Workflow Generator


Table of Contents


Overview

The Workflow Generator builds complex automation flows from natural language. Describe what you want in plain English, and the AI creates complete workflows with triggers, conditions, branches, loops, and integrations across 100+ services — no drag-and-drop, no manual configuration.

Genesis connection: Genesis apps automatically generate workflow automations as part of the Execution pillar. The Workflow Generator lets you create additional automations or modify existing ones. Each automation adds +5 points to your Intelligence Scorearrow-up-right.
