DryMerge lets users create AI agents that connect to their apps and automate repetitive tasks. These agents adhere to arbitrary user instructions telling them what to do. For example, a user could say "When I get a new demo request on my calendar, enrich the attendee's info, add them as a contact + deal in my CRM, and send me a Slack message with the details". DryMerge spins up an agent that works in the background and automates that task in seconds.

Importantly, DryMerge uses a chat interface instead of a traditional drag-and-drop automation builder. This makes it faster to set up and far more intuitive for non-technical users.

We are a small engineering organization that ships a lot of high-impact code fast.
