Zencoder Launches Zenflow Work to Automate the ‘Other 75%’ of Team Tasks

The update pushes Zencoder’s AI beyond code to run goal-based workflows across common business apps.

Overview

  • Zencoder, which launched Zenflow Work Thursday, says it is available now as a free update with support for Anthropic, OpenAI and Google Gemini and plugins for VS Code and JetBrains.
  • New goal-driven automations handle multi-step work like standup briefs, release notes, stakeholder emails and meeting prep by pulling data from Jira, Linear, Notion, Gmail and Google Workspace.
  • Agents can run on schedules and pursue long-running goals such as moving a pull request through review to production without constant prompts, according to CEO Andrew Filev.
  • Users can start and monitor tasks in Slack or Telegram, with WhatsApp coming later, and agents add file preview and editing for Office formats plus a browser tool that reads pages and captures screenshots.
  • Zencoder says its multi-model routing pairs a strong planner with a cheaper implementer to cut cost per resolved task by roughly 60% or about 2.7x in internal tests, and it highlights SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001/42001 certifications for enterprise buyers.
