Getting Started

The fastest way in is to run one of the built-in workflows. That takes about a minute and needs no setup.

What is Flowys?

Flowys automates jobs that begin with reading something and deciding what to do about it. You lay the job out as a series of steps, like a flowchart, and any step can hand its work to an AI. Each step passes its result to the next one.

So you can, for example:

  • Turn a rambling customer email into a tidy ticket and a draft reply
  • Pull the decisions and action items out of a meeting transcript
  • Read a spreadsheet of reviews and say what to fix first
  • Score an incoming enquiry and draft the reply either way

Start with a ready-made workflow

Six complete workflows ship with the app. Each is a whole job rather than a demo, between ten and fifteen steps, and every one runs without connecting any accounts.

1

Pick one from the gallery

On an empty canvas, choose Start from a template. Pick the one closest to your job and it lands on the canvas with every step already filled in.

Start from a template, then pick one
2

Press Run and answer the questions

Flowys asks for what it needs in plain words, paste the email, upload the transcript. Nothing asks you to write code or fill in a technical format.

Run, fill in the boxes, Run workflow

Read the result

Each step turns green as it finishes, and the result appears as readable text with headings and bullet points. Click any step to see exactly what it produced.

Every step shows what it produced

Change anything you like

A template is a starting point, not a locked recipe. Reword an instruction, add a step, or delete one. Save it when it does what you want.

Or build one yourself

1

Drag a step onto the canvas

The row of buttons along the bottom is your palette. Drag one onto the canvas to add it. Most workflows begin with an Input step, which is where you ask for whatever the workflow needs.

Join the steps up

Drag from the small dot on the right of one step to the dot on the left of the next. That connection is how the first step's result reaches the second.

Set each step up

Click a step to open its settings. To use a value from an earlier step, press Use a value from an earlier step and choose it from the list, you never type its name by hand.

Values from earlier steps come from a list

Try one step on its own

Any step has a Test tab. It asks for the values that step needs, runs just that step, and shows you what came back, so you can get one part right before running the lot.

Open a step, choose Test, then Run test

Helpful Tips

Test one step at a time

Faster than running everything. Get one step producing what you want, then move to the next.

Read the failure message

If a step fails, Flowys names the step and says what to do about it, a wrong key, too many requests, a missing value.

Ask Flux to build it

The button in the bottom corner opens the assistant. Describe the job in a sentence and it lays the steps out for you.

Put it on a schedule

Once a workflow does what you want, schedule it daily or weekly and it runs without you.
