Exactly - the amount of transparency provided by this commit history and diff is really cool. So many ways git features provide some interesting ideas e.g. could PRs be a way to tr…

Was looking around for examples of git for complex document/policy management outside of software/code and found this repo where the Council of the District of Columbia stores its …

Not at the moment, though I am curious what the main benefit of a desktop app would be for you - running the code locally? more performant UI?

AI building the integrations is the approach we are taking at the moment, to the extent that you can store credentials like API keys and Oauth and then make the AI aware of these v…

We might be able to sort out a discount for individuals in exchange for some product feedback - send us an email at hello@workflow86.com

Interesting idea, I have it a go with this prompt: "Generate a workflow that uses code to scrape the content from a page, passes it to an AI assistant that then checks it for any t…

We've heard this as well and also sometimes use it as explanation. Who knew "86" could make sense in so many ways.

We use react-flow which seems to be the go-to for any sort of node/canvas based UI at this point.

Working on it at the moment, would be interested in learning more about the actions/events you would need to make it useful.

Valid point. At its core, our AI is indeed a LLM that is prompted to provide an output. A lot of the work however is in (1) prompting it in a way that allows it to actually underst…

Our AI goes much further than Zapier/Make in terms of how far it can get you towards a complete, ready-to-run workflow. Make's copilot is pretty limited to generating an outline of…

Partially inspired by WD-40 but more so the exorbitant price for anything workflow.com. The number did have some logic behind it: 8 letters in automate and 6 in no-code.

One factor in hindsight for doing this in-house was we did find out that AI can struggle with understanding and navigating existing workflow builders that were built and optimized …

Very interesting will definitely check it out!

Because we started with a focus on orchestrating forms and tasks, I'd say we're more suited for complex, long-running workflows that involve a lot of stop/start steps assigned to d…

Some new users are encountering issues with the AI during onboarding - if you do encounter an error, you can always try out the AI again by just click the glowing purple button on …

Integrations are definitely the toughest part of the implementation. That being said, I'm pretty optimistic on (1) AI getting better at writing the code/REST API calls or making it…

Nope, we built the workflow builder entirely ourselves, but I guess most workflow builders do end up looking very similar!

Hey HN, We built Workflow86 to help teams build and automate their internal business processes and workflows using drag and drop components like forms, tasks, tables and nodes for …

The past year seen an explosion in the rollout of "AI copilots" across many existing apps with the basic premise being type in what you want and the AI creates/configures something…

Very cool - any interesting use cases you have seen from users so far?

> Much better to be in that position than a company with a beautiful codebase who didn't capture the market For sure. But I wonder how many are prevented from capturing a larger se…

I think one downside is that because you are optimizing for sales in the short-term, it can lead to product design/architecture decisions which unknowingly constrain the direction …
