Alter, a company co-founded by Olivier Legris, is transforming how users interact with AI on MacOS by integrating intelligent agents with popular tools like Gmail, Notion, and Discord to enhance productivity. The startup faced challenges in quickly building and maintaining numerous integrations due to limited resources, leading them to adopt Pipedream Connect’s MCP Server. This decision allowed Alter to access over 2,000 applications without bespoke coding, enabling AI agents to perform tasks like fetching analytics and sending emails effortlessly. Pipedream’s solution not only reduced engineering time but also became a key factor in converting free users to paid plans, as integrations evolved from a mere feature to a core experience. By leveraging Pipedream, Alter could focus on innovation rather than infrastructure, building new workflows rapidly and gaining a competitive edge while their competitors struggle to replicate such seamless integration.
