Welcome to Loopi

Loopi is the open-source, local-first automation platform that combines a visual builder, real browser control, AI agents, and 80+ API integrations — all running locally on your machine.

What is Loopi?

Loopi provides a visual node-based editor for building automations that can:

• Browse the web — navigate, click, type, extract data, upload files, take screenshots
• Connect to 80+ services — Slack, Discord, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, Postgres, SendGrid, and more
• Use AI models — OpenAI, Anthropic, or local Ollama (Llama, Mistral, Gemma) for agentic workflows
• Transform data — JSON parse, math, string ops, array filter/map, dates, and inline code execution
• Use typed variables — auto-detected types with dot notation and array indexing
• Branch and loop — conditional logic with if/else and forEach iteration
• Store credentials — encrypted storage (AES-256-CBC) for API keys, tokens, and auth
• Schedule runs — interval, cron expressions, or one-time execution

Quick Links

AI-Powered Automation

Connect local or cloud LLMs to your workflows. Build agents that think and act.

Cloud AI

• OpenAI — GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, and other models
• Anthropic — Claude models for reasoning and content generation

Local AI (Ollama)

• Llama, Mistral, Gemma, Phi — run locally, 100% private
• No API keys needed, no data leaves your machine
• Perfect for sensitive workflows and offline use

AI Copilot

• Auto-generate workflows from natural language descriptions
• Explain what any workflow does
• Auto-fix common workflow errors

80+ Built-In Integrations

No plugins to install. All integrations are included:

Each integration supports credential selection via dropdown — store your API keys in Settings and select them when configuring steps.

Data Transforms

Built-in steps for transforming data between services:

• JSON Parse / Stringify — convert between strings and objects
• Math Operations — add, subtract, multiply, divide, round, floor, ceil, min, max, random
• String Operations — uppercase, lowercase, trim, replace, split, join, slice, includes, reverse
• Date/Time — now, format, parse, add, subtract, diff
• Filter Array — filter items by field conditions
• Map Array — extract or transform array items
• Code Execute — run custom JavaScript with access to all variables

All data transform steps support dot-notation variable paths like apiResponse.data and items[0].name.

Key Features

Visual Node-Based Editor

Build automations using a drag-and-drop interface powered by ReactFlow. No coding required.

Real Browser Control

Electron BrowserWindow + webContents automation. Real Chromium browser — navigate, click, type, extract, and screenshot in a window you can watch live.

Auto-Typed Variable System

Variables automatically detect types (number, boolean, object, array, string) and support full access syntax:

• Simple: {{username}}
• Nested: {{user.name}}
• Arrays: {{users[0]}}
• Mixed: {{users[0].profile.email}}
• Deep nesting: {{response.data[0].meta.created_at}}

Credentials Management

Encrypted storage (AES-256-CBC, PBKDF2 key derivation) for 80+ credential types. Select credentials from a dropdown when configuring integration steps.

Conditional Logic & Loops

• Browser conditionals — branch based on element existence or extracted values
• Variable conditionals — branch based on variable comparisons
• ForEach loops — iterate over arrays with loop and done edges

Scheduling

• Interval-based (every N minutes/hours)
• Cron expressions
• One-time execution
• Desktop notifications

Element Picker

Interactive point-and-click selector tool for reliable element targeting. No manual CSS selector typing needed.

Cross-Platform

Native installers for Windows and Linux. Built with Electron and Chromium.

How Loopi Is Different

• vs n8n: Real browser control and local AI — not just API orchestration
• vs Zapier/Make: Local-first with free local AI via Ollama — no cloud lock-in
• vs Playwright/Puppeteer: Visual builder with 80+ integrations and AI — no coding
• vs Selenium IDE: Typed variables, data transforms, AI, and API nodes built in
• vs RPA suites: Open-source, lightweight, free — no vendor lock-in
• vs AI agent frameworks: Visual builder — see your agents run in a real browser
