🔮 Our Analysis
Many tasks we do online can be automated. This is true of personal tasks like tracking workouts, and business tasks like automating department-wide reminders. Additionally, online tools are growing in complexity and number, creating the need for tools to help bridge the data silos in-between. Currently, automation is difficult for non-developers. Individuals miss out, and businesses wait for developer teams. Bardeen’s no-code software allows everyone to build automations, bringing automation to the masses. Anecdotally, many people are looking for tools like this, which is also indicated by the success of companies like Zapier. Long term, Bardeen aims to detect and suggest automations based on patterns in user activity. As this feature presumably depends on AI and current user data, Bardeen is now building a defensible data moat. This will enable incredible productivity gains and put Bardeen in a strong position compared with competitors. Best of all, as the founder points out, automation startups tend to benefit from downturns as people try to cut costs and increase efficiency.
