Missing blog cover image assets
Medium Severity
Each new post sets ogImage to /blog/<slug>/cover.png, but no matching files exist under apps/sim/public/blog/ for these slugs. With draft: false, published pages, listings, related posts, and Open Graph metadata will request images that 404.

TL;DR lists six not ten
Low Severity
The heading promises ten Zapier alternatives at a glance, but the bullet list stops at six entries. The full review section later includes ten tools, so the summary contradicts the article title and omits four alternatives readers would expect in the TL;DR.

Fixed in 03336a1 — added the four missing tools (Power Automate, Pipedream, Relay.app, Integrately) so the TL;DR now matches the 10 reviewed in the body.

Greptile SummaryThis PR adds five new AI agent blog posts to
Confidence Score: 4/5Safe to merge as a draft/staging publish, but the five missing cover images should land before any post is promoted or indexed — broken OG images affect every social share. All five posts pass schema validation and both author IDs resolve correctly from the registry. The only substantive gap is that the cover.png assets referenced in every frontmatter ogImage field are not committed, so social-sharing metadata will be broken in production until those images ship. Two minor copy errors (a TL;DR that omits four tools in best-zapier-alternatives, and the 'everyone' pronoun in ai-agent-ideas) are cosmetic but visible to readers. All five posts reference missing OG image assets; best-zapier-alternatives/index.mdx has a TL;DR that is incomplete relative to its own title. Important Files Changed

| That's what this article delivers: 10 specific AI agent ideas, each one mapped to a real workflow, connected to tools your team already uses, and buildable without a dedicated ML team. These aren't hypothetical. They're the kind of agents that generate measurable output from day one. We've organized them by use case area (sales, ops, content, engineering, support) and for each one, we cover what the agent does, what it connects to, and how to get started with Sim. | ||

| The selection filter is simple. Every idea on this list handles a high-frequency, repetitive task. Everyone connects to systems you probably already pay for. And everyone produces results that are easy to observe, measure, and improve. |

| ## TL;DR: The 10 Best Zapier Alternatives at a Glance | ||
|
|
||
| - **Sim:** The pick for teams building AI agent workflows that reason and act, not just move data between apps. Open source, self-hostable, SOC2/HIPAA compliant. | ||
|
|
||
| - **Make:** Visual scenario builder with operations-based pricing that can cost 2 - 5x less than Zapier at equivalent volume. Best for power users who need branching and loop logic. | ||
|
|
||
| - **n8n:** Self-host for free with no execution limits and full data control. Requires technical chops but can't be beat on cost or privacy. | ||
|
|
||
| - **Pabbly Connect:** Flat-rate pricing with a lifetime deal starting at $249 one-time. The budget pick for straightforward multi-step automations. | ||
|
|
||
| - **Workato:** Enterprise-grade integration with strong governance, audit logging, and support SLAs. Priced accordingly, starting around $1,000/month. | ||
|
|
||
| - **Activepieces:** Open-source with an MIT license and a cleaner, more approachable UI than n8n. Growing integration library (280+) with a free self-hosted tier. | ||

The "TL;DR: The 10 Best Zapier Alternatives at a Glance" section names only six tools (Sim, Make, n8n, Pabbly Connect, Workato, Activepieces). Microsoft Power Automate, Pipedream, Relay.app, and Integrately — all covered in the body — are absent. A reader who skims the summary will miss four of the ten options, contradicting the post's own title and table of contents.

Fixed in 03336a1 — the TL;DR now lists all 10. Added Microsoft Power Automate, Pipedream, Relay.app, and Integrately, summarized from each tool's existing review copy below.

All five new posts reference cover.png files (e.g., /blog/how-to-create-an-ai-agent/cover.png) that are not included in this PR. Until the actual image files are committed, every post will render a broken social-sharing card and an empty <meta property="og:image"> tag. The same applies to ai-agent-ideas, ai-agent-vs-chatbot, ai-agents-vs-rpa, and best-zapier-alternatives. This is flagged in the PR notes as a known follow-up — worth tracking explicitly so it ships before posts are indexed or shared.
Fix 'everyone' -> 'every idea' in ai-agent-ideas intro; add the four missing tools (Power Automate, Pipedream, Relay.app, Integrately) to the best-zapier-alternatives TL;DR so it lists all 10.
We are not HIPAA compliant; drop the claim from ai-agents-vs-rpa and best-zapier-alternatives, keeping the SOC2 claim.
