How Lava is different

Lava can look similar to a few other tools at first glance. Here is how it is different.

Lava vs Claude plus connectors

Claude and similar assistants try to pull everything into one chat window. Lava does the opposite: it puts the agent inside the apps you already use, so you and the agent work the same screen together. And because Lava is model-agnostic, you are never locked into one company's AI.

Lava vs AI browsers

AI browsers drive a browser window by clicking and typing on the page, which is slow and can get blocked or flagged. Lava works through a faster, more reliable connection under the hood, so the work happens smoothly inside your apps.

Lava vs Zapier or n8n

Zapier and n8n make you the builder: you wire up steps, map fields, and maintain the plumbing. Lava already did the plumbing. You just log into your apps and tell the agent what to do in plain language. No flows to build.
