Barndoor.ai has officially introduced Venn.ai, a new platform designed to securely connect popular AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude with everyday business applications. With Venn.ai, organizations can now give AI agents controlled, permission-based access to platforms like Salesforce, Jira, Google, and Notion, among others.
As AI adoption accelerates in both personal and workplace environments, most users still rely primarily on conversational AI. However, the real work happens inside CRMs, productivity suites, and communication platforms. Although some integrations exist, they often provide limited or read-only functionality. Consequently, teams struggle to automate meaningful workflows.
Venn.ai addresses these limitations by offering broader application coverage and action-oriented integrations. Instead of simply reading data, the platform allows AI agents to update records, send messages, search across multiple sources, and execute workflows across connected applications. In doing so, Venn.ai moves beyond shallow integrations and empowers users to automate real operational tasks.
Moreover, unlike standalone AI platforms that require users to shift into proprietary environments, Venn.ai operates directly within the AI tools people already use. Therefore, users avoid learning a new interface and eliminate concerns about outdated AI models. Additionally, organizations do not need to pay extra subscription fees on top of existing AI licenses.
Since launching in early access, professionals across industries have already deployed Venn.ai to automate complex, cross-platform workflows:
A customer success manager connected Salesforce, Zendesk, Google Docs, Google Slides, and Slack to generate health summaries and dashboards automatically.
A startup executive linked Google Sheets and Salesforce to retrieve company interactions and outline next steps.
A product manager integrated Intercom, Gmail, Jira, and Notion to categorize weekly feedback and create structured sprint tickets.
A finance manager combined Xero, Google Sheets, and Google Slides to automate monthly reporting and presentation creation.
A marketing manager used Salesforce and Slack to summarize campaign leads directly into team channels.
Even personal subscription audits became streamlined by linking Gmail and Google Sheets to track recurring expenses.
While automation offers tremendous potential, it also introduces risk if left unchecked. Oren Michels, co-founder and CEO of Barndoor, emphasized the importance of responsible AI deployment:
"People want AI to do things across the apps they use everyday, but without proper controls, that's risky. Venn.ai gives everyone, not just engineering and IT teams, the ability to use agentic AI safely. We're putting security controls directly into users' hands."
To ensure safe adoption, Venn.ai includes built-in guardrails. Notably, its “write functionality” pauses before executing actions, allowing users to review and approve changes. This feature ensures that AI agents operate under human supervision and within predefined permissions.
Ultimately, Venn.ai enables marketing, sales, finance, HR, operations, and customer support teams to experiment with agentic workflows confidently. By combining action-oriented integrations with strong security controls, Barndoor positions Venn.ai as both the easiest and safest way to connect AI tools to business applications.
As businesses seek to unlock real productivity gains from AI, platforms like Venn.ai may play a pivotal role in turning conversational intelligence into operational impact.
