Ideatura offers three ways to organise automated work. Choose according to whether your task needs a defined operation, a fixed sequence, or AI judgment while it runs.

Compare the options

​
Normal automation

Use a normal automation when you know the procedure and need to choose its inputs. For grid dimensions, parameters can specify the views, dimension style, placement sides and offsets. Start with Find an automation.

​
Chained automations

Use a chain when several saved procedures need to run in order. Each step keeps its own purpose, while later steps use the outputs created earlier. Configure the inputs and check how those outputs are matched between steps. See Chained automations.

​
AI Flow

An AI Flow is one saved automation that can include parameters, internal AI prompts and model operations. Use it when the procedure needs to interpret information and decide what to do while it runs. Branches, checks and retries must be designed into the Flow; they do not happen automatically. A chain can also include an AI Flow as one of its steps. See AI Flows.

​
Choose the simplest fit

Start with a normal automation for a defined task. Use a chain to connect reusable steps, or an AI Flow when decisions depend on information found during execution. Test a small case and inspect the result before extending the scope.
