I genuinely believe that low-code workflow orchestrators like Zapier or IFTTT will be the first major victims of agentic LLM workflows. Maybe not right now but already it’s easier to write a prompt describing a workflow than it is to join a bunch of actions and triggers on a graph.

The whole hype around AI replacing entire job functions does not have as much traction as the concept of using agents to handle all of the administrative stuff that connects a workflow together.

Any open source model that supports MCP can do it, so there’s no vendor lock in, no need to learn the setup for different workflow tools, and a lot of money saved on seats for expensive SaaS tools.
