Temperature Control for Output Behavior

Workflow AI provides precise control over response creativity through temperature settings:

  • Higher values (e.g., 0.8) generate diverse, creative outputs.
  • Lower values (e.g., 0.2) focus on producing structured, predictable responses.
 
 

Dynamic Outputs

Results generated by Workflow AI can be seamlessly integrated into further actions, such as sending emails, updating CRM records, or processing data through other workflow steps.

 
 

Enable History

When "Enable History" is activated, Workflow AI can leverage past GPT action executions to provide more personalized and context-aware responses. This feature is independent for each contact and utilizes larger context sizes by switching to GPT-4 models. Users can define how conversations are remembered using the following options:

  • This Workflow: Retains all conversations with GPT actions within a workflow.
  • Per Execution: Resets conversations for every new execution.
  • This Step: Maintains memory specific to the selected action across multiple executions.
  • Custom: Allows grouping of specific actions or workflows using a unique memory key.

Enabling history also unlocks System Instructions and Memory Optimization Options, allowing you to further refine AI behavior and memory usage:

  • System Instructions: Provide detailed guidelines to the AI, such as tone, style, or specific requirements for the generated text. This ensures consistent and tailored outputs.
  • Exclude Instructions from History: Prevents saving sensitive or temporary instructions in memory.
  • Exclude Responses from History: Ensures non-conversational outputs like analytics or tracking data are not stored.

These combined features offer flexibility, privacy, and customization, making Workflow AI a powerful tool for creating contextually aware and efficient workflows.

 
 

 

Use Cases of Workflow AI

Workflow AI is versatile, enabling a wide range of applications across industries:

  1. Customer Engagement
    Automate personalized responses for customer inquiries, post-purchase surveys, and follow-up messages.
  2. E-commerce Optimization
    Send abandoned cart reminders, generate product recommendations, and provide order updates.
  3. Event Management
    Automate RSVP confirmations, send personalized event reminders, and generate post-event surveys.
  4. Education and Training
    Create study plans, send progress updates, and automate course completion certificates.
  5. Operational Efficiency
    Use Workflow AI to analyze data, identify trends, and generate actionable insights for business processes.
