How e dey work

Workflow na sequence of steps wey follow each other

Na dat be di whole model, and e no suppose sweet. Something go start one run. Di run go waka through one list of steps. Some of di steps go think, most of dem no go think, and small number go wait. When di list finish, di run sef finish — and every decision wey e take don write am down.

1Describe amOne sentence about di work wey you wan make dem do.
2Dem build amLike two minutes later, one real workflow don show.
3Set am upConnect accounts, change di wording, move one wait.
4Simulate amDry-run one real record. Nothing go comot from di building.
5PublishVersion don pin. Live runs go keep di version wey dem enter with.
6Watch amOne log per run, per step, with di values wey decide am.

Most automation tools go tell you make you draw dat sequence before you even know wetin e be. Dem go give you blank canvas and list of four hundred integrations, and di first twenty minutes go go into remembering wetin dem dey call di thing wey you want sef.

castomFLOW turn am upside down. You write di sentence; di workflow come show wey don build already. Everything after dat na to edit something wey dey concrete, and dat one na different work from to invent something wey abstract.

Di three kain step

Deterministic steps dey fetch, transform, branch, wait, write and send. Di same input go give di same output, every time. Dem fast, dem no cost anything to run, and dem dull di way infrastructure suppose dull.

AI steps dey classify, draft, summarise and choose. Dem dey take structured input and return structured output, so model no go ever waka free pass di shape wey you define. Na dis steps you dey pay for, and di pricing dey there to make you dey careful with dem.

Flow steps no dey act on di outside world at all. Dem dey wait, branch based on condition, split traffic between two paths, hold one run until quiet-hours window close, or mark one goal as don reach and stop.

One single workflow fit move free between all three. Na di task go decide which parts go think.

  • 2Check addressDeterministic. Postal code match against reference data.
  • 3Raise invoiceDeterministic. Di fields come from di record; nobody type dem.
  • 4Write di noticeAI step. Two sentences, for di customer language, with your tone.
  • ?ConditionE don pass 21:00 local time? No. Quiet hours no dey inside.
  • 5Send amE-mail comot, delivery state track back onto di run.

Every process get im own shape. Nobody don ever draw your own before.

Wetin dis one no be

E no be general-purpose programming environment. If one task need real language, write am inside real language come call am from one step through HTTP — na supported answer and e dey make sense well well, e no be defeat.

E no be agent wey go decide by imsef wetin e go do next. Dem go call AI step for di point wey you choose, give am di input wey you choose, and constrain am to di shape wey you define. Di sequence na your own. Na deliberate limit, and na im make one run fit reproduce.

Di honest part: workflow wey dem don build for you inside two minutes na good draft, e no be finished product. E go get one wait wey you no agree with and wording wey you no go use. Twenty minutes of editing na normal, and na twenty minutes instead of afternoon because di shape don already dey there.
