Platform / 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
“Tray allows us to ingest data through Smart Data Sources and share 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.”

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.

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.
One platform
Built as one. Not stitched together.
Every capability runs on the same connector library, governance layer, and data model — designed together from day one.
