faster build experience w/ new prompt assistant (and 20+ templates to get you started)
We've evolved AI chat into autonomous action at enterprise scale. Can't wait to see how you use it!
Btw - already using Zapier? You're already upgraded. Just log in and go.

New launch today:
Zapier's AI orchestration platform for enterprises!
Over 200 million AI tasks automated, and we’re just getting started. We’re doubling down on our mission to make AI orchestration simple, scalable, and accessible for every team.
Why? Because when you remove the technical barriers, AI can drive real outcomes:
- Revenue recovered.
- Hours saved.
- Teams empowered.
This is what’s possible when you put connected AI agents to work, exactly where your team needs them.

Some exciting news today -- we’re diving headfirst into AI agents with Zapier Agents, taking what 50,000+ teams already built on Zapier Central and leveling it up.
Folks are turning LinkedIn browsing into automated outreach, letting AI handle support emails with their knowledge base, and qualifying leads around the clock (even while you sleep! 😴⚡️).
It’s not just chat – it’s about getting real work done.

The AI will not stop.
It will write the docs.
It will answer the questions before they're asked.
It will schedule the meetings, cancel them, and summarize what didn't happen.
You can close the laptop. It will keep going.
You can beg for context. It already gave it three versions ago.
You can scream into Slack. It will summarize that too.
The AI will continue until productivity improves.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants talk to external tools.
Zapier MCP makes it easy: one URL with your embedded API key (we'll support OAuth 2.1 once it's official in the draft spec), configure your actions, and you're live - no glue code needed!

Pumped to see @mikeknoop and @fchollet teaming up to build something new and exciting!
AGI is the most important technology in the history of the world. That's why I'm going all in on a new adventure with @fchollet. We’re creating a new intelligence science lab -- Ndea.
@ndeainc's ultimate goal is to compress science timelines. First by understanding intelligence, then measuring it, building it, and finally deploying it for scientific advancement.
Our first focus is on deep learning-guided program synthesis to create AGI that can invent, adapt, and innovate.
My view is that in 5-10 years we’ll regard deep learning and program synthesis as equally important to scaling up efficient, bottleneck-free AGI.
The “transformer” for program synthesis has not been created. The "Keras" for program synthesis does not exist.
If this is correct, 2025 looks like 2013. The world just got its first taste of program synthesis when o3 beat ARC-AGI-1, similar to deep learning's moment when AlexNet beat ImageNet.
I mean it when I say “adventure”. Humanity will use AGI to solve incredibly important problems.
But even more exciting is the chance to metaphorically time-travel into the future: learn, invent, and discover things that would not organically happen for decades or even centuries.
Ndea is my focus. So it's time for me to step away from day-to-day at Zapier. I remain a board member, evangelist, and most importantly great friends with @bryanhelmig and @wadefoster.
Zapier’s success is why I can make this bet. I’m extremely grateful to all our customers, employees, and supporters. Zapier has a big mission ahead — bringing AI automation to everyone.
I believe that anyone with new ideas and ability to accelerate AGI should be working on it. The world deserves it.
Chollet and I have tried to support this goal indirectly. We’ve both invested in AGI startups, created @arcprize, written papers, and given talks to inspire open progress. We’ll continue to do all these things.
Now, we're going to work on it directly.
We’re assembling the world’s top program synthesis team. @ndeainc is a globally remote company. Consider joining us!

Something very cool about our implementation: you control exactly what's allowed - down to the app, action, or even specific fields.

Been using this a bunch in Zapier and it's been a very pleasant upgrade. Production AI workloads are very heavy and complex on the data side.
Braintrust is now 80x faster than any other LLM observability platform on the market.
To achieve this benchmark, we built Brainstore, the first database designed to handle the high scale and complexity of AI data.

Quick history: we originally built this stack for OpenAI Plugins (which was based on OpenAPI). That didn't quite catch on, so we repurposed it for AI Actions with an AI/API-first approach. That worked but was fragile due to earlier, weaker models being unable to nail tool use.

you really have to hold sonnet 3.7 back from "helpfully" fixing everything in your codebase. it's kind of like skynet with the sign flipped (as long as your app isn’t promoting shrimp torture or something).

The more I build products with LLMs, the more I value scoring in evaluations. A great scorer is actionable and precise. I'd take a dozen hyper-specific scorers over a few crude JSON diff or LLM-as-a-judge scorers any day.

one behavior i've noticed after two weeks with sonnet 3.7 is that it spends a LOT more time reading and exploring the codebase before it starts making changes. prior versions of sonnet didn't have that behavior, they'd just dive right on in and make (wrong) changes.

Huge agreement. Environment engineering feels next.
As models get more powerful, i find myself focusing more effort on context engineering, which is the task of bringing the right information (in the right format) to the LLM.
Context engineering is hard because it is pervasive. You need to engineer every layer of the stack to capture and make context available.
Send too little context, and the LLM won’t know what to do. Too much, and you’re out of tokens or the LLM gets lost.
Good context engineering caches well. Bad context engineering is both slow and expensive.

Fantastic video! Really excited to see ARC-AGI-2!
ARC-AGI-1 (2019) pinpointed the moment AI moved beyond pure memorization in late 2024 demonstrated by OpenAI's o3 system.
Now, ARC-AGI-2 raises the bar significantly, challenging known test-time adaptation methods.
@MLStreetTalk is helping us launch ARC-AGI-2 with an interview of @mikeknoop & @fchollet.
