Put AI reasoning inside a defined sequence

Build a workflow visually from app integrations, AI nodes, explicit rules and optional code. An AI Agent uses a connected chat model and at least one tool, while the surrounding workflow can validate or route its results.

This supports author operations such as collecting reference material or processing event requests, once the workflow is configured. The product exposes the sequence and its inputs rather than making every decision part of an open-ended conversation.

Run a published workflow on a schedule

The Schedule Trigger supports fixed times, intervals and cron schedules. A saved workflow must also be published for the schedule to run, and its timezone determines the intended timing.

A managed Cloud installation supplies the runtime; self-hosted work depends on the host remaining available. Both still need the model and app connections used by the workflow.

Hosting, execution budgets, and AI allowances

Approve a tool call and inspect what followed

Human checkpoints can be placed inside a workflow or before an AI Agent’s tools. Execution inspection shows the prompt, model response and subsequent steps, helping identify where a run departed from its intended result.

Use an assistant to build the automation

The Assistant preview can plan, build, run and fix workflows. Cloud Starter includes 1,600 monthly Assistant credits; Pro includes 4,000 or 9,600, depending on size. Enterprise preview access is by request; self-hosted Assistant uses your own key.

Choose managed hosting or maintain the installation

Cloud removes installation and infrastructure maintenance. The free self-hosted Community edition supplies most core features, with paid editions adding selected organization and deployment controls.

Budget for complete workflow runs

Cloud pricing counts an execution of the workflow, regardless of its number of steps. Starter is €20 per month with annual billing and 2,500 monthly executions; Pro starts at €50 with annual billing and 10,000 executions.

Assistant credits and model-provider costs have their own rules. Self-hosting adds infrastructure and maintenance to the budget even when the software edition is free.
