What Rulebricks does
Many workflow builders and automation tools have support for adding logic to your processes, but get complicated quick - to the point where process owners are unable to edit them directly and require specialist services. Rulebricks separates decision-making logic from your workflows, giving your team a clear visual, spreadsheet-like interface to manage the changing rules that drive your business, and use those rules as API endpoints, visual forms, and in automation tools like Zapier.

Company
Rulebricks
Add decision logic to any workflow
We built Rulebricks to separate decision-making rules from workflows. It offers a spreadsheet-like interface for non-engineers to manage logic that powers automated processes. Teams use Rulebricks to update business rules without code, linking those rules to APIs, forms, and tools like Zapier to avoid brittle, hidden logic inside workflow tools.
We live in San Francisco and Los Altos, and plan to base the company in San Francisco after YC.
Our decision to be based in San Francisco reflects our connections to enterprise software and the developer community here, plus access to YC resources and customers.
