What is Activepieces?
Activepieces pitches itself as one workspace where a whole team works with AI: chat, agents, flows, tables and 770+ apps. You describe a job in plain words and an agent takes it end to end across your tools, with approval gates on steps that touch money, customers or production. Every plan, including the free tier, can be hosted on Activepieces Cloud or on-prem, and the company says its pieces are MIT-licensed open source. Pricing is flat per month with included credits, then pay-as-you-go overage on Plus and Team.
