Flows in Promptitude allow you to connect multiple prompts and tools into a seamless sequence, creating sophisticated AI systems without any coding.
By linking together components you've already created in your account, you can automate complex processes and generate refined results in just a few steps. This powerful feature helps you build complete workflows where information passes naturally from one step to the next.
Understanding the Basics of Flows
Flows operate as a linear chain of components that execute in sequence:
Step-by-Step Execution: When you activate a flow, each component runs in the order you've defined
Data Passing: The output from one step becomes available as input for subsequent steps
Final Result: Once all steps complete, you receive the result in your chosen format
During the Beta phase, you can include up to 10 steps in a single flow. This limit helps ensure optimal performance and reasonable execution times while preventing system overload.
✏️ Creating Your First Flow
Getting started with Flows is straightforward:
Navigate to the Flows section in your Promptitude dashboard
Click "Create New Flow" and provide a descriptive name
Add your first step by selecting a prompt or tool from your account
Configure the step settings, including any variables or parameters
Add subsequent steps and define how data passes between them
Set your desired output format (text, formatted text, or JSON)
Save and test your flow to ensure it works as expected
The Power of Dynamic Variables
One of the most valuable features of Flows is the ability to use dynamic variable selection. This means you can:
Pass data between steps seamlessly
Use outputs from previous steps as inputs for later ones
Create chains of data that flow naturally through your automation
Build recognizable patterns that make your workflows intuitive
📌 Practical Applications
Flows can transform how you use AI in your business.
Content creation pipeline: Generate an article outline, expand each section, then polish the final text
Customer support automation: Analyze support tickets, categorize issues, and generate personalized responses
Data processing workflow: Extract information from documents, transform it into specific formats, and summarize key points
Research assistant: Search for information on topics, analyze findings, and create comprehensive reports
✅ Best Practices for Effective Flows
To maximize the value of your Promptitude flows:
Start simple: Begin with 2-3 step flows before building more complex workflows
Name steps clearly: Use descriptive names that indicate what each step accomplishes
Test thoroughly: Check your flow with various inputs to ensure consistent results
Monitor performance: Review logs to identify any bottlenecks or inefficiencies
Refine iteratively: Improve your flows over time based on results and feedback
As you explore Flows in Promptitude, remember that this feature is designed to be accessible to non-developers. You don't need coding knowledge to create powerful AI systems—just your understanding of the processes you want to automate and the prompts and tools you've already created in your account.
If you encounter any challenges while building your flows, Promptitude's support team is ready to help you optimize your workflows and achieve your automation goals.
