Introducing Stepper: the free AI-native workflow automation builder

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Stepper, an AI-native workflow automation platform built specifically for SMBs and Solopreneurs that is cost effective to scale, and powerfully simple to use.

We’ve been watching the way automation has grown over the last decade. Tools promised freedom, but often delivered confusion in the long run: costs that balloon the moment you scale, workflows that feel like a black box, and “simple” platforms that break the second you look away.

So we built Stepper.

Not as another option in the pile, but as a product we would love to use. An AI-native workflow builder that makes automation feel like progress, not punishment.

The vision behind Stepper is simple: AI-fueled workflows that save time, scale businesses, and remove the usual barriers of cost, time, and gatekeeping. We believe automation should feel clear, fast, and affordable. Not like chaos duct-taped together by hopes and dreams.

Stepper is the first workflow builder that can think with you—using AI to help you design, understand, and improve your automations—while still keeping you in control every step of the way.

With Stepper you can go from idea to automation in one conversation. Tell the Stepper AI what you want, and it will build your workflows while you watch, and be there to help you understand, tweak and improve them in the future. But don’t worry, you’re still in charge! You can always see exactly how your automations are set up and edit them yourself.

One of the key stand-out features of Stepper is Components. These are reusable modular building blocks you can create once and reuse everywhere. Users can build up their Component library and then drop those Components into as many flows as they want. This also includes support for multiple triggers in the same workflow. This allows users to build related automations together in one place. It also unlocks powerful applications for recurring logic like authentication, approvals, client handoffs, lookups, and common transforms.

Key differentiators include:

• Conversational AI workflow creation: Go from idea to automation in one conversation. Work step-by-step with AI to build your workflow.
• Reusable Components: Save any workflow fragment to reuse across automations
• Secure integrations: Use built-in services or bring your own API keys for total control.
• Multiple triggers per workflow: Build processes that actually reflect how your business runs.
• Transparent pricing: Unlimited runs (within fair use) on the Stepper Pro plan for USD $19/month

This isn’t about chasing shiny features. It’s about confidence. Momentum. Relief. Pride. The feeling that your business is running with you and not against you. Or that feeling that you can unleash your potential without being held back.

Stepper is available today. And we are releasing it as a standalone product, and as part of our Paperform platform. Droves of teams have already started using it to replace brittle processes. They can scale without extra headcount and finally see their operations clearly.

We’d love you to try it. Kick the tires. Use it to hit escape velocity. See what happens when automation is built for humans, not just machines.

Because automation shouldn’t be a gamble. It should be a step forward.
