Workflows are the core of Wireflow. They let you chain AI models together visually — no coding required.

## Creating a New Workflow

1. Go to **Files** and click **New Workflow**
2. The workflow editor opens with a blank canvas

## Adding Nodes

Nodes are the building blocks of a workflow. Each node represents an AI model or a utility operation.

1. Click the **+** button or right-click the canvas to open the node picker
2. Browse or search for the model you want (e.g., "Flux Image", "Kling Video")
3. Click to add it to the canvas

### Node Types

- **AI Model Nodes** — Generate images, videos, audio, or text using AI models
- **Utility Nodes** — Transform or combine data (e.g., Prompt Concatenator, Text Input)
- **Input Nodes** — Accept user input when the workflow runs as an app

## Connecting Nodes

Drag from an **output port** on one node to an **input port** on another to create a connection. Data flows through these connections when the workflow executes.

For example, you might connect:

1. **Text Input** → **Image Generator** (text prompt feeds the image model)
2. **Image Generator** → **Video Generator** (generated image becomes the video's starting frame)

## Configuring Nodes

Click any node to open its settings panel on the right. Each model has different options:

- **Prompt** — The text instruction for the AI
- **Aspect Ratio** — Output dimensions
- **Steps / Quality** — Higher values = better quality but more credits
- **Seed** — Set a specific seed for reproducible results

## Running a Workflow

1. Click the **Run** button in the toolbar
2. Nodes execute in order, layer by layer
3. Progress indicators show which nodes are running
4. Results appear on each node when complete

Execution follows the connections you've made — upstream nodes run first, and their outputs feed into downstream nodes automatically.

## Saving

Workflows auto-save as you edit. You can also rename your workflow by clicking its title at the top of the editor.

## Tips

- Start simple — connect two nodes and run before building a complex pipeline
- Use **Text Input** nodes to make prompts editable when publishing as an app
- Check the [Templates](/docs/templates) page for inspiration and starting points
