: DryMerge, by Sam Brashears and Edward Frazer, simplifies app integrations using a chatbot interface. Unlike traditional tools like Zapier, it caters to non-technical users. Despite bugs, DryMerge shows potential and aims to expand its user base and capabilities with recent funding.

DryMerge, created by Sam Brashears and Edward Frazer, promises ease of use for non-technical users to automate tasks between various apps. The platform features a minimalist UI reminiscent of ChatGPT and supports integration with numerous apps including Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, and Slack.

Despite showing promise, early adopters have reported several bugs, such as chatbot non-responsiveness and misinterpreted requests. However, successful automations like copying posts from X to Discord have been achieved, demonstrating its potential utility.

Currently, the company has around 2,000 users and aims to grow its team and capabilities with a recent $2.2 million seed round. Sam and Edward plan to address current issues and believe that DryMerge can excel in the rapidly growing $2.7 billion iPaaS market by being significantly easier to use.
