Analyzing Workflows
Learn how to run AI analysis on your workflows and interpret the results to identify bottlenecks and automation opportunities.
Running Analysis
Once you've created a workflow, running analysis is simple:
Ensure workflow is complete
Make sure all nodes have descriptions and are properly connected
Click "Analyze" button
Found in the toolbar at the top of the canvas
Wait for AI processing
Analysis typically takes 10-30 seconds depending on complexity
Review results
Bottlenecks and opportunities appear on the analyzed workflow
Click to run AI analysis on your workflow
Understanding Bottlenecks
After analysis, nodes with identified bottlenecks will be highlighted. Bottlenecks are categorized by type:
Steps that cause delays or take too long
Staffing or capacity constraints
Inefficient procedures or workarounds
Handoff or information flow issues
Unclear criteria or approval delays
Rework or error-prone steps
System limitations or manual workarounds
Viewing Node Details
Click on any node to see detailed analysis information:
Bottlenecks Detected
Shows how many bottlenecks were found at this step and their categories.
AI Opportunities
Recommendations for how AI could automate or enhance this step.
AI Primitive
Which of the 6 AI primitives applies to this automation opportunity.
Analysis Status
Workflows show their analysis status in the header and list view:
Re-analyzing Workflows
When to Re-analyze
- • After making significant changes to node descriptions
- • After adding or removing nodes
- • After restructuring the workflow flow
- • When you want fresh insights on the same workflow
Simply click the "Analyze" button again to run a new analysis. Previous results will be replaced with the new analysis.
Tips for Better Analysis
- • Detailed descriptions - The more detail you provide, the better the analysis
- • Include pain points - Mention known issues in your descriptions
- • Note time spent - Indicate how long each step typically takes
- • Identify manual tasks - Highlight tasks done by hand that could be automated
