Zapier AI Benchmark: How to choose the right AI model for your agents and workflows

Description

Every new model release brings up the same question: should I switch? Underneath that question are important ones like, for which workflows? Agents? And is the latest model actually worth it if I'm going to burn through more tokens? Most teams are stuck guessing—or burning tokens on frontier models for work a cheaper one handles fine. AutomationBench is how Zapier can definitively answer those questions. It's the execution benchmark frontier labs, like Anthropic, cite in their model system cards—measuring whether models can complete hard, real business workflows. AutomationBench evaluates models across six business domains (Sales, Marketing, Operations, Support, Finance, and HR), selected based on the most common use-case patterns across the 3.7M companies and 2B monthly tasks Zapier sees. Join technical leaders from Zapier for a live session on how to pick the right model for different roles and workflows, featuring: – Side-by-side output comparisons across frontier providers on the same business tasks – Cost-conscious routing: where you need premium models vs where you're wasting budget – Practical re-evaluation patterns when dot releases ship—so you're testing impact, not vibes – AutomationBench results as proof: how Zapier (and labs like Anthropic) measure execution on hard workflows You’ll walk away with a better understanding on when to use Fable 5, Opus 4.8, ChatGPT 5.5, or Gemini 3.5 Flash. If you’re a head of AI, an innovation or IT leader, or a builder running agents at your organization – this webinar is for you.
