AI Automation & Agents  

πŸ€– Building a Personal AI Agent with Zapier Webhooks and Vercel β€” Automate Emails, Calendar Events & Web Tasks Instantly

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹ I’m Siddhant Mohan Jha, and this is my 2nd project β€” a Personal AI Agent built using Zapier webhooks and integrated with multiple online tools like Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Search, and Website Automation.

This AI agent works entirely through natural prompts β€” I simply type a command, and it automatically understands what action to take. Whether it’s sending an email, scheduling a meeting, performing a quick Google search, or opening a specific website, it executes everything instantly without manual effort.

🧭 Project Overview

This project serves as my personal digital assistant β€” an AI-powered agent that connects with multiple apps through Zapier’s webhook automation. It acts like an intelligent backend system where each action is predefined, triggered, and executed automatically.

Whenever I give a command, the AI agent decides which tool to use, and Zapier handles the backend actions β€” from sending emails to adding calendar events.

This setup allows me to manage daily digital tasks quickly, saving time and effort through smart automation.

βš™οΈ How the System Works

Here’s the workflow of how my personal AI agent operates:

  1. I type a prompt or command into the web interface (e.g., β€œSend an email to John about tomorrow’s meeting”).

  2. The AI agent analyzes the command and determines which tool to use β€” like Gmail, Google Calendar, or Google Search.

  3. It then triggers the correct Zapier Webhook, which executes the required predefined action.

  4. Each action is automated on the backend β€” whether it’s sending mail, creating events, or fetching search results.

  5. The results or confirmation are displayed instantly to me, completing the task within seconds.

Everything runs without writing any backend code β€” Zapier handles the automation logic, triggers, and actions.
