# Automation Hub

> Build and run multi-step flows.

The Automation Hub lets you build, run, and manage multi-step automation flows.

## Open Automation Hub

Select the **Automation** tab at the bottom of the side panel.

## Create a new flow

1. Click **New Flow**.
2. Choose a **trigger**:
   * **Manual Execution** — Run the flow on demand.
   * **Agent Execution** — Let the assistant launch the flow later.
3. Enter a flow **name** and select a **default model**.
4. Add steps to the flow. Each step can be an **AI Prompt** instruction, a saved **prompt card**, or a **registered tool** step.
5. Use **Smart Model Switch** to assign a different model to individual steps.
6. Use `@stepN` references to reuse the output of a previous step (for example, `@step1`).
7. **Review** and **Save** your flow.

## Run a flow

From the flow card, select **Run Now** to execute the flow manually. The assistant runs each step in sequence.

## Manage flows

Each flow has a card with these controls:

* **Run Now** — Execute the flow immediately.
* **Edit** — Modify the flow configuration.
* **Enable / Disable** — Turn the flow on or off.
* **Delete** — Remove the flow.
* **Preview** — See the flow steps without running them.

## Execution History

Open the **Execution History** panel to view past runs. For each execution you can:

* **View** the results.
* **Copy** the output.
* **Export** the results.
* **Delete** the history entry.
