DryMerge Uses AI Chatbots to Simplify App Automation for Nontechnical Users
A new startup called DryMerge leverages generative AI to let users connect different apps using simple natural language commands instead of complex coding. The platform aims to replace clunky no-code tools by allowing anyone to build automated workflows through an intuitive chatbot interface.
DryMerge is a new platform that connects apps that usually do not communicate with each other by using a simple chatbot interface. Created by developers Sam Brashears and Edward Frazer, the tool addresses the ongoing struggle of setting up app integrations without technical expertise. Users simply type natural language requests, such as asking the system to alert a team on Slack whenever a new prospect emails them, and DryMerge handles the underlying technical work automatically.
The platform features a clean, minimalist user interface that closely resembles standard AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Each new automation request starts a dedicated chat session that users can easily revisit and manage from a side panel. DryMerge currently integrates with a wide variety of popular services, including Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, Dropbox, OneDrive, X, and Discord to build seamless workflows.
By replacing complicated no-code tools with a natural language interface, DryMerge opens up workflow automation directly to nontechnical employees. The founders believe this approach eliminates the need for IT departments to build and maintain automations on behalf of other teams. When the system works properly, it effectively transforms tedious setup processes into quick, conversational commands that anyone can execute.
