There are three ways to start a workflow: describe it with AI, build it by hand, or start from a template. However you begin, you end up on the same visual canvas where you fine-tune the steps.
Create with AI
Open Create with AI and describe what you want in plain language — the way you'd tell your digital human:
Your digital human asks whatever it needs to know, then draws the flow live on the canvas as you answer. When it's ready, review it and press Use this workflow. If the flow needs a tool you haven't connected, Brain shows "Connect it" with a link to Tool Studio.
You can also use AI to edit an existing flow — ask it to add, remove or change a step, or to explain how the flow works.
Start from a template
The Library offers ready-made workflows you can adapt — for example a daily email digest, blocking focus time on your calendar, or triaging new messages. Pick one and adjust the steps to your case.
Build by hand
On the canvas, press Add a step (or the + on the flow to insert one exactly where you want it) and pick a step type:
| Step | What it does |
|---|---|
| Use a tool | Read, send or update something through a connected tool. |
| Ask the digital human | Let a digital human write or decide something in its own voice. |
| Make a decision | Check something and take one of two paths — a Yes path or a No path. |
Select any step to open its settings on the right and configure it:
- Use a tool — pick which tool and which action (e.g. Gmail → search threads), then fill in the details.
- Ask the digital human — pick which human should handle it and write, in plain words, what they should do.
- Make a decision — choose what to check, how to compare it (equals, contains, greater than, is empty, and so on) and what to compare it to. The flow then continues down the Yes or No branch.
Use a result from an earlier step
Any field — a tool's details, an AI prompt, a decision's check — can reuse the result of a previous step. Tap Use info from a step and pick the step whose result you want to drop in. This is how data flows from one step to the next.
Save, activate and run
- The editor checks your flow as you go: "All checks pass" means it's ready, or it lists the issues to fix first (for example, a decision that's missing its No path).
- Press Save to store your changes.
- Toggle Active to turn the workflow on. Scheduled and webhook workflows only fire while they're Active; an inactive workflow never runs on its own.
- Press Run now at any time to test it — then open Monitor to watch the run.
Each workflow is owned by a digital human — pick which one when you create it. Its AI steps use that human's voice and memory, and its tool steps use that human's connections.
