About Pipefy
Pipefy is a commercial platform for orchestrating and automating business processes. Teams model a process as a pipeline of stages, collect requests through forms, assign work, and track progress, replacing ad hoc email and spreadsheet-based handoffs with a consistent workflow.
The vendor now emphasizes AI agents for workflow automation, offering a no-code agent builder alongside ready-made templates for common processes. An enterprise offering adds governance and scaling features. Pipefy is a hosted service that suits finance, HR, procurement and operations teams in companies of various sizes looking to standardize processes without custom development.
