There's no flow builder or wiring needed. Plainwork doesn't require an API or server. If you can click it, Plainwork can automate it. It works across legacy tools and internal apps, not just those with integrations. Show it a task once or let it learn from repetition, and it handles routine parts while you stay in control.
