The open-source visual platform for building, running & shipping AI agents and workflows.
Drag blocks onto a canvas → wire agents, tools & logic → run with live streaming. No code required — fully extensible when you need it.

⭐ If Zelaxy is useful to you, star the repo — it genuinely helps the project reach more builders.
Zelaxy is a visual operating system for AI work. You compose workflows on a canvas out of blocks — AI agents, integrations, logic, loops, sub-workflows — connect them, and a real execution engine runs the graph with token-by-token LLM streaming.
It looks like a flow builder. Under the hood it's a concurrent, topological execution engine with parallel branches, loops, conditional routing, sub-workflows, built-in vector search (RAG), guardrails, and multi-provider AI orchestration — the kind of thing you'd otherwise stitch together from a dozen scripts and services.
| 🧩 270+ blocks | 🔌 245+ integrations | 🤖 25+ AI providers | ⚡ 65+ triggers | 🧠 RAG built-in |

…and growing every week. 🌾
🍃 Build workflows, not glue code. Drag three blocks onto the canvas, connect them, hit run.
Chain frontier labs, blazing-fast inference hosts, your own cloud, and local models — in a single pipeline. Pick a model from a dropdown; Zelaxy handles each provider's API, auth, streaming, and quirks.
Every logo below is a real block you drag onto the canvas. Auth, API calls, and pagination are handled for you.

Zelaxy is right for you if you want to:
- ⚡ Automate complex AI processes without writing a custom backend
- 🔀 Chain multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, DeepSeek, Grok, Mistral, Ollama…) in one pipeline
- 🔍 Visually debug — see exactly which block produced which output, and how long it took
- 📚 Build RAG pipelines with vector search built in — upload, embed, and query from any block
- 🪝 Trigger from Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Stripe, Telegram, webhooks, or cron
- 🏠 Self-host an open-source platform you can extend with your own blocks and tools

Fans out to web + academic search in parallel, then an agent synthesizes a cited brief as structured JSON.
🗨️ Chat → 🔀 Parallel [ Tavily · ArXiv ] → 🤖 Agent · synthesize + cite → 📤 Response
Classifies inbound email, drafts a knowledge-grounded reply, and escalates urgent cases — behind a human approval gate.
📧 Gmail → 🤖 Agent · classify → 🧭 Router → 🔴 urgent → Slack · 🟢 normal → Knowledge + draft + 🙋 Human → Gmail · ⚪ spam → stop
Answers strictly from your documents via pgvector search, with a hallucination guardrail that blocks ungrounded replies.

Turns a raw email into a scored, enriched CRM record — enrich, qualify with an agent, then branch on the score.

| 01 · Design 🎨 | Drag blocks onto the canvas. Connect AI agents, APIs, databases, and services. |
| 02 · Trigger 🪝 | Webhooks, cron schedules, or event-driven from Slack, GitHub, Gmail, Stripe & more. |
| 03 · Run & stream ⚡ | Hit run. Watch blocks execute concurrently with real-time token streaming and per-block I/O. |

jobs use BullMQ backed by Redis (Upstash recommended) — set REDIS_URL on both Vercel and the
Railway worker.
