Overview
Membrane is an AI-powered integration layer for your product.
It's designed so your product can integrate with anything today — and automatically add new integrations when you or your customers need them in the future.
Membrane handles:
- Connecting to external apps.
- Running and troubleshooting integration logic.
- Automatically expanding your integration capabilities over time.
Getting Started
Getting started with Membrane is about connecting your product to external apps.
Once an external app is connected, your product can start interacting with it on behalf of your customers.
Membrane starts with thousands of supported apps and automatically adds new integrations when you or your customers need them. Connecting your first app proves the integration layer works — you can extend it later without changing your setup.
Building Integration Experiences
Once your product is connected to an external app, the next step is deciding what your product does with that connection. The answers typically fall in one or more of the following categories:
Predefined Integration Scenarios You define the integration logic, your customers enable and configure it. Best for products with specific, well-defined integration use cases like syncing contacts to a CRM or importing data from a spreadsheet.
AI Agents Let your AI agent interact with any external app using pre-built or dynamically generated tools. Best for AI-powered products that need to take actions in external apps based on user requests or agent decisions.
In-app Workflow Builder Let your customers build their own automation workflows between your app and external apps. Best for products where customers need flexibility to create custom integrations without your involvement.
Understanding Membrane
Behind the scenes, Membrane is built around a small set of core components that make it possible to integrate your product with any external app.
