About Create a Zap by Zapier

Zapier Copilot is an AI-powered assistant embedded in the Zap editor that helps users create and edit automated workflows (Zaps). By describing the desired workflow in natural language, Copilot generates a basic outline of a trigger and one or more actions. It offers two modes: Auto-build, where it automatically configures as much of the Zap as possible without confirmation, and Ask as you build, where it suggests each step and waits for user approval. Users can also add, replace, or edit steps in existing Zaps, attach images or files, use voice dictation, and create checkpoints to revert to earlier versions. The feature is in open beta and available on Free, Professional, Team, and Enterprise plans.
