FlowGenie can be incorporated directly into process maps as part of your workflows. Users create Genie prompts within their processes, enabling tasks to be executed efficiently without repetitive manual effort.
The FlowGenie Studio is designed to make training and managing your Genies simple and intuitive. This environment allows users to test, preview, and fine-tune the responses of their Genies, ensuring that they deliver tailored outputs aligned with organizational goals. With its sleek interface, FlowGenie Studio ensures that customization and optimization are no longer reserved for tech experts—any user can harness its full potential.
How Does FlowGenie Work?
FlowGenie simplifies and automates tasks with remarkable efficiency. Here’s how it functions within your workflows:
Seamless integration
Add FlowGenie to your tasks to access Large Language Models (LLMs) directly within a process workflow. Simply compose your prompt once, and FlowGenie will execute the task across all relevant cases, consistently delivering results tailored to each scenario.
Multiple Genies for complex processes
You can include multiple Genies within the same process to automate multiple steps and enhance efficiency. Each Genie is trained to handle specific functions, improving process speed and flexibility.
Advanced input handling
Genies can process diverse inputs, including images, PDFs, and CSV files, providing unparalleled versatility. They can also access information from URLs, making processes even more streamlined and powerful.
Conversational UI
With its conversational interface, FlowGenie delivers a personalized and engaging user experience, allowing smooth and natural interactions with the AI.

Use Case: Document Analysis for a publication
One of the unique use cases for FlowGenie is managing and analyzing large volumes of document submissions for journalists and publications. Newsrooms and publications often receive hundreds of press releases and article submissions weekly, making the process of reviewing, assessing, and approving content both time-consuming and repetitive. FlowGenie simplifies this workflow by automating key steps, starting with document analysis based on predefined prompts tailored to specific criteria such as grammar, structure, topical relevance, readability, and the quality of images or infographics. By utilizing AI, FlowGenie quickly identifies submissions that meet these thresholds, significantly reducing the manual effort required for initial screening. Approved submissions are then forwarded to a human decision-maker, such as an editor or publisher, for final review. This combination of automated precision and human oversight ensures a faster, more efficient process.Here’s a step-by-step illustration of how it can happen.
