Zapier: The $5B Unbundling Opportunity

1

ReclaimAI

Hey -- my startup (https://reclaim.ai) got mentioned here. Super cool! Funny enough: quite a few Zapier employees use us to do calendar automation. IMO, the opportunity is "and" not "or". Zapier is great (I use it too!) for so many use cases, but sometimes the use case is complex enough and the opportunity large enough that dedicated solutions emerge. So while some value may strip away from Zapier via dedicated solutions like Reclaim, I think Zapier will also continue to add value by educating more of the world, improving their UX, and connecting with more services. For the folks looking for coding-style solutions, I'm also big fan of https://pipedream.com/. Check it out!

Alloy Automation

`I'm very curious to hear a concrete example of a segment/industry and how it could be "unbundled", but unfortunately there is none in the article.` Alloy Automation is making a better Zapier for E-commerce: https://runalloy.com/.
