Capabilities

Everything a Modern Designer Needs

Powerful capabilities with AI orchestration — all self-hosted on your infrastructure.

Drag-and-drop canvas

Palette of trigger, action, branch, parallel, merge, LLM and knowledge base nodes on a snap-to-grid canvas with zoom, pan, fit-to-screen and auto-arrange.

AI flow components

Classify, extract, generate and AI chat components plus knowledge base search bring natural language automation to any flow.

Preview and deploy

Test conversations live in preview mode with active-step highlighting and variable inspection, then deploy to production or staging with trigger phrases.

BASIC code export

Every flow compiles to BASIC source you can view and customize, with code components for custom logic and full canvas keyboard shortcuts.

Ready-made templates

Start faster with pre-built FAQ, support, sales, appointment, feedback and onboarding templates right from the new flow dialog.

Variables and branching

System and flow variables power if/else branches, loops, waits, error handling paths and retry logic across your flows.
