🧠 Add Yedric into any workflow
Yedric can also be added to any workflow using the Ask step. It’s a simple way to drop in, ask questions, and get a response mid-workflow. Use Ask for things like a weekly calendar summary or analyze support responses for reporting product issues.
🤖 Improvement: AI step suggestions
We added AI step suggestions in the workflow builder to help build faster and with less guesswork. When creating a new automation, you’ll now be asked to “Describe your workflow” so AI has more context to help suggest the next step of your workflow.
