Make

No-code automation through scenarios, with AI agents, on credits.

The real differences

What Forgeron3 changes.

A request, not a scenario to wire up You tell the assistant what you expect from your email or calendar. No modules to chain, no credits to watch per action.

Video meeting notes included Your video meetings become notes the assistant can use, from the Free plan.

Data hosted in France The platform runs in Strasbourg and Gravelines, and your documents are not used to train any model.

01 In short

Two approaches, one need.

Make, based in Prague and part of the Celonis group, is a no-code automation platform. You design scenarios: a trigger, then modules that read, transform and write data across more than 3,500 apps. Marketing teams like it for linking forms, CRMs, spreadsheets and social media. AI agents, still in beta, can be added as a step in a scenario.

Forgeron3 takes a different approach: an assistant understands a request written in plain language, works on your email, calendar, meetings and documents, and runs scheduled routines. Make suits wiring precise flows between software, module by module. Forgeron3 suits you when you want to delegate a task without building the circuit yourself.

05 What Make does well

Its strengths.

Make connects more than 3,500 apps, and its visual editor shows each step of a flow, with routers, filters and error handling. Scenarios can run every minute on paid offers, and users are unlimited on all offers. Make provides both an MCP server and an MCP client, and its Maia assistant helps you build a scenario through conversation. The entry price is also low: $21 per month on Pro for the whole organisation, with 10,000 credits.

What changes for an SME

With Make, each need becomes a scenario to design: choose the trigger, chain the modules, plan for errors, then watch credit consumption, since each action uses at least one and scenarios stop when credits run out. With Forgeron3, you write your request to the assistant, and schedule a routine if it needs to recur every week.

Make offers data zones in Europe, but its help page states that Maia, web search and its AI provider’s OpenAI models send requests to the United States, whatever zone you choose. Forgeron3 hosts its platform in France, in Strasbourg and Gravelines. Video meeting notes are included from the Free plan.
