DryMerge - AI agents that work for you 24/7

by

DryMerge’s AI agents connect to your apps and automate tasks. Describe your task in chat - e.g. “When I get an email invoice, add it to a sheet & send me a weekly summary of new expenses” and DryMerge builds a custom agent to automate it in the background.

Hi Product Hunters! I’m Edward, CEO at DryMerge. We’re building a platform that lets anyone create powerful AI agents that connect to your apps and do work for you, even while you’re AFK. Thousands of people, from AI tinkerers to large companies, have used us to do things like… 1. Automatically update their CRMs. 2. Automate marketing and customer support emails. 3. Create discord and twitter bots that post hundreds of times a day. 4. Receive daily news digests and meeting summaries. 5. And so much more We’ve taken a different approach than most no-code platforms. Instead of a drag and drop workflow builder, you can build agents on DryMerge in chat with natural language instructions. Our users have told us that it’s by far the lowest learning curve of any tool on the market. We truly want to make it 10x easier for non-technical people (and even you coders out there) to build agents. We’re also focused on expanding what agents are capable of. DryMerge agents don’t just summarize text and make poems — they actually do your work by connecting to 50+ apps and using tools like sending emails, updating excel spreadsheets, making phone calls, and creating contacts in CRMs. I’m incredibly excited to launch this version of the platform, and I can’t wait to see what agents you all build! Some power users have teams of 10+ agents working for them full-time, let’s see how many you can think of :)

@edward_frazer Hi, Edward. Your product looks fascinating and reminds me of a specialized version of ChatGPT as an agent-focused platform. While OpenAI seems to be moving towards integrating multiple models into a single app (essentially also an agent concept), DryMerge appears to focus more on seamless collaboration between models and diverse applications, which is intriguing. I have a few questions: Are you concerned about OpenAI potentially entering this space directly, especially since they’ve reportedly acquired companies specializing in application collaboration? Your product seems comparable to no-code automation tools like Zapier or Make. What would you say are the core differentiators that set DryMerge apart? As someone considering automation tools like Zapier, I see the appeal in how your platform appears to streamline workflows and make managing tools more intuitive. Do you provide a clear list of use cases? While the examples in your video are interesting, they don’t align with my personal needs. A concise list of scenarios would be incredibly helpful for users like me who want to jump into a relevant use case right away without spending too much time exploring. Looking forward to your thoughts!

OpenAI just launched Tasks. How do you differentiate from that ? They already have a lot of integrations as well.

@der_shukla OpenAI tasks doesn't have integrations at the moment, so there is that

Thanks for asking! OpenAI Tasks currently focuses on scheduled notifications via email, and doesn't yet access data in your apps. DryMerge offers more comprehensive business automation: 1. App actions: Rather than just notifications, our agents can actually update data and take actions within your apps. 2. Real-time triggers: Our agents respond to hundreds of different events across your connected apps, not just schedules. 3. Agentic decision-making: Our agents can search through your data and make contextual decisions based on your instructions. 4. Customization: We've built our interface specifically to make it easy to create, test, and tweak agents for your exact needs.

@samuel_brashears yeah that's the first difference that I saw but didn't they allow a lot of big companies to come and integrate as well ?like skyscanner, weather.com, flight booking companies, hotel booking companies etc ? I mean it's a matter of time till a lot of companies integrate directly with them. What do you think of doing then ? Anything if you have thought about already.

Can you add an ai agent (choosing the Ai modal) in the middle?
Edward Frazer

@otman_alami You can choose the AI model! We choose intelligent defaults based on the task and context, but you can override the default and choose to use O1, GPT4o, Claude, Gemini, and more.

@edward_frazer if you have tutos on youtube please share it with me, Thanks
Otman Alami
@edward_frazer please how to choose AI models?
Edward Frazer
Maker
@otman_alami Hey! You can do so by hovering over the pen in the bottom right of your automation panel and then clicking the second option from top, "Change your AI Model Preference"

Just tested DryMerge and it's an impressive automation solution. The ability to create custom AI agents through natural language commands is a game-changer - no more complex workflow builders or coding required. The example they provide (automating invoice processing and expense summaries) worked smoothly in testing. The agents are reliable and truly run 24/7, which is essential for business automation. App integrations are solid and setting up new automations is surprisingly intuitive.

It's a no-brainer, if you want to succeed you have to break into this market - DryMerge is looking extremely good, I've not come across a platform that has such a vast number of apps to connect to & with that much customisability! I look forward to trying it out & taking my first steps into the world of AI agents :)

@cranqnow Thanks a ton Sam, excited to see what you build :)

@edward_frazer Congrats to the launch! This looks really sick. I was wondering if DryMerge is able to also handle more complex workflows such as a whole candidate processing in a hiring process? (Writing emails, evaluating CVs, texting managers) And is DryMerge able to insert content into an interface without having an API? Beside the higher number of connectors, what is the difference to Lindy.ai? Congrats again! :)

@felix_bachle Thanks Felix! Yep, DryMerge can handle very complex workflows -- we have agents automating some 40+ step operations involving research, file reading (like CVs in PDFs), and of course tons of actions like emails and text. Right now, we do integrate with a few platforms that actually don't have great consumer APIs like WhatsApp. A general solution to this problem is coming soon for us, stay tuned :) The *biggest* difference between Lindy and DryMerge is the interface. We let you make a plain English document describing what your agent does and iterate on it in chat -- Lindy uses a traditional drag and drop workflow builder under the hood for its agents. Our interface removes the learning curve from automation, which we've found lets people automate a lot more stuff a lot faster (and happier).

Something like Zapier or Clay seems can do that too, What`s the difference? Still Congrates!

@marco2024cn Hey Jason! There are a couple of big differences. First is the interface to build agents -- instead of a no-code builder, we use plain english chat with a simple document editor. Our non-technical users have found this 10x easier to understand. The second is that agents are more flexible and powerful than no-code automations -- they understand nuance and semantics, can natively use conditional logic, and thus can automate far more tasks better than the alternative.
Jason W
@edward_frazer wow very good idea! Wish you guys success!

The potential for creativity and efficiency is vast, and the platform's focus on expanding agent capabilities is exciting. I'm eager to see the innovative agents users will build with DryMerge.
Blair
Congratulations on the successful launch! This product appears to have great potential. I'm particularly impressed with Drymerge's unique approach to the ongoing discussion regarding the optimal user interface for an agent platform—whether it should be graphic or chat-based. Niceeee.
