Ipek

People who run recurring processes like customer feedback triage, bookkeeping, reporting, or compliance checks often end up manually stitching together APIs, PDFs, and spreadsheet exports. The founder describes personally having to 'vibecode' automations by hand with no visual way to build, run, and maintain them. Existing no-code tools like Zapier or Make require wiring up every step yourself, charge per task executed, run in their cloud (so data leaves the user's machine), and can't reach local files on disk. Developer-focused alternatives like n8n, Windmill, or Pipedream can do similar work but require running a server or docker setup and wiring steps manually, putting them out of reach for non-technical users.

Ipek is a downloadable macOS/Windows app where users describe the process they want automated and its AI plans, builds, and debugs the workflow on a visual canvas, combining APIs, PDF and spreadsheet extraction, and export cleanup. Workflows run locally on the user's own machine rather than in a vendor cloud, with no per-task billing, and finished files land on the desktop. Users can open and read the code Ipek's AI writes, which they own, though they don't write it themselves. The bundled Ipek AI chat uses a user-supplied Anthropic Claude API key with no Ipek account, server, or markup in between, and Ipek also supports localhost MCP so users can connect their own agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) instead. Native local-LLM support for the bundled AI is on the roadmap; scheduled triggers work today while email triggers and webhooks are listed as coming.
