Zapia

Zapia is a personal AI assistant that connects to your email, calendar and chats to keep an eye on deadlines and get tasks done, built for everyday people in Latin America who want help in their own language. The startup behind it, founded between Silicon Valley and Uruguay and backed by investors including Prosus Ventures, designs for users who may never have touched a chatbot. You ask in plain words, by text or voice note, and Zapia does the work and asks you to confirm before it acts.

What is Zapia used for?

Zapia covers work, small business, school, money and travel tasks from one conversation. Its main difference from a basic chatbot is that it monitors your connected accounts and alerts you, instead of waiting for you to ask.

• Summarizing today's email and listing only the threads that still need your reply
• Drafting replies in your inbox and following up on unanswered messages with a recap
• Rearranging your afternoon when a meeting moves and reminding you of deadlines
• Reviewing a contract before you sign or summarizing a supplier invoice in a few lines
• Finding job openings that fit your profile, tailoring your resume and preparing interview answers
• Running scheduled tasks, such as a morning briefing, on a repeating basis

Who Zapia is best for

Zapia fits small business owners, freelancers, students and office workers across Latin America who want an assistant in Spanish or Portuguese that understands local context. It is a good first assistant for people who find tools like Zapier or complex agent builders intimidating. Large companies that need admin controls and enterprise compliance, and people who do not use Google or Microsoft accounts, will get less from it.

Zapia pricing

As of October 2026 Zapia offers three plans. Free costs US$0 per month, and the company stresses it is not a trial: you can connect your apps, keep up to 20 scheduled tasks and generate images with a watermark. Pro costs US$9.99 per month and adds the best models, higher limits, images without watermarks and priority support, with a 7-day free trial. Ultra costs US$99.99 per month for people who delegate heavily and need higher usage limits. Prices are shown in US dollars on the plans page and may be billed in local currency.

Limitations to keep in mind

• Giving an assistant access to your inbox and calendar requires trust; Zapia says it does not train models on your data by default
• Free plan images are watermarked and limits are lower than Pro
• Integrations center on Google, Microsoft and Slack, so other tools may not connect
• The product and marketing are tuned for Latin America, which may matter less to users elsewhere

Zapia vs alternatives

OpenClaw is an open-source personal assistant you host yourself and connect to messaging apps, a better fit for technical users who want full control. Lindy is better if you want to design many custom agents for business workflows with more control. ChatGPT is stronger as a general research and writing tool but does not watch your inbox or alert you on its own. Meta AI is free inside WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger but cannot act on your email or calendar. Zapia wins for Spanish and Portuguese speakers who want a low-cost assistant that actually takes tasks off their plate.

Tips for getting started with Zapia

Connect your main email and calendar on day one, since monitoring and alerts depend on them. Start with a single scheduled task, like a morning summary of messages that need a reply, and add more once it works the way you like. Send voice notes when typing is slow; Zapia handles them as normal requests.
