Question 1

What is Sprawl?

Accepted Answer

Sprawl is an AI-powered productivity agent that connects to 100+ apps and automates workflows through natural language. Instead of building complex automation flows manually, you describe what you want done in plain English, and Sprawl executes it across your connected tools.

Question 2

How does Sprawl work?

Accepted Answer

You type a request in natural language, like "Send a Slack summary of my unread emails every morning at 9am." Sprawl's AI understands your intent, connects to the relevant apps (Gmail and Slack in this case), and executes the multi-step workflow autonomously.

Question 3

What is conversational automation?

Accepted Answer

Conversational automation means you interact with your automation tool through natural language instead of visual flow builders or code. You tell Sprawl what you want in a chat interface, and it figures out the steps, connections, and logic to make it happen.

Question 4

Who is Sprawl for?

Accepted Answer

Sprawl is built for solo founders, freelancers, and non-technical operators who need to automate repetitive work but don't want to learn complex automation platforms. If you can describe what you want done, Sprawl can do it.

Question 5

How is Sprawl different from Zapier?

Accepted Answer

Zapier requires you to manually build automations by selecting triggers, actions, and mapping fields between apps. Sprawl lets you describe what you want in plain English, and the AI handles the configuration. Sprawl also supports multi-step reasoning across apps in a single request, while Zapier requires separate Zaps for each workflow.

Question 6

How is Sprawl different from Make?

Accepted Answer

Make (formerly Integromat) uses a visual flow builder where you drag and connect modules. Sprawl replaces that with a chat interface powered by AI. You don't need to understand data mapping, iterators, or error handling - you just describe your goal and Sprawl figures out the execution plan.

Question 7

How is Sprawl different from n8n?

Accepted Answer

n8n is a self-hosted, code-friendly automation platform designed for developers. Sprawl requires no technical knowledge, no self-hosting, and no flow building. It's a managed service where you chat with an AI agent that handles the automation logic for you.

Question 8

Can Sprawl replace a virtual assistant?

Accepted Answer

For repetitive digital tasks, yes. Sprawl can handle things like scheduling emails, syncing data between apps, generating reports, and managing tasks - all on autopilot. It works 24/7, never misses a step, and costs a fraction of a human VA. For tasks requiring judgment or physical presence, a human assistant is still the right choice.

Question 9

What apps does Sprawl integrate with?

Accepted Answer

Sprawl integrates with 100+ apps including Gmail, Slack, Notion, Linear, GitHub, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Calendly, Jira, Asana, Trello, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoom, Airtable, and many more. New integrations are added regularly.

Question 10

Does Sprawl work with Gmail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sprawl can read, send, and draft emails in Gmail. Common use cases include sending daily email digests, forwarding specific emails to Slack, saving important emails to Notion, and auto-responding to messages matching certain criteria.

Question 11

Does Sprawl work with Slack?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sprawl can send messages, read channels, and respond to Slack events. For example, you can ask Sprawl to post a daily standup summary to a channel, notify you when specific keywords appear, or sync Slack threads to your project management tool.

Question 12

Does Sprawl work with Notion?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sprawl can create pages, update databases, and query your Notion workspace. Popular automations include turning emails into Notion pages, syncing tasks from Linear or Asana into Notion databases, and generating weekly reports in Notion.

Question 13

Can I connect my CRM to Sprawl?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sprawl integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, and other CRM platforms. You can automate lead enrichment, sync contacts between tools, create follow-up tasks from CRM events, and generate pipeline reports - all through natural language commands.

Question 14

How much does Sprawl cost?

Accepted Answer

Sprawl offers a free 14-day trial with 50 credits (no credit card required), then two paid plans: Starter at $19/month with 500 credits and Pro at $49/month with 2,000 credits. Every tier includes access to all 100+ integrations; higher tiers include more credits and priority support.

Question 15

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sprawl offers a 14-day free trial with 50 credits — no credit card required. You get access to all integrations and features during the trial; the only limits are the credit allowance and the 14 days. After the trial, choose Starter or Pro to keep going.

Question 16

What are credits?

Accepted Answer

A credit measures the computing work Sprawl does in a run. A standard chat run costs about one credit; heavier runs like deep research or long multi-step automations cost more, and lighter runs cost less — metering is fractional, so a run only uses what it actually costs. Scheduled and event-triggered runs consume credits the same way. Paid-plan credits reset each monthly billing cycle, and you can top up any time with one-time credit packs (from $9.99 for 50 credits) in billing settings.

Question 17

Is my data safe with Sprawl?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sprawl uses industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest. Authentication is handled by Clerk, a trusted identity provider. Sprawl does not store the contents of your emails, messages, or documents - it only accesses data when executing a requested action.

Question 18

Can Sprawl access all my data?

Accepted Answer

No. Sprawl only accesses the specific apps you explicitly connect and only performs the actions you request. Each integration requires your explicit OAuth consent, and you can disconnect any app at any time from your connections settings.
