Workflows: only for tech people?

Good day, it’s Kirill 👋

As an engineer at Keep, I've seen firsthand how our workflow engine empowers teams to automate their operations. (if you're new to Keep workflows, here's a great starting point: https://www.keephq.dev/blog/your-first-workflow-in-keep) While many of our power users love writing YAML, we've noticed an interesting pattern during deployments: the technical teams who initially bring in Keep are comfortable with code-based solutions, but their colleagues often find building workflows through YAML configuration to be a significant barrier.

I believe AIOps shouldn't be limited to a select group of engineers – it should be an accessible tool that helps everyone in an organization work more efficiently. That's why I've spent the last few months reimagining our workflow editor to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.

Today, I'm excited to announce the launch of our AI-assisted visual workflow builder. This new tool makes creating, modifying, and understanding workflows accessible to team members across all technical levels.

AI-assisted workflow Builder

Getting started is remarkably simple: create a new workflow and describe your goal to our AI assistant in plain English. Whether you need to "Query the database to enrich alerts with customer IDs" or "Send Slack notifications for critical alerts," the AI will help translate your intent into a functional workflow. No more wrestling with YAML syntax or memorizing configuration parameters – just express what you want to achieve in your own words.

Workflows are still YAMLs

While the AI builder makes workflow creation more accessible, everything under the hood remains YAML-based. Any workflow you create through the visual interface can be exported as YAML and seamlessly integrated into your Git repository. This means you get the best of both worlds: an intuitive visual builder for rapid development and collaboration, plus the robustness of infrastructure-as-code for version control and automation.

Try it yourself on our Open Source platform: https://github.com/keephq/keep/ or log in to our Cloud https://platform.keephq.dev/, where more AI features are available. 

Also, we are happy to see you in our Slack community, where our team is helping those adopting Keep: https://slack.keephq.dev/ !
