Agents and Workflows
Automate multi-step tasks with Elephas agents: diagrams, file operations, web research, presentations, and more.
Workflows and agents (Beta)
Elephas Workflows let you perform multi-step actions using AI agents. Each workflow can contain one or more agents, and each agent can use one tool. For example, Super Brain is a tool that contains actions like semantic search across your brain or specific files.
Workflows are currently a beta feature.
Built-in workflows
Elephas comes with built-in workflows for common use cases:
- Summarizing brain files
- Finding files that talk about a specific topic
- Web search
- Drawing mind maps, Gantt charts, and timeline charts
Accessing workflows
Click the workflow icon in Elephas to access workflows. You can:
- Create a new workflow
- Browse the dynamic workflow library
Triggering a workflow from Super Chat
You trigger workflows from Super Chat by typing the @ symbol followed by the workflow name. For example, to summarize files in your brain, type @Summarize and select the workflow from the suggestions.
Step 1: Filter your files (optional)
If you want the workflow to act on specific files, click the Filter icon on the left of the chat text editor, select the files you want to include, then click Apply.
Step 2: Trigger the workflow
- In the chat input, type
@followed by the workflow name (e.g.,@Summarize) - Select the workflow from the dropdown
- Click the send button to run the workflow
- Elephas executes the workflow and shows the result in chat
Workflow tools
Workflows can use various tools to accomplish tasks:
- Super Brain: Search and read your indexed documents
