Sidekick
Build Zapier-style automations using only a chat interface
Visit website →About
Sidekick builds Zapier-style automations through a chat interface. A user describes the workflow they want, and Sidekick's AI adds the connectors, configures the logic, and handles error cases. The automation can then run on demand or on a schedule.
It connects to common tools such as Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Notion, and Slack, and is priced per run rather than per action, which changes the cost model for multi-step workflows.
It is aimed at operators and small teams who want the power of a workflow automation tool without building flows node by node, and prefer to describe what should happen and adjust it in conversation.

Why we picked it
Sidekick made the list for handling error cases automatically as part of the chat-built automation — most "describe it and we'll build it" tools skip that part and leave you debugging a broken step later. Priced per run, which matters if usage is unpredictable.
