Zapier Agents automate steps across thousands of apps from Zapier's console. Zenning AI is an AI employee your team talks to in Slack and Teams — with search, meeting notes, and finished deliverables.
Zenning AI is an all-in-one AI platform with an AI employee that lives in Slack and Microsoft Teams. It connects to your business tools, searches across everything your team uses, takes notes in your meetings, and runs automations triggered by real-world events.
Zapier Agents are AI teammates you configure in Zapier's web app, doing work across Zapier's huge app library on triggers and schedules, metered per activity.
Zenning AI and Zapier Agents, side by side.
| Feature | Zenning AI | Zapier Agents |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Zenning AIYes: All-in-one AI platform: an AI employee in Slack and Teams, plus AI workspaces, enterprise search, a meeting note taker, and a no-code AI Employee builder. | Zapier AgentsPartly: AI agents layered on Zapier's automation platform, configured and monitored in Zapier's web app. |
| Where it lives | Zenning AIYes: Inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, where your team already works. | Zapier AgentsNo: Zapier's web console and a Chrome extension. Slack is a trigger/action, not a chat surface — you cannot mention an agent as a teammate, and there is no Teams presence. |
| Integrations | Zenning AIYes: Connects to your business tools through the App Directory with one-click OAuth and real read/write access. | Zapier AgentsYes: Zapier's app library is the largest anywhere (9,000+ claimed) — genuine breadth, though many connections are thinner than deep OAuth read/write. |
| Enterprise search | Zenning AIYes: Built in. Ask one question and get answers across every connected app and file. | Zapier AgentsNo: No unified search across your apps; knowledge is attached per-agent from selected files and sources. |
| AI Employee builder | Zenning AIYes: Build AI employees that trigger on external events — new leads, inbound email, schedules, webhooks — and run the work end to end. | Zapier AgentsYes: Agents genuinely trigger on app events and schedules. |
| Meeting note taker | Zenning AIYes: Built in. Joins your calls, captures notes and action items, and shares them with the team. | Zapier AgentsNo: No first-party meeting notetaker; Zapier itself recommends third-party tools. |
| Deliverables | Zenning AIYes: Reports, documents, and full web apps via the AI Site Builder. | Zapier AgentsPartly: Drafted emails, CRM updates, and summaries — no reports, dashboards, or web apps as finished artifacts. |
| Memory | Zenning AIYes: Persistent company memory shared across the whole workspace. | Zapier AgentsPartly: Per-agent knowledge sources; no accruing shared company memory. |
| Automation | Zenning AIYes: Both scheduled jobs and event-triggered workflows run automatically without manual prompting. | Zapier AgentsYes: Automation is the core competence, on triggers and schedules. |
| Team features | Zenning AIYes: One shared AI employee for the whole workspace with shared context, memory, and automations. | Zapier AgentsPartly: Agents shareable within an account, but not a shared teammate your team converses with. |
| Actions | Zenning AIYes: Takes real actions across connected tools, not just suggestions. | Zapier AgentsYes: Can run any Zapier action autonomously across the app library. |
| Security | Zenning AIYes: Enterprise-grade security with credentials stored server-side, never exposed to the model. | Zapier AgentsYes: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA. |
| Pricing & setup | Zenning AIYes: Free to start. Connect Slack and get going in minutes. | Zapier AgentsPartly: Free tier of 400 metered activities burns quickly — every trigger, tool step, and lookup counts — then paid plans metered per activity. |
Zapier Agents are impressive automation: pick triggers, grant tools, and steps run across an enormous app library. But there is no native Slack or Teams chat surface — Slack is just another trigger and action, and the agent lives in Zapier's console.
Zenning is conversational by design. Your team mentions it in Slack or Teams, hands over the task in plain language, asks follow-ups, and gets finished work back in the thread.
Zapier's 9,000+ apps are unmatched in breadth. Zenning connects fewer tools, deeper: managed OAuth with real read/write, live enterprise search across everything connected, and shared memory that accrues — so your AI employee understands the business, not just the trigger.
Zapier Agents output drafts and record updates, metered per activity — every trigger event, tool step, and lookup counts, which is how free tiers evaporate and bills surprise.
Zenning delivers finished artifacts — reports, dashboards, documents, even web apps — on simple pricing that is free to start and predictable as you grow.
