AI Assistance
The AI Assistant allows you to create and edit complete workflows using natural language descriptions. The AI Assistant provides flexible workflow creation and modification capabilities through seamless interaction modes.
AI Assistant Modes
The AI Assistant operates in multiple seamless modes: Generate, Edit, and Chat. These modes are seamless and natural, you don't explicitly know which mode you're in. The AI Assistant automatically adapts based on what you currently have selected or how you've spoken to it.
Generate: Creates workflows from scratch on a blank canvas Edit: Modifies existing workflows and individual actions Chat: Provides conversational explanations and discussions about workflows
Creating a Workflow with AI Assistant
Getting Started
Create a new workflow to access the landing page.
In the prompt text box, you'll see a list of suggested prompt templates above it:
These templates are backed by data
Select any template to input it into your prompt box
Click the refresh button on the right to see more suggestions (displays three at a time)
Alternatively, you can access the full template library (see template documentation for details)
Type your workflow description in the text box:
Be specific about integrations and values you want passed through
Structure your text well, keep it short and concise rather than large copy-paste blocks
The more detailed and specific you are, the better results you'll get
Click the submit button (arrow up button in a circle) to submit your prompt.
Generation Process
The canvas opens and you'll see the AI Assistant working in the bottom left corner.
Your original prompt appears first.
Below that, you'll see "Lleverage loading" followed by real-time updates.
Important: The response messages from the AI Assistant have different UI styling compared to the actions it's taking. This visual distinction helps you understand what's being processed:
AI Assistant messages appear in one UI style
Actions taken appear in a different UI style
When complete, the message will indicate completion and guide you to the next steps.
Working with AI Assistant
Conversational Workflow Interaction
You can chat with your workflow beyond just editing:
Ask questions like "What is this workflow about?"
The AI Assistant will have conversations about your workflow and explain its functionality
Editing the Entire Workflow
Use the text box in the bottom left corner to describe changes you want to make.
Submit your editing instructions using the submit button.
The AI Assistant will modify the entire canvas as needed.
Editing Specific Actions (Context-Based Editing)
Select a node: Click on the specific action/node you want to modify.
Context indicator: You'll see in the bottom left corner of the text box that you've selected that particular node.
Give simple instructions: Instead of providing node IDs or technical details, you can simply say:
"Simplify"
"Fill it out"
"Fix it"
Whole canvas editing with context: The AI Assistant doesn't just edit the individual node, it edits the whole canvas but uses your selected node as context.
Important: When the AI Assistant changes a particular action, it may have ripple effects throughout the rest of the workflow. This is intentional and ensures your workflow remains functional.
AI Assistant Capabilities and Limitations
What the AI Assistant Can Do
Generate complete workflows from natural language descriptions
Edit and modify existing workflows
Handle input error messages and provide advice
Make changes that affect multiple connected nodes
Provide conversational explanations about your workflow
Use context from selected nodes to make targeted improvements
Authentication Limitations
Cannot handle authentication: The AI Assistant won't fill out authentication details for you
Manual authentication required: You'll need to complete authentication steps manually
Post-authentication setup: Some integration nodes may ask for additional context after authentication
Useful workflow: After authenticating manually, you can return to the AI Assistant and say "I've just authenticated it. Can you do this?" for further configuration
Tips for Best Results
💡 Be Specific: Include details about integrations, data processing, and specific values you want handled.
💡 Structure Well: Keep prompts concise and well-organized rather than copying large blocks of text.
💡 Use Context: Click on specific nodes before giving editing instructions to provide context.
💡 Understand Ripple Effects: Changes to one action may affect connected parts of your workflow.
💡 Post-Authentication Workflow: After manual authentication, return to the AI Assistant for additional configuration help.
💡 Visual Distinction: Pay attention to the different UI styles for AI messages versus actions taken.
