Workflow automation, built and maintained by engineers. Not just another Zapier template.
We build automations across any platform plus custom code, then keep them running when an API changes. Rules where rules work, AI only where judgment is needed, always with a human in the loop.
Most automation breaks the week after it ships. We are the team that builds it and keeps it running. Our vetted engineers work across Zapier, Make, n8n, UiPath, and Power Automate, plus custom code and self-hosting when no-code hits its ceiling.
What is workflow automation at Gaper?
Workflow automation at Gaper is a build-and-maintain service where our 8,200+ vetted engineers design, build, and keep running automated workflows across any platform (Zapier, Make, n8n, UiPath, Power Automate) plus custom code, using rules-based automation for routine work and AI agents only where judgment is needed, always with a human in the loop, with teams spun up in 24 hours from $35/hr and a 2-week risk-free trial.
Any platform, plus custom code. No lock-in.
No lock-in. We build where it makes sense for you, hand you the keys, and self-host when no-code hits its ceiling.

The right tool for the job, not AI everywhere
Most work does not need AI. We use rules-based automation for routine, high-volume, deterministic tasks, and we reach for AI agents only where genuine judgment is needed. Either way, a person stays in the loop.
- Use for routine, high-volume, deterministic work.
- Predictable, auditable, cheap to run.
- Where most of your manual work actually lives.
- Use only where genuine judgment is needed.
- Classification, extraction, drafting, triage.
- Always reviewed by a person before it acts.
That is the honest version of the pitch. Rules first, AI where judgment is needed, and a human in the loop on both.
We build it, and we keep it running.
See the price, test the team, and watch the workflow that still works in six months.
What we build for you
If your team copies and pastes between tools, babysits brittle zaps, or rekeys the same data twice, that is the work we automate first.
We build it, and we keep it running
Most automation breaks the week after it ships. A no-code shop builds your stack and disappears. We are the team that stays on the hook when an API changes.
AWe build it
- We design the automation around your real workflow, not a template.
- We build across the right platform, or in custom code when no-code hits its limit.
- We test it against your edge cases before it goes live.
- We hand you a system you own and can inspect.
BWe keep it running
- We monitor your automations so a silent break does not sit dead for weeks.
- We fix it when a tool, API, or schema changes underneath it.
- We keep version control and a clear record of what runs and why.
- There is someone accountable when something breaks, not a dead support email.
Maintenance is not a hidden upsell. It is staffed by the same vetted engineers who build it, from $35/hr, as part of the engagement, because the value is in the workflow that still works in six months.
How we work
DIY no-code vs a no-code agency vs Gaper engineers
Here are the contrasts that actually matter when you have outgrown DIY Zapier and need someone on the hook.
| DIY no-code (Zapier/Make) | No-code agency | Gaper engineers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who builds it | You and your team | The agency, from templates | Vetted engineers, around your workflow |
| Who maintains it | You, when it breaks | Often no one after launch | Us, staffed and accountable |
| Custom code beyond no-code | No | Rarely | Yes, when no-code hits its ceiling |
| Self-hosting | No | Rarely | Yes |
| Platform lock-in | Tied to one tool | Tied to the agency's stack | None, platform-agnostic |
| Vetted talent | Whoever is free internally | Varies | Top 1%, 8,200+ engineers |
| Rate | Your team's time | Project fees, often opaque | From $35/hr, transparent |
| Risk-free trial | Not applicable | Rarely | 2-week risk-free trial |
Costs vary by scope. Figures here are ranges and brand constants, not a fixed quote. For wider context, Toptal runs $150 to $250/hr, Turing $50 to $100/hr, and Upwork $20 to $80/hr.
We also ship packaged AI agents in production
Proof that we run real AI, not slides. These are our vertical agents, administrative scope, always with human review. This page is about custom automation, but the AI work is real.
Why teams pick Gaper for automation
Built and maintained, not one-off
We build the automation and we keep it running. When an API changes, someone is accountable. You get a system that still works in six months, not a stack you babysit alone.
Vetted engineers, not template assembly
The top 1% of 8,200+ engineers build your workflow and move into custom code and self-hosting when no-code hits its ceiling. Real engineering, at staffing prices from $35/hr.
Platform-agnostic, no lock-in
Zapier, Make, n8n, UiPath, Power Automate, or custom code. We build where it fits your stack, hand you the keys, and never lock you to one vendor.
Right tool, human in the loop
Rules where rules work, AI only where judgment is needed, and a person signing off on both. We tell you plainly where AI does not belong, and we prove the team with a 2-week trial.
