Before November 2022 ...

IT teams were handling all the tech creation. They were the ones building new systems and tools, and it was overwhelming. They had more tasks than they could ever complete. Companies tried to help by bringing in "citizen developers"—basically, less technical people to pitch in. But that approach wasn’t cutting it.

Then ChatGPT dropped ...

and everything started to shift. Suddenly, people in all kinds of roles started using AI to write, plan, solve problems, and analyze data. The tools were no longer just in the hands of IT; everyone was starting to build and innovate. It was like a whole new world opened up.

We saw this change happening and launched Activepieces in early 2023. Our mission was simple: create an open-source, no-code automation tool that anyone could use, regardless of their tech skills. We wanted to empower every team to automate tasks and get creative without needing to be developers.

And guess what? It’s working. We’ve grown to thousands of stars on GitHub and around 50,000 users. Technical teams love us because our platform is super extensible and secure, with plenty of tools to manage their automation projects. But the best part? Even non-tech teams are jumping in, thanks to our easy-to-use interface.

Now, the role of IT is changing. Instead of doing everything themselves, they’re setting up AI automation infrastructure that everyone can use. It’s a huge shift, and we’re here to make it as smooth as possible. Activepieces is designed for this new era, where innovation is a team effort.

As we grow, we’re seeing this vision come to life. According to a recent survey, over 70% of companies are already using or planning to use AI tools across multiple departments. The future is here, and it’s collaborative.

We’re thrilled to be part of this journey with you. The landscape is changing fast, and we’re excited about what we can build together.

Happy automating!
