How to Use Make.com AI Tools (Open Beta Guide)
The new AI tools in make.com are available in open beta and let you build smarter, faster automations without leaving your scenarios. This step-by-step guide explains how to access the beta, enable the tools, and start using AI directly inside your make.com workspace.
The instructions below are based on the official announcement and are designed to help you get productive quickly while staying within the current limitations of the beta.
What Are the New Make.com AI Tools?
The open beta introduces built-in AI capabilities you can use directly in your make.com scenarios. These tools are designed to help you:
- Generate or transform text
- Summarize long content
- Extract structured data
- Draft content for emails, messages, or documents
Because the AI features are integrated into the scenario editor, you can combine them with any other apps and modules you already use in make.com.
Important Notes About the Make.com AI Open Beta
Before turning on AI tools in make.com, review these key points from the beta release:
- Beta status: Features may change, break, or be removed. Expect rapid updates.
- Limited availability: Access can be gradually rolled out, and some workspaces may receive the feature later than others.
- Usage limits: There may be temporary caps on how often you can call the AI in a given period.
- Data handling: Content you send to AI tools is processed to generate responses. Avoid sending sensitive data unless your organization allows it.
Always refer to the official help article at Make AI tools now available in open beta for the latest details, limits, and policy notes.
How to Access AI Tools in Make.com
If your organization is eligible for the open beta, the AI features appear directly in your make.com account. Follow these steps to confirm and start using them.
Step 1: Sign in to Your Make.com Account
- Open your browser and go to the make.com login page.
- Sign in with your existing credentials.
- Select the organization and workspace where you want to test the AI tools.
AI features are enabled per organization or workspace according to the beta rollout. If you do not see them in one workspace, switch to another and check again.
Step 2: Open or Create a Scenario in Make.com
- From the dashboard, click Scenarios.
- Choose an existing scenario to update, or click Create a new scenario.
- Open the scenario editor to access all modules and tools.
The AI tools live inside the same interface you already use to build automations in make.com, so you can add them to any scenario without changing your existing structure.
How to Enable Make.com AI Tools in a Scenario
Depending on your account, AI tools may be visible by default or may require enabling a beta switch or experimental features toggle. In general, the process looks like this:
- Open the scenario editor.
- Look for an AI label, icon, or dedicated category in the module picker.
- If prompted, accept beta terms or confirm you understand the limitations.
Once enabled, AI modules become available alongside all other modules and can be used like any other building blocks in make.com.
Using Make.com AI Modules in Your Workflows
The AI modules in make.com are designed to be flexible and work with many different data sources. Here is a typical pattern for using them.
Step 1: Choose a Trigger
Begin with a standard trigger that starts your automation, for example:
- New email received
- New row added to a spreadsheet
- New ticket created in a help desk system
- Form submitted on your website
This part of the scenario captures the data you want to send to the AI tools.
Step 2: Add a Make.com AI Module
- Click the plus icon in the scenario editor to add a new module.
- Select the AI tool category.
- Choose the specific AI module, such as content generation, summarization, or extraction.
The available modules depend on the current beta feature set, which can evolve as make.com updates the tools.
Step 3: Configure the AI Prompt and Inputs
Each AI module uses a prompt or instruction field. You can configure it as follows:
- Write a clear instruction describing what the AI should do (summarize, rewrite, extract, or generate).
- Map fields from previous modules (such as email body, notes, or descriptions) into the prompt or input body.
- Set any options offered by the module, such as output style or length, if available.
Because the AI is context-sensitive, the quality of the prompt you provide in make.com directly affects the quality of the output.
Step 4: Add Output Modules
After the AI module generates a result, use additional modules to store or send the output. Typical follow-up actions include:
- Send the AI-generated summary by email
- Save structured data to a spreadsheet or database
- Create a task with AI-generated details in your project tool
- Post a condensed message to chat or collaboration apps
This way, make.com lets you fully integrate AI-generated content into your existing processes.
Best Practices for Using Make.com AI in Beta
To get reliable results and avoid issues while the tools are in open beta, keep these practices in mind.
- Validate outputs: Always test your scenarios with sample data before using them in production.
- Use clear prompts: Provide explicit instructions, including desired tone, length, and format.
- Limit sensitive data: Avoid sending confidential or regulated information to the AI modules.
- Monitor usage: Keep an eye on any usage limits described in the official documentation.
- Iterate quickly: Because the tools are in beta, expect to refine your prompts and logic over time.
