Make is a cloud-based software platform for creating automation scenarios. Users can connect independent online services through a graphical interface without the need for programming. [1] [2] It integrates services via APIs. [3]

Contents

It supports automated workflows and data exchange between services, including AI-assisted automation features such as AI agents. [1] [4]

History

The project originated in Prague [5] [6] and was founded by six Czech entrepreneurs: Patrik Šimek, Ondřej Gazda, Roman Bršlica, Tomáš Schel, Michal Toman, and Pavel Duras. [7] [8]

Acquisition and rebranding to Make

In 2020, Integromat was acquired by the German company Celonis [9] [10] for approximately $100 million (roughly 2.5 billion CZK). [11] [12] After the acquisition by Celonis in 2022, Integromat was rebranded to Make. [13] [14] [15] Even after the acquisition, the Make platform retained its own development team based in Prague. [7] The company's workforce grew from 77 employees in 2021 to approximately 190 in 2022. [16]

Platform

Make operates as a visual automation platform that does not require coding. [3] [1] It connects different systems and enables the creation of workflows through a graphical interface. [15] Automations are built using so-called “scenarios”, which consist of triggers and subsequent actions that respond to changes in applications or services. [17] Media coverage in 2024–2025 described Make’s expansion into AI-assisted automation. [18] [19] In April 2025, the platform introduced AI Agents for executing tasks within automation scenarios. [20]

Some reviews have noted that the platform can be more difficult for certain users, particularly when configuring more complex workflows. [21] Lupa.cz has reported examples of the platform being used by large organizations. [15] [2]

In 2020, Integromat was included in Gartner’s analytical report titled Cool Vendors in Business Process Automation, which highlights innovative tools in the field of business process automation. [22]
