# Workflows Explained

A workflow in Autom8 AI is a visual automation made up of connected nodes that handle tasks, data, and decisions—powered by AI when you need it.

Here’s what you can do:

* Build new workflows from scratch in the editor
* Use workflow templates to jumpstart your setup
* Understand the building blocks: nodes, triggers, data paths, and logic
* Test and troubleshoot using the Execution history
* Share and reuse workflows across your team
* New to Autom8 AI? Start with a quickstart to see it in action

Whether you're automating one task or orchestrating hundreds, workflows are your foundation.
