24 alternatives to ToolJet – Build internal tools using AI
Hi HN, founder here again! I first launched ToolJet here in 2021 as a one-person project. It blew up really well & got 1k stars on GitHub (https://github.com/ToolJet/ToolJet/) in around 8 hours. Back then ToolJet was basically a frontend builder that could connect to different data sources. Since then, we kept expanding: - Added a workflow automation tool so builders could orchestrate background jobs. - Added a built-in no-code database so builders didn’t need to spin up a new db. - Eventually grew into a full-stack platform for internal tools. - And other obvious…

Activepieces▲212We observed two main points in the AI automation industry that led us to these decisions: 1. *Compute is so much cheaper now compared to 15 years ago. Why are users still paying like it’s 2010?* So, we made tasks/runs unlimited on all our paid cloud plans. We still have an open-source, self-hosted version, but for cloud users, they will now pay for premium features and have the freedom to use them as much as they want. 1. *Building a good AI agent is a knowledge transfer task, so everyone should be able to build their own agents.* If every time I need to automate something or build an…

Blocks▲448Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…

Budibase 2.0▲381Hi there, Mike here from Budibase. We’ve recently launched AI Agents into Beta, alongside our existing open-source app-building and automation tools. We built Budibase Agents for teams that want to leverage AI within real-world workflows, using their own LLMs, data, and APIs. Because of this, our Agents can be powered by any LLM with an OpenAI-compatible API, including open-source and locally-hosted models. This means you can build Agents that connect to your existing toolstack, within your own environment. Some more details: - Agents' behavior is configured using natural language…

Construct Computerfree tier, from $9/mo▲378We are building Construct Computer a cloud OS where autonomous AI agents ("Constructs") live and do your day to day work. You can observe them in real-time through a desktop OS frontend. The idea is agent-native infrastructure: instead of agents being API calls, they're persistent processes with their own compute, storage, and network identity. With integrations with a vast ecosystem of business tools, the Construct Agent can do anything from scheduling meetings, preparing documents, to deep researching the web, join meetings, and automate long running business operations with minimal human…

Hi, founders! We’ve actually launched quite some time ago, but (semi)pivoted a few times along the way. Jet Admin is an app builder for creating internal tools, admin panels, dashboards, external portals, and so on without coding. You can connect to any backend, assemble a UI through the visual builder, and set up data binding, transformations, conditionals, etc. through the point-and-click interface. If you need to, you can create custom HTTP, SQL queries, make data transformations with JS, and embed custom UI components. We believe that product, data, operations teams should be able to…
