The Workflow Builder allows developers to create multi-step, logic-driven AI agents using a visual drag-and-drop interface.
It’s ideal for building complex agents, tool chains, or multi-agent orchestration—all without writing extensive code.
Go to the sidebar and click “Workflow”.
You will see two sections:
My Workflows – All workflows you have created.
Workflow Templates – Ready-made templates to accelerate development.
From here, you can create a new workflow from scratch or use a template to customize it for your scenario.
Node – A modular step in your workflow, such as a prompt call or API request.
Connection – A directional link that passes outputs from one node to the next.
Variable – A data placeholder for passing user input, intermediate results, or API responses between nodes.
Preview – The built-in testing area where you can simulate inputs and debug outputs in real time.
Click “Create Workflow”.
Enter a name and description for your workflow.
Drag and drop nodes from the Node Library onto the canvas. Common node types include:
Prompt Node – Send instructions to an LLM and get responses.
Model API Node – Call models like GPT-4o, Claude, DeepSeek, or Qwen.
Condition Node – Branch logic based on input or results (if/else).
API Node – Connect to external services or databases.
MCP/Tool Node – Use modular compute services like web search or blockchain tools.
Connect nodes with arrows to define execution flow.
Assign variables to pass data between nodes.
Use the Preview panel to test step by step.
Templates are pre-built workflows for common tasks that save time and demonstrate best practices.
Example Templates:
Twitter Thread Generator – Turn structured ideas into a social media thread.
Document Q&A – Answer questions based on an uploaded PDF or knowledge base.
Travel Planner – Generate personalized itineraries for users.
Prompt Chaining – Multi-step reasoning using sequential prompt calls.
Image Sentiment Classifier – Categorize images as positive, neutral, or negative.
How to Use Templates:
Browse the Workflow Templates page.
Click a template to preview its structure and logic.
Click “Use Template” to copy it to your workspace.
Customize nodes, prompts, and connections to fit your use case.
Click “Preview” to test the workflow with sample input.
Observe outputs at each node to verify correct execution.
Adjust logic or nodes if you encounter unexpected results.
Save – Keeps your workflow as a draft for further editing.
Publish as an Agent – Convert your workflow into a live agent that can be submitted for review and listed on ChainOpera AI Terminal.
Publishing requires that your agent has all required fields completed (icon, name, category, short & full description, intent).
Keep workflows modular: Break large processes into smaller or reusable flows.
Use clear variable names to track data flow.
Minimize unnecessary branching to keep workflows maintainable.
Test iteratively to catch logic errors early.
