A workflow is up to five steps behind one shortcut: your agents, then the write that files the result. Press the key and the routine runs through to a ticket that exists.
An agent is a prompt you saved once. A workflow carries one running text from the first step to the last: an agent shapes it, a write ships it, and what the write hands back is what the next step reads.
Up to five steps in series. Each one runs on what the step before it produced, so rough notes become decisions, then a story, then a ticket that exists. An agent you already use drops straight in as a step, with nothing to rewrite.
The AI steps shape the text. A write step ships it, into the six tools you have connected.
The issue key and the link it returns become the running text, so a step placed after a write is writing about something that exists. That's how a workflow ends on a release note quoting its own ticket, or on a reply that gives the customer a number.
A parallel step gives the same text to two, three or four destinations and writes them at the same time: the ticket in Jira, the heads-up in Slack, the note in Confluence. It counts as one step against the five, and the editor draws it as a split that rejoins, never as a nested list.
One field in the editor decides what the first step runs on. Change it and the steps stay exactly as you wrote them.
The text you highlighted when you pressed the key. The default, and the one most workflows never leave.

A workflow is up to 5 work steps run in series behind a single shortcut. Each step is either one of your agents (a prompt you saved once), a write to a connected tool, or a parallel step that writes to several tools at once, and each step picks up where the previous one left off: rough notes become decisions, then a formatted ticket, then a filed Jira issue. One shortcut in, one result out. Workflows have their own page in the app's sidebar, next to Agents.
A step can create a Jira issue or comment on one, create a Confluence page, comment on a page or append to one, create a Linear issue, create or append to a Notion page, post a Slack message, draft a Gmail email, or hand the running text to Claude. The AI steps shape the text; the write step ships it, and the issue key or page link it returns becomes the running text for the next step.
No. Open Generate with AI on the Workflows page and describe the routine in plain language, for example "turn my standup notes into Linear issues." Khint drafts the workflow: it reuses agents you already have when they match, authors new ones where needed, and shows build notes for what it created or reused. If a step needs an integration you haven't connected yet, it flags a Connect prompt instead of guessing. You review, tweak, and save.
The palette opens with a "Your idea" input. Type what you want done ("summarize this and file it in Jira") and Khint plans it as a one-off workflow from your agents and connected integrations. You see the plan before anything runs: the steps, and the text it will run on. Confirm, it runs, and if the run was good Khint offers to save it as a real workflow you can run again.
Only its AI steps. Each agent step bills like a single action, about one credit for a light one; the write steps cost nothing, and neither do the branches of a parallel step, because a write isn't a model call. Planning a run from the idea bar is free too. The free plan gives 300 credits a month, Lite 900, Pro 4,000 and Max 7,000, all drawn from one monthly wallet.
A workflow run from the palette pastes the final text back where your cursor was. A run planned from the idea bar or a capture lands on your clipboard instead, with the created issue key or page link when the last step is a write, ready to drop into the thread you were in. Either way, every step logs into your active Memory session, so later actions can draw on what the workflow did.
