CodeWords is a chat-native workflow automation platform. It's the quickest way to turn your ideas into automations, simply by chatting with our AI automation assistant, Cody. Feature highlights: One-prompt building: you're always only a single prompt away from building automations that save you hours per week. 2,700+ integrations: connect to all the tools in your stack in just a couple of clicks. Automatically test, debug, and deploy workflow automations — CodeWords handles this for you. If you can think it, you can build it. Under the hood, CodeWords uses code to create your automations so you're not confined to rigid drag-and-drop nodes.

What makes CodeWords different from other automation tools like n8n, Zapier, or Make?

CodeWords is a chat-based workflow automation tool, built for everyone, regardless of technical ability. Unlike Zapier, Make, or n8n, CodeWords is based on code. This means you can be more expressive and creative with what you build, without being confined to the limits of traditional drag-and-drop tools. With automatic testing, debugging, and deploying, you're always one prompt away from automating your workflows.

How much time will I save using CodeWords?

Most automation tools require you to have deep technical knowledge to be successful. On average, the most popular automation tools take 1-3 months to learn, with continuous learning needed after that. CodeWords requires zero technical knowledge. Our non-technical users get started in 2 minutes, and build their first automation in under 10 minutes. On average, our community save 5-10 hours a week once they've finished building their workflows.

Founders, Operators, Growth engineers, Marketers, Vibe coders — CodeWords is for anyone who wants to drive business transformation, scale fast, or who enjoys beautiful and productive systems. You'll be able to fit CodeWords into your workflow, regardless of your job role or technical ability.
