Workato Launches Developer Sandbox to Empower AI Innovation and Accelerate Agentic App Development
In a bold move to democratize access to its cutting-edge platform, Workato®, the leader in agentic orchestration, has unveiled the Workato Developer Sandbox, a free self-service offering designed to empower developers with the tools they need to build, test, and launch AI-powered applications. This new initiative provides developers with unrestricted access to the full suite of capabilities within the Workato ONE platform, enabling them to innovate and experiment without the traditional barriers of enterprise onboarding.
The Developer Sandbox is tailored for both seasoned developers and citizen AI developers—the growing cohort of non-traditional creators who are leveraging AI to solve real-world problems. With this offering, Workato is making it easier than ever to bring agentic app ideas to life—whether for personal projects, startups, or enterprise experimentation.
“Everything we’ve built over the past decade—trusted by thousands of the world’s most sophisticated companies—is now available to developers for free,” said Adam Seligman, Chief Technology Officer at Workato. “The full platform. All the connectors. Agent Studio. Our remote MCP server. It’s all here. You can build something incredible today, and get it into the hands of your users tomorrow.”
