Tray iPaaS / Merlin Agent Builder

Build AI agents that act, not just chat.

Merlin Agent Builder provides no-code agent development. Create production-ready agents from knowledge sources, tools, and reasoning — with guardrails, audit, and human-in-the-loop baked in from day one.

What it does.

Visual, no-code builder

A guided, visual experience for creating agents — knowledge, tools, reasoning, human-in-the-loop. Drop in code where you need it.

Multi-agent orchestration

Build agents that work together — a master agent coordinating sub-agents per department, each with their own tools and context.

Guardrails & audit

Every tool call logged. Per-user access control. Approval workflows for sensitive actions. PII protection.

Smart Data Sources

Ingest, partition, chunk, and embed automatically. Agents always get fresh, relevant context.

Multi-channel deployment

Ship the same agent to Slack, Teams, a chatbot, or an API. One build, many surfaces.

700+ app connections

Build tools that connect to any app in your stack for any action. Salesforce, Workday, Snowflake, Jira, and 700+ more.

Weeks not months, to build production agents

“The Agent Hub allows us to flexibly leverage Smart Data Sources and tools across sub-agents. This composable approach allows us to build agents in a matter of weeks, versus the months it would take by just building single-purpose agents.”

Matt Currie
Senior Automation Engineer, Life360

Why is Merlin Agent Builder different?

Built different. By design.

No LLM lock-in

Every major LLM is pluggable. Swap models as the landscape evolves without rebuilding your agents.

Build any tool you want

Create custom tools for any action, API, or workflow — not just what a vendor pre-packaged for you.

Action-first, not chat-first

Agents that take real actions in your systems — not just answer questions. Unlock accounts, provision software, close tickets.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AI agent builder? +

An AI agent builder is a platform for creating autonomous software agents — programs that use AI reasoning to plan, make decisions, and take actions in your systems without step-by-step instructions for every scenario. Unlike traditional automation, which follows fixed rules, agents reason about a goal and choose the right tools and sequence to achieve it. Merlin Agent Builder is Tray.ai's no-code platform for building, deploying, and governing these agents in enterprise environments.

How is an AI agent different from workflow automation? +

Workflow automation follows a fixed sequence of steps — if A happens, do B, then C. AI agents reason about a goal and decide which steps to take, in what order, based on context. That means agents handle situations that weren't explicitly programmed. Merlin Agent Builder combines both: agents that reason, plus Tray.ai's 700+ connector library for reliable action on any system of record.

Is this no-code or low-code? +

Both. The visual builder covers most patterns. Custom code steps are available anywhere you need them.

How does it compare to LangChain or CrewAI? +

Those are open-source frameworks — powerful but unmanaged. Merlin Agent Builder gives you the same expressive power with enterprise governance, observability, and audit trails built in. You don't ship a LangChain stack to prod; you ship with Merlin Agent Builder.

How does it compare to n8n? +

n8n is a workflow tool that's added AI steps — it's not built for agents. You get no guided agent builder, no multi-agent orchestration, no Smart Data Sources, and no enterprise governance. You're also self-hosting and maintaining it. Merlin Agent Builder is purpose-built for production agents: governed, composable, and no-code where you want it. See the full comparison at /compare/tray-vs-n8n.

What about context? Agents need real data. +

Merlin Agent Builder connects to Tray.ai's 700+ connector library directly. Agents can query Salesforce, read docs in Notion, pull metrics from Snowflake — governed through the same RBAC as every other integration.
