Here's a question that'll make any workflow enthusiast's heart skip a beat: Can you actually run multiple AI models within a single Clappia workflow?
Spoiler alert: Absolutely yes! 🎉
Think of it like having a relay race, but instead of runners, you've got AI models passing the baton. One AI summarizes your lengthy customer feedback, then hands it off to another AI that translates it into multiple languages, and maybe a third one that analyzes the sentiment. It's like having a super-smart assembly line that never gets tired!
I've been experimenting with AI workflow automation for a while now, and let me tell you—when you discover you can chain multiple AI models together in Clappia, it's like finding out your smartphone can also make coffee. Game-changing stuff.
Head over to your Clappia app and click on the Workflows tab. This is where the real magic happens. Think of workflows as your personal AI conductor, orchestrating each model to play their part at exactly the right moment.
Click Add Step and select your first AI model. Let's say you want to start with text summarization. Configure it to pull input from your app's text fields—maybe a customer complaint or a lengthy report.

Here comes the exciting part! Add another workflow step right after your first AI model. This time, select a different AI function—perhaps translation or sentiment analysis. The key is setting it to use the output from your first AI model as its input.
Smart move: Use the @fieldname syntax to dynamically connect outputs and inputs between AI steps. It's like creating a data highway between your AI models.
Configure your AI models to run in sequence by setting proper task dependencies. Each AI model waits for the previous one to complete before starting its work. No cutting in line allowed!

Not every workflow needs to be a straight line. You can add conditional steps that determine which AI model runs next based on the previous model's output. Think of it as creating smart decision trees within your AI workflow.
What happens when one AI model hiccups? Set up fallback mechanisms and error handling to keep your workflow running smoothly. Add conditional steps that reroute the process or notify administrators when something goes wrong.
While sequential processing is great for dependent tasks, sometimes you can run multiple AI models simultaneously on the same input. This parallel approach can significantly speed up processing times for independent tasks.
Want notifications when things go smoothly (or not)? Set up Email workflows or Slack notifications to stay in the loop.
Begin with two AI models working together before attempting to orchestrate an entire AI symphony. Once you're comfortable with the basics, gradually add more models to create sophisticated automation pipelines.
Keep track of how data moves between your AI models. Each model needs properly formatted input, and the output from one should seamlessly feed into the next. Clean data handoffs prevent bottlenecks and errors.
Use Clappia's analytics to monitor how well your AI workflow performs. Track processing times, success rates, and identify any models that might be causing slowdowns.
As your workflows become more complex, consider the computational load. Multiple AI models running in sequence can take time—plan your expectations accordingly.
Problem: Second AI model isn't receiving input from the first one.
Solution: Check your field mapping syntax and ensure you're using the correct @fieldname references.
Problem: Your multi-stage AI workflow is taking too long to complete.
Solution: Consider parallel processing for independent tasks or break complex workflows into smaller chunks.
Problem: AI models producing different outputs for similar inputs.
Solution: Review your model configurations and consider adding validation steps between AI processes.
Problem: One AI model outputs data in a format the next model can't understand.
Solution: Add data transformation steps or use intermediate processing to format data correctly.
