About this trend

Synthesized from Google Trends

Teams are searching for ways to automate multi-step business processes without writing code, driven by the need to replace manual handoffs between tools like Slack, Google Sheets, and CRUD apps. The intent is almost entirely informational—founders are learning what’s possible rather than comparing vendors. The opportunity lies in building vertical-specific templates for common workflows (e.g., sales follow-ups, hiring pipelines) that current no-code platforms handle poorly.
