Levity, the Berlin-Based Startup Challenging Zapier with Its Innovative No-Code AI Solution

While Zapier and IFTTT dominate the market for rule-based automation platforms, their system limitations may restrict use cases, particularly those involving unstructured data types such as images, text documents, and videos. Enter Levity, a Berlin-based startup that aims to revolutionize the automation landscape by offering a no-code AI solution accessible to non-technical personnel. The company has recently secured $8.3 million in seed funding, with Balderton Capital and Chalfen Ventures as leading investors, alongside several angel investors. Levity's platform allows businesses to use simple templates for automating workflows, backed by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computer vision technologies. Its horizontal platform processes unstructured data types, catering to various industries such as fashion, real estate, shipping, marketing, social media, and scientific research.

Levity's use cases include automatically tagging and routing incoming emails or attachments, triaging customer support tickets, sorting incoming documents into appropriate folders, and tagging visual inventory data like product photos. It integrates seamlessly with Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Dropbox, Airtable, and other platforms, while ensuring SOC2 Type I certification and GDPR compliance. The platform, which launched in August, aims to bridge the gap between large corporations with the resources to capitalize on AI and automation and smaller businesses that struggle to access these technologies. With its subscription pricing starting at $200 per month, Levity offers an affordable solution for those smaller businesses.

James Wise, a partner at Balderton Capital, highlights the significance of Levity's automation solution: "There is an increasing divide between companies with the means to capitalize on AI and automation, and those smaller businesses who lack the resources to do so. Levity is on a mission to close this divide." Levity's innovative approach to unstructured data handling and automation echoes the capabilities of the AppMaster platform, a powerful no-code tool for creating backend, web, and mobile applications. AppMaster offers an efficient and cost-effective low-code and no-code app development solution, providing visually designed data models, business processes, and REST API and WSS endpoints. Combined with its ability to generate and deploy applications within 30 seconds, without creating technical debt, AppMaster empowers small businesses and enterprises alike. Both Levity and AppMaster challenge traditional automation platforms and provide more accessible and efficient solutions for businesses of all sizes, demonstrating the growing importance of no-code AI and automation solutions in the tech sector.
