Getting started¶
Malleable turns a plain-English description of a business process into a working workflow that real people and an AI agent run together.
You describe what should happen: who kicks it off, what information gets collected, which systems get updated, who needs to approve what. Malleable's architect agent turns that into a structured workflow with stages, and wires up the pieces that make it run: forms, integrations, emails, schedules.
The basic loop¶
- Describe your process. Write it the way you'd explain it to a new teammate. You don't need to think in flowcharts; the architect will ask questions when something is ambiguous.
- Review what the architect builds. You get a visual diagram of the workflow: its stages, who's responsible for each, and what happens at each step. Annotate anything that's wrong and the architect revises it.
- Run it. Workflows start from a form, an incoming email, a Slack or Teams message, a webhook, or a schedule. During a run, an agent works through the stages, asks people for input when it needs it, and hands off between the right people.
- Change it whenever. When your process changes, tell the architect what's different and it reshapes the workflow to match, so you're never stuck migrating a brittle flowchart by hand. Malleable also offers suggestions as it learns how your process runs.
What a workflow is made of¶
- Stages: the phases of your process, each with a responsible actor (a person in a role, or the agent itself).
- Components: the building blocks inside stages, like forms and interactive pages, integration actions, emails, web requests, scripts, and timers. See the component reference for the full catalog.
- Collected data: the information a run gathers as it goes, which later stages and components can use.
Where to go next¶
- Core concepts (the workflow, building, running): how workflows, stages, actors, and hand-offs fit together.
- Components: every building block a workflow can use, with a page for each.
- Integrations and the MCP server: everything your workflows can connect to, and how other software can drive Malleable.
