I know Zapier has new LLM features but I haven't done in a detailed comparison. I would be curious if the Magic Loops creators could speak to what their product does that is different. On first glance, it seems to do less than Zapier, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just that it might excel for different use-cases.

Our goal with Magic Loops was to leverage a LLM-first approach to programming, allowing more people to write code that does useful things.

It turns out that when you write simple programs, they often resemble what you'd find on Zapier or IFTTT :)

Wouldn’t it be possible to leverage Zapier for their integrations instead of trying to imitate that?
Definitely! Because it's just code at the end of the day, as soon as our code-runners have internet access you can integrate to your heart's content.
