AI Flow Builder

platform v0.9.11verified 2026-05-14

The AI Flow Builder is an optional panel that sits on top of the Flow Designer. It lets you describe what the flow should do in natural language and applies the result to the canvas — useful when you want to draft a new flow from scratch, restructure several nodes at once, or convert a written brief into a concrete graph.

What it does

  • Drafts a flow from a written brief ("a German appointment-booking line that transfers to Office for high-value callers and hangs up on abuse").
  • Edits the current flow — add a fallback, rename an agent, attach a tool, add a webhook.
  • Migrates older flows — when launching from /apps/new with an existing legacy scenario, the panel can read the v1 definition and propose a v0.9.11 graph.
  • Iterates — every reply rebuilds the flow definition; you can undo from the version history or simply ask it to change one thing.

The panel writes the same JSON that the manual UI and source view produce, so a flow built by the AI is indistinguishable afterwards from one built by hand.

Workflow

  1. Open the panel from the toolbar (or it auto-opens for a freshly created app).
  2. Brief it — a paragraph or two describing the goal, channels, languages, key constraints. The model uses the team's variables, tools and providers as context.
  3. Review — the panel writes a draft definition; the canvas updates immediately.
  4. Iterate — ask follow-ups ("add an end node when the caller says they're done"), edit individual nodes manually, or both.
  5. Test — run a draft test call from the toolbar (see Draft and publish).
  6. Publish when satisfied.

When to drop into manual editing

The AI panel is good at the structure of a flow but it is still a layer on top. For precise tweaks the manual canvas and inspectors are faster:

  • Renaming a single transition.
  • Pinning a model or voice on a specific agent.
  • Wiring a complex condition with multiple decision rows.
  • Editing tool JSON-schemas.

You can switch back and forth — the AI panel re-reads the current definition every time it runs.

Privacy and providers

The AI Flow Builder runs against the same LLM provider configured by the platform admin. It does not have access to call recordings or production data — it only sees the current flow definition, your brief, and the team's tool / variable catalogue.
