Zapier vs AI agents: when rules are not enough
Compare rules-based workflow automation with AI agents that can reason over context, classify requests, and prepare actions.
- Use rules when triggers and actions are predictable
- Use agents when inputs are messy, conversational, or require classification
- Combine both when deterministic actions need AI-powered intake or routing
- Keep approvals around high-risk actions regardless of platform
