Overview

Nekton.ai takes tasks described step by step in plain English and, where the task can be automated, writes the automation code and runs it in the cloud. Workflows can mix manual and automated steps, collect input through forms, run on a schedule, and be shared by link so others can run them without signing up. It connects to other apps through their APIs and is powered by OpenAI.

Best for: Individuals and small teams automating small, specific cloud tasks described in plain English
Pricing: Free plan at $0/month for 300 flows, then Starter at $9/month for 1,000 flows and Pro at $18/month for 5,000 flows.
