Workflow engine · Automation · In use

The workflow engine is a self-hosted Windmill instance. Scripts and flows are written in Python and TypeScript, kept in git and synced to the server, and they connect the tools a production already uses.

How it flows

You start it. It runs.

Scroll and follow the signal. On the top lane a person makes the call. On the bottom lane the agents do the work.

You add a video, or a schedule fires.

Workflow engine · 01 / 06

By hand.

Someone copies each result to the next tool.

A circuit-board view of the workflow engine. First the tools sit apart and a person copies and pastes between them. Then wires route between them. A new video triggers a signal that runs through video, audio, text and the record, each block lighting in turn. From the record the signal fans out to summary, chapters and search text. Finally a clock dial turns and the whole board runs again by itself on a schedule.

Why it exists

A production runs on a dozen tools that do not talk to each other, so people spend the day copying things from one to the next.

  • Without it: Copy and paste between toolsWith it: Tools pass work to each other
  • Without it: Jobs that depend on someone rememberingWith it: Jobs run on a schedule or a trigger
  • Without it: Scripts nobody can find againWith it: Every script kept in version control

What it does

  • Transcribe a video and write the transcript to its database record

  • Turn a transcript into a summary, keywords, SEO text and chapters

  • Pull a channel's latest videos and transcripts on a schedule

  • Run batch AI completions and write the results to a table

  • Generate images, video and audio through media APIs, pausing until the result arrives

  • Keep everything in git, synced to our own server

Where the AI sits

Four layers, you on top.

  1. 01

    You

    You decide what should run by itself.

  2. 02

    Flows

    Steps chained into a job that runs start to finish.

  3. 03

    Scripts

    Small programs, each doing one thing.

  4. 04

    Server

    Our own, so the data stays with us.
