Automation tools like Zapier and IFTTT have become increasingly popular for creating rules that integrate multiple apps and services. However, these platforms often require technical expertise, making them inaccessible to non-technical users within businesses.
The Problem with Current Automation Tools
These automation tools can be cumbersome to use, especially when dealing with unstructured data types such as images, videos, or text without a predefined format. As a result, many businesses struggle to implement effective automation rules that cater to their specific needs.
Introducing Levity: A No-Code Automation Platform
Berlin-based startup Levity has developed an innovative solution to this problem. Founded by Gero Keil and Thilo Hüllmann, Levity offers a no-code platform for creating AI-powered automation rules. This platform enables non-technical users to create workflows using simple templates, with an underlying AI that handles the complex processing of unstructured data types.

Levity’s Mission: Democratizing Automation for Businesses

By providing a no-code platform that makes automation accessible to all, Levity aims to bridge the gap between large corporations and smaller businesses.
