Let's talk about something we've all been seeing: companies are eager to adopt AI, but they're stuck at a crossroads.

On one side, there's this incredible potential to transform their business with AI applications. On the other, there's the very real challenge of building these applications safely and getting them into production without running into issues down the line.

It's a story we've heard time and time again: The subject matter experts who deeply understand the use case can't effectively collaborate with the development team. The developers are constrained by rigid tools that don't give them the flexibility they need. And everyone's worried about whether their AI applications will behave as expected when they hit production!

That's why we're introducing Autoblocks Workflows – a new way to build AI applications that brings together the best of both worlds: the flexibility developers need and the collaboration tools that teams deserve.

The Reality of Building AI Applications Today

Here's what typically happens when companies try to build AI applications:

The subject matter experts, who often have the deepest understanding of how the AI should behave and what prompts would work best, are kept at arm's length from the development process. They end up sending feedback through endless email threads or Slack messages that get lost in the noise.

Meanwhile, developers are forced to choose between two suboptimal options: either use no-code tools that are too rigid for their needs, or build everything from scratch without any guardrails or collaboration features.

And throughout this whole process, there's this constant anxiety: "How do we know this will work safely in production? What if we miss some edge cases? What if it starts behaving differently once it's live?"

A Different Approach to AI Development

We built Workflows with a simple philosophy: give teams everything they need to build AI applications confidently, without compromising on flexibility or safety.

Think of it as a "low-floor, high-ceiling" approach. Anyone can get started quickly with our templates and visual interface, but there's no limit to how far you can take it.

Want to integrate your existing AI systems? Go for it.

Need to write custom code? We've got you covered.

Want to surface just the prompt engineering interface to your subject matter experts? You can do that too.

What Makes Workflows Different

Unlike traditional development tools, Workflows is built specifically for the unique challenges of AI development:

Test Before You Deploy: Catch issues early by testing your applications during development. No more crossing your fingers and hoping everything works in production.

True Collaboration: Subject matter experts can directly contribute their expertise through interfaces designed for them, while developers maintain full control over the implementation.

Templates That Matter: Start with purpose-built templates that include not just the application structure, but also relevant test cases. Because let's be honest – testing is probably the most underrated part of AI development.

Flexible Integration: Use our pre-built components or bring your own. Workflows plays nice with your existing AI investments, whether they were built in Autoblocks or not.

One-Click to Production: When you're ready, deploy your application with a single click and get an API endpoint. Then monitor and evaluate its performance continuously.

Why This Matters

Here's what this means for your team:

1. Safety First: Test your applications thoroughly before deployment, catch edge cases early, and monitor performance in production. No surprises.

2. Real Collaboration: Break down the walls between subject matter experts and developers. Let everyone contribute their expertise without stepping on each other's toes.

3. Speed Without Sacrifice: Move fast without breaking things. Our templates and pre-built components help you get started quickly, while our testing tools help you stay safe.

The Future of AI Development

We believe the future of AI development isn't about choosing between flexibility and safety, or between speed and collaboration. It's about having all of these things, working together seamlessly.

Workflows is our vision for this future – a platform that makes it easy to build AI applications the right way, from day one.
