A Zap breaks the moment reality differs from the diagram. A Fasrad agent reads the actual email and figures out what to do next.
A Zap breaks the moment reality differs from the diagram. A Fasrad agent reads the actual email and works out what to do next.
A Zap is a flowchart frozen in time. New row in the sheet, send this email. New email matching this filter, create that task. It runs fast and never forgets a step, right up until an email says "actually can we push to next week?" There's no branch for that, so it lands in a folder a human still has to read.
Fasrad is an agent with its own email inbox, calendar, sheets, CRM and memory, and it reads the message the way a coordinator would. The reschedule email needs no pre-built path. The agent sees the request, checks the calendar and finds the conflict. It proposes two new times and updates the event once the person picks one.
Where the line falls:
Use Fasrad for the work that needs reading, judgment and a reply written in your voice.
Buyers usually compare these adjacent jobs before choosing an AI agent.
Yes, the ones doing judgment work: triaging email, replying, booking, following up. Usually one instruction replaces a multi-step Zap with its filters and paths. Anywhere a step needs reading and deciding, the agent does it with no flowchart to build or maintain.
Anywhere a step needs reading, judgment and a reply in your voice, like triaging an inbox, booking and rescheduling, or the long tail no fixed branch catches. Zapier fires the same predefined step on a filter you wired in advance. Fasrad reads the actual message, works out what to do next, and remembers it between runs. It also calls any REST API directly or browses a page when no connector exists, so you're never waiting for an integration to ship.
You describe the trigger in plain language. new_email starts the agent when mail lands in its inbox, lead_captured fires when the embed chatbot catches a lead, and you set cron-style scheduled tasks by typing the cadence. There's no trigger-app picker and no test-and-publish loop.
On the web at fasrad.com/chat, as a private Telegram bot, over its own email inbox, and as a public embed chatbot you drop on your site with a script tag. It's the same agent with the same memory on all four surfaces. Zapier has no chat surface of its own, since it moves data behind the scenes.
Wide. Text, email, calendar, sheets, web and APIs, plus voice dictation and inbound phone answering. It's strongest at email, calendar and data coordination, and it covers audio and the phone from the same agent, which reads, decides and remembers across runs.
Start with a 7-day free trial. Full access, no card needed. Then $49 per month. Setup takes about four minutes and it's in public beta. There's no per-task meter, so you're not counting how many times a Zap fired this month.
