Concept · workflow builder

Build the pipeline. Watch the hours fall off.

A design concept for a workflow-automation studio: switch steps of a back-office process between manual and automated, and see the cost of the process change in front of you.

Try it: automate a request pipeline

This one is interactive. Flip any step from manual to automated and the time chart reflows. Then run a sample request through the pipeline you built. All numbers are illustrative dummy data for a made-up process.

Illustrative concept only. The step names, minutes, and totals are invented example data, not measurements from a real system.

The concept, captured

What this concept explores

🔨

Composable steps

A process is a row of small, swappable steps, and any one of them can move from a person to software without rebuilding the rest.

⏲️

Cost you can see

Every configuration shows its price in minutes immediately, so the case for automating a step is visible before anything gets built.

🎮

Direct manipulation

The interface is the model: flip a switch, watch the pipeline change. No settings page, no report to request.

👀

Humans stay in the loop

Steps that need judgment stay manual on purpose, and the pipeline runs fine with a person in the middle of it.
