Wow this is so cool, feels like it could be a better Zapier

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.

Zapier has a pretty big barrier of entry, it already provides countless integrations - that would be the actual tough part to catch up with.
