I read your entire post, and couldn't understand what you do.
After watching the video, I think you make it easy for SaaS creators to give their customers the ability to integrate with other SaaS/API products. Is that right?
So e.g. if I make a SaaS tool for plumbers, and some of those plumbers use Xero for accounting, then I could use Nango to allow those plumbers to set up some data flow between my SaaS and Xero. Right?
im also not clear/sold on the value proposition or perhaps im misunderstanding things but
How does Nango differ from existing solutions? Seems like everybody is working on on programmatic "Zapier" (if thats what this is?) with OpenAI wrapper thrown over it.
Yeah so idea is you can easily integrate with lots of bookkeeping software with just one api. A zapier integration is often also not ideal or existing and a pain to set up for users
I think there will always be a use case for Zapier to cover the very long tail of integrations.
But we want to make it easier for engineers to offer their customers the native integrations they need.
Usually, these cover the most important and most valuable use cases. But they are often also the most complex to build (e.g. reliable 2-way data syncs)

This is a better description of your product than what you wrote in your original post. Maybe worth iterating to see what resonates with your target audience.
e.g. reliable 2-way data syncs
I'm curious about this. Can you give a real-life example of a 2-way data sync you or your users have set up?

Sure:
- A support SaaS uses Nango to sync contacts & companies with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.)
- A billing SaaS uses Nango to sync invoices, customers, etc. with accounting systems (Quickbooks, Netsuite, etc.)
- A security-focused SaaS uses Nango to create issues in Jira, Linear, etc., and then syncs the status & other properties between these apps and its own product
If Zapier is your mental model, the use case there is trigger/action workflows which is a different from 2-way sync which I'd say Nango does well. For the former you might want to check out this open-source project I work on: https://github.com/RolloutHQ/rollout
