Context awareness
The AI knows which page you’re on and adapts its responses accordingly:
When you’re in the workflow editor, the AI can see everything on your canvas: node types, labels, how they’re connected, and each node’s configuration. This means you can ask specific questions like “what does the third step do?” or “is there a problem with my loop?”.
Building workflows with chat
In the workflow editor, the AI can directly modify your canvas. You can ask it to:- Add nodes: “Add a Slack connector after the trigger”
- Remove nodes: “Delete the transform node”
- Update configuration: “Change the condition to check if order total is over $100”
- Connect nodes: “Connect the Shopify node to the condition”
- Build entire flows: “Create a workflow that fetches new Shopify orders and sends a Slack notification for each one”
What you can ask
Beyond building workflows, you can use the chat for:- Explanations: “What does this workflow do?” or “Explain the condition node”
- Troubleshooting: “Why might this step fail?” or “What’s wrong with my workflow?”
- Guidance: “How do I connect to Shopify?” or “What’s the best way to loop over an array?”
- General questions: “What connectors are available?” or “How do schedules work?”
Choosing a model
The chat header bar includes a model picker. Select a model from the dropdown to change which model powers your session; your choice persists across page reloads. See AI Models for details on each model’s strengths.Tips for effective use
- Be specific: “Add a Slack connector that sends to #general” works better than “add a messaging step”
- Reference nodes by name: if you’ve labelled your nodes, use those labels when talking to the AI
- Iterate: start with a rough workflow and ask the AI to refine it step by step
- Ask for explanations: if you’re not sure what the AI did, ask it to explain
- Use it on any page: the chat isn’t just for the editor. Ask questions about connections, settings, or general workflow design from anywhere
