Convertapi, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Convertapi account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

ConvertAPI is a file conversion service that allows developers to convert various file formats, such as documents, images, and spreadsheets, into different formats programmatically.
