AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItSolve My Problem

Zapier alternative with AI generation, but Zapier (with AI) and Make already own this space.

Strengths
  • •Human-in-the-loop approval for payments/emails eliminates automation disasters—genuine safety layer.
  • •MCP-based tool discovery (212 tools auto-discovered) is clever architecture that beats manual integration lists.
  • •Drag-and-drop editor + natural language means non-technical users can build and tweak workflows.
Weaknesses
  • •Zapier now has AI workflow generation; Make Studio competes directly with lower friction and bigger integrations.
  • •No pricing, no cloud offering, no clear deployment story—hobby project energy compared to productized alternatives.
Target Audience

Small businesses and freelancers replacing Zapier; teams needing affordable workflow automation with approval gates.

Post Description

Hey HN, I built Aivaro because my brother was spending $30+ per month on Zapier for workflows I could describe in one sentence.

The idea: describe what you want in plain English, AI builds the workflow, you approve sensitive steps (emails, payments), then it runs automatically.

- 20+ integrations (Google, Stripe, Slack, Shopify, etc.), 212 tools - Visual drag-and-drop editor for manual tweaking - Human-in-the-loop: nothing fires without your approval

I'd love feedback on the product and how I could strengthen the product to be used by a broader audience. Happy to answer questions about the architecture.
