In a recent post, we delved into seven AI tools currently exciting us at No Code MBA, including favorites such as text-to-speech, text-to-video, podcast editing, image generation, and Zapier.

Today's focus narrows down to Zapier and its AI integrations, offering innovative ways to enhance workflow automation and data connectivity.

What is Zapier?

Zapier is a platform that connects different apps together, especially when there are no native integrations.

It operates through a trigger-action model, where a specific trigger can initiate an action in another app. One such powerful action tool we've been exploring is ChatGPT, OpenAI's conversational AI model.

A New Way to Create Zaps in Zapier

Zapier now allows users to simply write out in plain text what they wish to accomplish, and it creates the zaps accordingly. For instance, you could input, "I want to create a zap where I can send an email from Gmail, have ChatGPT summarize it, and then send the summary back to me".

This zap could be helpful for long emails that require summarization for quicker comprehension.

While this feature adds convenience, it's important to remember that using ChatGPT involves API usage and potential fees.

Interesting AI Integrations with Zapier

Here are some fascinating AI integrations using Zapier that may spark your interest:

1. Creating Blog Posts from Google Forms Responses with ChatGPT

If you collect information via Google Forms or any form service, you can use ChatGPT to create blog post outlines from the responses received. The AI model can summarize the data and even save it as a draft inside a platform like WordPress.

2. Transcribing and Summarizing Voice Notes

Many of us enjoy sending voice messages but don't always have the luxury of time to listen to long ones.

With Zapier, you can have a voice note transcribed using a service like Speechnotes, then get ChatGPT to summarize it and save the summary in a document in Google Docs or even as a message in Slack.

3. Summarizing Online Articles

If you enjoy summarizing articles for an email newsletter or for personal reference, you can use the Zapier Chrome extension to trigger ChatGPT to summarize an article with a single click.

The summary could then be drafted directly into your email marketing software or any other preferred app.

4. Auto-Generating Email Replies

You can set up a zap to receive an email at your Zapier email address, get ChatGPT to create a response, and save a draft reply in Gmail.

Zapier's ChatGPT Plugin

In collaboration with OpenAI, Zapier has created a plugin that allows you to automate tasks directly within the ChatGPT interface. This plugin connects to over 5000 apps, including Google Sheets, Gmail, and Slack, and lets you interact with them from within ChatGPT.

These are just some of the many ways Zapier and AI tools like ChatGPT can help streamline your tasks. If you're using Zapier and AI tools for unique tasks or have some innovative zaps you wish to create, we'd love to hear about them.
