## What it does

**Done-for-you service** · No — You buy and run the software yourself: self-serve plans, a visual builder the vendor says needs no developer, and only Enterprise adds consultant guidance.

> Can I build without a developer? Yes. Anyone comfortable thinking through a process — mapping steps, conditions, and outcomes — can build by prompting, dragging and dropping, or working from an AI chat.

## How much it does unattended

**Runs autonomously** · Yes — Agents run unattended inside scheduled or webhook-triggered scenarios, deciding their own steps from instructions and the tools you give them.

> An AI agent is an AI system that independently performs tasks for you based on your instructions.

**Multi-agent** · Yes — A parent agent can delegate to sub-agents as tools on every plan, but nesting stops at one level deep.

> Multi-agent workflows: Add as many sub-agents to the parent agent as needed to collaborate on complex tasks.

**Agent permissions** · Partly — You bound an agent by the tools, instructions and filtered outputs you grant it; the docs describe no per-action human approval gate.

> Tools connect agents to third-party services, such as email, database, and CRM systems, to allow them to perform specific tasks. In Make, tools are modules, scenarios, MCP server tools, and other agents.

**Claude** · Yes — Anthropic Claude models run through Make's own AI Provider on all plans, or through your own Claude connection on paid plans.
