It is an open source-based business automation tool that allows you to visually design flows that connect multiple apps and services. The biggest feature is that it can be installed and operated directly on a server.
It is popular with companies where data control is important and developers who want to customize automation in detail. There is also a cloud paid version for users who find installation burdensome. Recently, it has also been in the spotlight as a tool for building AI agent workflows.
