Your Low-code toolbelt for the LLM era.
We make it easy to get the most out of every AI call.
Get value out of every transformation.
When everyone has access to AI, the difference is how you use it: are your prompts and responses working for you?
Upgrade your prompts
AI is a hungry tool, but feeding it messy or commoditized data isn't going to give you an edge. Summit search is powered by an engine built specifically for AI agents, enriching your prompts with real-time, relevant context.
Get Structured output
Summit parses JSON out of raw LLM responses that you can immediately put to work in your workflows. For more power, you can provide an output definition to get responses that fit a strict schema.
A Clear path to mastery.
By learning how to use a handful of versatile building blocks, you can create almost anything.
Less really is more
Music has 12 notes, the rainbow has 7 colors—even French cuisine has only 5 mother sauces! Summit has a small set of incredibly flexible building blocks so you can spend less time reading docs and more time delighting your coworkers and customers.
COntinuous improvement
We're striving to keep this set as small as possible so your learning can compound over time. Becoming proficient means staying proficient, without the need to learn entirely new products and interfaces.
Hello, loops!
Cycle over lists of data, process pages of results.
Get the complete data set
Stripe, HubSpot, Linear—nearly every popular API uses pages to limit the amount of data they return with a single request. Summit makes it possible to fetch every page of data to make sure you've processed every charge, deal, or issue in question.
Easily honor rate limits
Your favorite API's and services can block or throttle your requests, causing them to fail if you fetch them too quickly. Easily add a pause between every request in your loop to stay within these rate limits and keep the data flowing.
Build here, use Absolutely anywhere.
Every Summit model you set live has its own API.
no-code Companion apps
No need to write code to use your model's API. Summit has companion apps in Zapier, HubSpot, Clay, and more, making it a point-and-click exercise to choose a model, run it, and use the output in your existing workflows.
Developer Friendly
Our customers aren't constrained to using no-code platforms. Because every model has its own API, you can also call your creation from any technology stack, from Python to PHP to Ruby to JavaScript.
Your home for the messy middle (of your workflows).
Store your transformations in Summit and experience:
Reusability
You built something awesome, but now you, or your next client, wants to use it from a different platform. Summit keeps your transformations separate from the platform where triggers happen, maximizing re-use.
Composability
Because models call other models, you can build something once and re-use it inside as many other models and workflows you want. Experience the compounding effect of composing new models using existing models.
Advantage
No-Code often lags behind the rest of the tech world, getting yesterday's technology today. Summit is committed to kicking the no-code space into a higher gear to keep you competitive and relevant.
The Joy of Speed
Our product North Star is to give you the best user experience in no-code, and that means efficiency: keyboard shortcuts, fast load times, responsive interfaces. Your tools should feel good in your hands.

Upgrade Your Low-Code Experience.
With the joys of text-based sharing, code re-use, and native math support.
Easily collaborate on models as text.
Forget recording videos or writing out click-by-click instructions. Export and import your models as text to share in Slack, Discord, or even code repositories like GitHub.
Ludicrous Speed
What's faster than clicking around an interface? Typing a few lines of text. Copy-paste, find and replace: everything coders have been enjoying for decades is now available to makers using Summit.
Make it, sell it
Looking for a new way to monetize your creativity? Create a Summit model, then export it as text and offer it to users of Zapier, HubSpot, and Clay as a digital asset using a marketplace like Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy.
Don't repeat yourself: Reuse what you make!
Imagine building a model that generates an image that conforms to your brand guidelines. Because Summit models are composable—models can call other models, you can reuse this anywhere you need an image!
Experience leverage as a team
With composability, teams can collaborate more effectively by breaking down the problem and assigning it in pieces. Experts can focus on creating models that newcomers can incorporate into their own creations, reducing costs and accelerating timelines.
Spend more time in your zone of expertise
With the ability to rapidly reuse existing models, you're free to focus on the "last mile" of tailoring those features to that next client or challenge. Less starting from scratch means more time to delight.
Crunch numbers and calendar-based math.
Do you need to figure out the first Monday of next month? How about forecasting the amount of inventory your client will have before Black Friday or Cyber Monday? No problem.
Your Ti-86 is here
Summit has native support for numbers for basic arithmetic, matrix math to calculate pricing, and time-based simulations for forecasting, making many calculations even easier to do in Summit than in a spreadsheet.
Free GPT with mathematical Input
Enriching a prompt with text is cool. Enriching a prompt with a numerical forecast is divine. Wow your customers and clients by generating a spreadsheet worth of data with zero hallucinations and use GPT to write a summary or highlight key moments in the data.
I have to say, calling Summit from a Zap to calculate metered pricing has been an awesome automation for SignWell sales.

testimonials
Why Automation Teams Love Summit
Hundreds of teams use Summit to optimize their workflows across all departments in their organizations.
"Summit is awesome! I use it like no-code cron, but much, much better. I've used the basic Zapier scheduler for multiple zaps, but it desperately needs more granularity like this! One-off zaps is SO useful!"
"Exciting development in the no-code space! Love to see the precise workflow control Summit can offer."
“Before Summit, all my 'engineering-as-marketing' plans were beholden to engineering priorities—not anymore! Summit gives me the power to build both internal and external ROI calculations for potential customers.”
“If I want to do SEO, I have 100 tools to choose from—but if I want to do engineering as marketing, I have to find some engineers. With Summit I have a platform to do that instead.”
"I've banged my head 80 different ways trying to solve scheduling problems in Zapier! Summit is such an elegant solution. Super pumped for this!"
"Summit gives us a powerful way to show our prospects the ROI of using our tools that help automate AWS cost monitoring and reporting tasks. Just one of the many use cases for Summit!"
“While Clay is great for finding prospects, with Summit, we now also have flexible and efficient ways to score prospects, assign values to them, and qualify them at scale!”
“What Summit has built is incredible. I can go from organization to organization and automate their processes using Summit's language model—and the architecture will be clean and simple!”
“What I would have given to have query-capable model in the past! Managing the Google Sheet Zap was a nightmare and so unreliable.”
“Summit's tools are awesome! We love using them make class lessons real and relevant to founders.”
“We love how Summit empowers creators and opens their eyes to what's possible with their newsletters.”
“I'm using Summit-powered calculations on quite literally every growth project we do moving forward. This is incredible. Excellent work!”
“Summit having an engine for recurrence rules is the kind of bravery we need in software today!”
“I tried Summit and it blew me away. Fantastic pieces of software and I keep thinking of new ways to use their tools. You hit it out of the park!”
“We’ve been using Summit in our marketing campaigns and the team has been fantastic to work with! They’ve been very responsive to all of our support needs, so that gives us a ton of confidence in their solution long-term.”
“Summit is extremely cool—enrichment, engagement, and demand-gen are all needs I’ve had to solve with separate and siloed platforms historically in executive leadership roles. I absolutely love this!”
frequently asked questions
plus the answers you need before getting started with summit
Learn more about our approach, our pricing, and how we support you.
1. What is Summit and how does it work?
Summit is a no-code/low-code platform that allows you to make new actions (steps) for use in your workflows running in Zapier, Hubspot, Make, Customer.io, and more—any place where you can use one of our companion apps or call an API.
3. How does the model builder work?
The core of Summit is our no-code canvas, or model builder. Using a set of extremely flexible building blocks, users can stitch together web requests, calculations, spreadsheet data, images, text, and calls to AI. Your finished product is called a model. When you set a model live, it has its own API endpoints with input fields and output data of your choosing.
5. What kinds of things can I create?
Summit can be used to build both major categories of steps (components) in workflows: actions and triggers. While not all platforms allow you to build custom triggers, most (Zapier, Make, Glide, Customer.io, and HubSpot) allow you to create custom actions. Depending on your preferred platform, these custom actions are sometimes called apps, HTTP requests, or API connections. However they're named, Summit can plug into them!
7. Can I hire Summit for a project to design and build a complete workflow automation solution for me?
Yes! We understand that sometimes done-for-you is better than do-it-yourself. If that's you, please schedule a call and let's talk about your needs. Our team of automation experts is available to work with you to design, build, and implement Summit-powered automation solutions from the ground-up so your workflows function efficiently and accurately right from the start.
9. What kind of technical support and training does Summit provide?
Summit offers full documentation for every type of building block in its model builder, custom GPT assistants to chat with, YouTube videos, livestreams, and 1-1 training for enterprise customers and agencies. New customers for the model builder can also access a range of templates to get going in a click. Feel free to browse the Summit Guide & Tutorials here.
2. Who is Summit for?
Summit is for ambitious no-coders, low-coders, and traditional coders that don't have time to waste on configuration and workarounds. We support you by tightly integrating all of the tools and layers needed to build awesome apps, automations, and API's, which dramatically reduces the time spent on anything other than the most valuable bits. Suffice it to say, If you’re comfortable in other integration platforms like Zapier and Make, you’ll feel right at home with Summit.
We aim to meet no-coders, low-coders, and traditional coders where they're at, and a few essential skills will help you be most productive with the Summit platform: (1) a working understanding of API’s, (2) knowledge of how to read and write JSON, (3) a basic grasp of HTML / CSS for rendering data, and (4) comfort with writing SQL queries for retrieving data from our built-in storage layer.
4. What are the differences between Summit and Make, Zapier, and other no/low-code integration platforms?
Summit is a full-featured development environment rather than just a workflow builder. As many people “graduate” from Zapier to Make, similarly, Make users turn to Summit when they’re looking for features like: built-in persistent storage, activity logging for every workflow run, liquid syntax support, models as exportable text to store in GitHub, and an HTML presentation layer with hosted and embeddable pages to display model output and images. Users often think of Summit as a workflow-centered Retool instead of a simple integration builder.
6. Can Summit components work with platforms other than Zapier, Make, Customer.io, and HubSpot?
The underlying logic of components (models) built with Summit are callable from any platform that allows you to call API's and parse the responses (JSON). That said, our focus is on supporting usage from the above platforms since we know they can not only call your Summit model, but also process the response within your workflow.
8. How does pay-as-you-go work?
It couldn't be easier to get started with Summit! While in development (i.e. working in our model builder), all usage is free. Once you set a model live, external calls (via API or from a workflow in Zapier, etc), or calls via visualization tools (e.g. playground mode, hosted page, or embedded app) are charged on a usage basis using a credits system. No minimum purchase is required. All costs associated with accessing generative AI tools are also included—no need to sign up for additional services. Complex models consume more credits than lighter, simpler models. The credits cost of your model is displayed in the builder as you build or before the model is run in a visualization tool. Total credits used are tracked and billed on a monthly recurring frequency (based on your initial sign up date). We also let you set a monthly limit to make sure your bill never exceeds a specific threshold.
