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 track changes from different parties or even citizen groups? C

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 statues and code as code in a git repo with a full

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 via a variable like ${googleAPI.SECRET}. These credentials ca

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 types, and then outputs the typos and the correct spelli

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 understand the user instructions and current state of the workflow

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 the flow by selecting the right nodes but does no

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 for human usage and comprehension e.g. what nodes are availa

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 different teams (e.g. review and approvals) mi

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 the right of any workflow canvas! This seems to be due to so

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 a lot easier or (2) the sort of browser agents we

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

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 segment of the market because of poor design decisions

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 or limits of future development/innovation (or at

Interesting tool...how does this compare to other CSPM tools?

Very true...which is why every no-code chatbot builder I've seen ended up adding web forms about 12 months later.

Based on all the comments, we ended up disabling the chatbot on our landing page/website but keeping it on our web app.

by taaron 5y ago
This was one of the theories - given the HN traffic was likely more technical users meaning a chatbot was more hindrance than help.

Curious as to what is your go to place for finding help faster - DIY via the product docs?

I suspect a tonne of NLP, machine learning/AI. An intercom chatbot is at best just a bunch of very simple logic rules.
