Make wires apps together. Fasrad is the worker on the other end.

Fasrad as a Make alternative

A Make scenario is a flow chart. Every branch is a module you place, every condition is a filter you configure, every "what if the email doesn't have an attachment" is a router you add by hand. It runs exactly the path you drew and nothing else. The moment a vendor sends an invoice in a layout you didn't anticipate, the scenario either errors out or routes it to the wrong place, and you're back in the editor.

Fasrad starts from the other end. You don't draw the path — you describe the outcome. "Watch this inbox, pull the total and due date off any invoice, log it to my Sheet, and flag anything over €2,000 to me on Telegram." The agent reads the email, understands a PDF whether it's from Stripe or a one-off supplier, and decides. There's no router for the unexpected case because the agent reads the unexpected case the way a person would.

Where each one fits:

• Make runs fixed, high-volume plumbing — sync 40,000 rows between Airtable and Postgres on a schedule, no judgment required.
• Fasrad handles the steps that need reading, drafting, or deciding — triage a reply, write a personalized follow-up, summarize what a webpage actually says.
• Make gives you 2,000+ pre-built app connectors. Fasrad calls any REST API with custom auth, and you describe the call instead of picking it from a list.
• Fasrad does the work itself — it has its own inbox, calendar, CRM, and datastores — rather than only shuttling data between other people's tools.

Pick Fasrad when the problem is "someone has to read this, judge it, and respond" — the steps that need a person, done by an agent.

Frequently asked questions

Can Fasrad connect to 2,000 apps like Make does?

Make ships a large library of pre-built connectors for niche SaaS. Fasrad covers Gmail, Google Calendar, Sheets and Drive natively, and reaches anything else through its API tool by calling REST endpoints with custom auth — so if your work is reading and writing email, documents, and a database, Fasrad does it directly without picking modules from a list.

Is this just Make with a chat box on top?

No. Make executes a path you designed in advance; it does not interpret content. Fasrad reads each email, PDF, or webpage and chooses what to do, so it handles inputs you never anticipated. It also holds state — CRM, datastores, memory — which a stateless scenario doesn't.

Where does Fasrad fit versus Make?

Make is fixed plumbing — syncing thousands of rows between databases on a schedule, mirroring records, fan-out webhooks, where the logic never changes and no judgment is needed. Fasrad is for the steps that require reading or deciding: triaging a reply, drafting a personalized follow-up, interpreting an invoice in a layout it's never seen. Many people run the two side by side — Make for the data pipes, Fasrad for the judgment.

How do I migrate a scenario I already built in Make?

You usually don't port it one-to-one. You describe the outcome the scenario was meant to produce and let the agent set up the trigger and steps. The reading-and-deciding modules you stacked up in Make collapse into a single instruction. The pure data-sync legs are often worth leaving in Make and letting Fasrad handle the judgment parts.

Can it run on a schedule, not just on triggers?

Yes. Tell it "every weekday at 7am, check the inbox for new bookings and update the Sheet" and it creates a cron task. It also fires on events — a new email, a new lead from your embedded chat widget — and can proactively check in without any prompt at all.

What does it cost?

$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime Setup runs about four minutes — you describe what the agent should do and it's working. It's in public beta.
