Make.com introduced two powerful updates last month that are already creating a buzz in the world of workflow automation: Make AI Content Extractor and Make Grid. Both tools have been designed to simplify processes, reduce manual work, and make automation smarter and more scalable. Whether you're handling documents, images, audio files, or hundreds of automation scenarios, these tools can make a huge difference in how your business operates.
Let’s explore these two new releases in detail and understand how they can help you automate faster, work smarter, and scale better.
Automation always faces its major hurdle as work with unstructured files. PDFs, scanned images, voice notes, and screenshots often contain useful data, but getting that data in a usable format is time-consuming. Most companies end up using multiple tools to extract, clean, and structure data before it can be used in workflows.
Make AI Content Extractor solves this problem.
Make.com, the integration platform in June released its new innovative product the “AI Content Extractor”. This provides summarized data within the “scenario” from images, PDFs, and audio files. That means you don’t need third-party tools, external APIs, or extra steps. With this one tool, you can turn unstructured files into clean, usable data – all without any glue code or manual mapping.
In traditional workflows, extracting data from documents usually involves:
Make AI Content Extractor does all of this in one step.
It helps you avoid:
You simply upload or reference a file, and the tool returns a clean, structured result that you can plug into any part of your automation workflow.
Here’s how to get started:
Parse resumes into structured fields for HR systems.
It helps teams avoid unreliable APIs, manual cleanup, and unstable file formats.
The biggest advantage? It works inside Make, so you can instantly connect the output with logic branches, AI tools, or any app – all without switching platforms.
Another big release is Make Grid. It's a new feature which is specifically designed to visualize the roadmap of any automation scenario. It shows how all your scenarios interact, where your data flows, and how automation is structured across your business.
An intelligent orchestration tool that seamlessly visualizes all your Make.com scenarios in one centralized view. Whether you have 10 or 500 automations, Make Grid helps you see:
In real-time it's a dashboard that leverages it easier to handle, troubleshoot, and scale for the automation system.
Most companies face these issues while scaling automation:
Make Grid solves all of this with Search and filters to find scenarios by owner, app, or error level. It empowers more people in your company to build and manage automation without fear of breaking existing systems.
A climate research group, CMCC had fragmented and mostly manual workflows. With Make Grid, they could visualize all their scenarios and improve efficiency by 50%, giving them more time for research and outreach.
Wemolo runs 500+ Make scenarios daily. Every small organizational change (like renaming a team) previously disrupted their workflows. With Make Grid, they can see dependencies, test changes, and manage seven times more projects confidently.
After rapid adoption of Make, ChargeGuru had 20+ internal contributors automating different tasks. But when a Salesforce policy changed, dozens of scenarios broke. Make Grid helped them trace and fix issues quickly, reducing downtime. Now, nearly half of the company (about 100 employees) actively uses Make.
ARETI had built hundreds of automations but struggled to communicate their value to clients. With Make Grid, they now showcase a real-time map of their backend logic, impressing clients and adding $100,000+ in revenue within two months.
Make Grid is more than a dashboard – it’s a way to control, scale, and communicate automation effectively.
The two new tools from Make.com – Make AI Content Extractor and Make Grid – are game-changers in automation.
First delivers unstructured data into info from files into meaningful, structured, ready to use outputs with automation. It replaces complex, multi-tool setups with a single native module.
Second gives you a bird’s-eye view of your workflows and helps your team manage changes, fix issues, and scale smoothly.
Together, these tools make it easier than ever to build intelligent, scalable workflows.
Whether you’re just starting out with automation or managing hundreds of scenarios, these new releases give you the control, visibility, and speed you need.
