Remember IFTTT -- IF This Then That? We reviewed the service for the first time back in 2011 when it was created, and have followed it throughout the years. The service enables users to create automatic actions using products and services. From improving workflows, e.g. by automatically tweeting your Instagram photos or recording activity in a Google spreadsheet, to automatically turning on the lights at home at sunset or getting a daily weather report by email.

Now, the makers of IFTTT have announced the integration of three AI products for Pro+ users. IFTTT Pro+ is available for $5 per month. It lifts the applets limit, supports multiple connected accounts, developer tools, and is the only plan that offers access to the AI services.

IFTTT AI Services

The three services are called AI Social Creator, AI Content Creator, and AI Summarizer. Here is what each does:

  • AI Social Creator can generate text content automatically based on already created content. IFTTT suggests that users may use the feature to have AI create a tweet automatically using a new blog post, or publish LinkedIn updates based on new blog posts.  Recipes are available on the Social Creator recipes page.
  • AI Content Creator may help customers create content ideas. From generating an outline for a topic to drafting a blog post and tagging notes in Evernote for upcoming blog posts ideas. The list of recipes is available here.
  • AI Summarizer finally summaries content. It may be used to summarize RSS feed posts as soon as they are published, or to "generate action items, takeaways, and a summary from meeting notes", among other things. All recipes are available here.

IFTTT Pro+ customers may combine the AI services with almost all of the 800 services that IFTTT supports at the time.

IFTTT published an introductory video that highlights the new artificial intelligence services added today.

A support page confirms that the AI services have rate limits. The current rate limit is 200 queries per day, which is shared across all three AI services and reset automatically each day. Another support page reveals that IFTTT uses GPT-3 to power its AI services.

Closing Words

IFTTT improves its automation service with the integration of the three AI services. The 200 queries per day rate limit may get into the way of some customers. Currently, it appears that there is no option to buy additional queries.

      Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.

    The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
    https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/

    Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.

    With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.

      This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)

    With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.

    Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.

    The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.

    If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.

    And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
