| 0:00.0 | Zapier today is giving your favorite agent, ClaudeCodeCur, codex, you name it, access to every tool that you might use. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm going to show you how it's helping us at Zapier grow our business. |
| 0:11.0 | Can you help me generate a Sunday outreach email to the 10 outreach accounts? |
| 0:18.0 | Draft them in Gmail for me. So now it just goes and does this for me. |
| 0:23.0 | Great, let's just do it for your chair. |

| 1:39.0 | I have, like, written zero lines of production code in my entire life. |
