How to Build a workflow in Twin AI

Introduction [00:00 - 02:24]

This video and guide provides a comprehensive, step-by-step walkthrough on creating a workflow in the Twin AI app. By following these instructions, you'll be able to automate the process of converting audio files into perfectly transcribed text.

Step 1: Create a Twin AI Account [02:25 - 03:11]

1. Navigate to the Twin AI app.
2. Click on the "I'm new" tab located on the right-hand side.
3. Fill in your personal details in the registration form.
4. Click on the "Get Started for Free" button to create your account.
5. Bonus: As a participant in this workshop, you'll receive 20 credits (€20) for free to explore and build workflows on the platform.

Step 2: Log Into Your Account [03:12 - 04:05]

1. Click on the "Login" tab situated on the left-hand side of the website.
2. Enter your registered email and password to access your account.
3. Upon successful login, locate the "Create Your First Workflow" button. (Note: This button will disappear once your first workflow is created.)
4. Alternatively, click on the "New" button in the top right-hand corner to initiate workflow creation.
5. Check Your Credits: Ensure you have sufficient credits (e.g., 20 credits) displayed in the top right corner for building workflows.
6. Tip: If you need assistance with adding credits manually, visit the Help Desk for guidance: How to access, update, or add payment methods in Twin AI.

Step 3: Access the Workflow Builder [04:06 - 04:35]

1. After clicking the "New" button, you'll be directed to the Editor Screen.
2. On the left-hand side, explore the available options such as AI, Logic, Run Templates, etc.
3. On the right-hand side, you'll see the General Workflow Settings.
4. By default, a Prompt Block is displayed when you create a new workflow.

Step 4: Configure General Workflow Settings [04:36 - 05:34]

1. Click on the background of your workflow or select "Workflow Settings" to access general settings.
2. Name Your Workflow: For this example, name it "Coaching Talk to Personal Development Plan".
3. Add a Description: Enter a description to help when sharing the workflow with colleagues or clients.
4. Public Accessibility: Toggle "Publicly Accessible" if you want others to use your workflow via a shared link.
5. Scheduled Runs: Enable "Scheduled Run" to set the workflow to run at your desired frequency (e.g., every minute, hour, day, week, or month).

Step 5: Set Up Workflow Inputs [05:35 - 06:15]

1. Navigate to the "Input" tab within the general settings.
2. Enter "Coaching Talk" as the input type.
3. Click the "+" button or press Enter to add it.
4. The input will appear in the workflow as a file since the coaching talk is an audio file uploaded by the coach.
5. Click on the dropdown menu next to the input and select "File".

Step 6: Define Workflow Output [06:16 - 06:44]

1. The output of your workflow is typically the last block.
2. For this workflow, set the expected output as a Personal Development Plan.
3. For clarity, you can name the output block "Personal Development Plan".
4. Click Enter to confirm the output block.
5. Connect Blocks: Ensure the last block is connected to the output to finalize the workflow structure.

Step 7: Add and Configure the Transcribe Block [06:45 - 08:58]

1. In the left-hand side menu, click on the search bar and type "Transcribe".
2. Drag the "Transcribe" block into your workflow workspace.

3. Positioning: when clicking on the Transcribe block, it should be one layer deeper than the workflow settings.

   

4. Input Selection:

• Click on the Transcribe block to configure it. Click on the tab "input".
• Click on the dropdown menu to select an AI model for transcription. Options include Whisper (OpenAI), Google Gemini, and Assembly AI. For this guide, I will select "Assembly AI".
• Pro Tip: Experiment with different models to achieve the best transcription quality.
• Click on "Connect Data Source" and choose "Coaching Talk" to link the input file to the Transcribe block (see what we did in step 5).
• Under the "Prompt" section, adjust settings considering that typically two people are speaking.
• Click "Save" to apply the changes.
• Specify the language by entering the appropriate abbreviation (e.g., EN for English, DE for German, NL for Dutch).

Step 8: Finalize and Test the Workflow [08:59 - 09:24]

1. Review Connections: Ensure that the "Coaching Talk" input is connected to the Transcribe block, and the Transcribe block is linked to the Final Development Plan output.
2. Upload a Sample File: Click on the "Upload File" button within the Transcribe block to add a coaching talk audio file.
3. Run the Workflow: Initiate the workflow to test the transcription.
4. View Results: 

• Click on the "Results" tab to see the output of the entire workflow.
• Alternatively, click on the Transcribe block and select "Output" to view the transcription of that specific block.
• Third option, is to click on the Transcribe block, click on "Output" and go to "View block results".

5. Completion: Once the workflow runs successfully, a personalized development plan will be generated within seconds, showcasing the efficiency of the Twin AI platform. This is the end goal.

Introduction

Hello everyone and thanks again for joining our workshop. As you might have seen, we're very excited to share with you our launch today. Today I'm going to guide you through how you can build your first workflow. I've picked out an example, a case for you. In this example, we're going to build a workflow that gets you from an audio file to a personalized development plan.

In this case, one coach and one coachee are talking to each other. I am the writer, a co-worker of the coach. I am going to get the audio file, write everything down and write a personalized development plan for the coachee. This would normally take me about two to three hours, but with the workflow we are going to build, this is just a matter of seconds, maybe one minute maximum. Instead of having to write everything down, stick to the criteria and write a personalized development plan, we're just going to build one workflow that takes care of this.

Example Output

The end result is something that I will show you now. You can see that your company logo will be shown here. Obviously in this example it's just Twin AI. This is the personal development plan of the coachee. It's all anonymous, fictional data, not real.

There are three different topics that the coach and the coachee discuss in the coaching talk:

1. Talents (one chapter, thus one prompt in our workflow) 
2. Growth potential
3. Growth suggestions

These are the three things we will cover in our workflow. Instead of taking 2-3 hours to get the audio into a personal development plan, this is just a matter of seconds with the workflow.

Creating an Account

I assume you all have an account by now. If you don't, you can go to the website visible on your screen and hopefully in the chat as well. Click on the "I'm new" tab on the right-hand side and fill in your personal details. Click on the "Get started for free" button.

For everyone joining this workshop and creating an account right now, get 20 credits or €20 for free that you can actually build a lot with on our platform. I'm going to show you later how much you can build with the €20 you get from us.

Logging In

Go to the login tab on the left-hand side. Obviously I already have an account, so I will use my own. Click login and you should see something like this. Scroll down and you'll see "Create your first workflow". This button disappears once you've created your first workflow. That's why I usually click on "New" in the top right corner.

I have €200 or 200 credits available to spend on the platform. This is a nice round number so I can show you later how expensive it is. If you want to manually add credits, I suggest visiting our help desk as it's pretty easy. I'm not going to show that in this video.

Building a Workflow

Click on the "New" button and you'll be in the editor screen where you can build workflows. On the left-hand side you see the different options - an AI section, logic, run template, etc. On the right-hand side are the general workflow settings.

When you click on the prompt block shown by default, you go one layer deeper into your workflow. To get back to the general settings, click on "Workflow settings" again or the background of your workflow.

I know this workflow is going to convert a coaching talk to a personal development plan. Just a reminder, it's all anonymized, fictional data, not real.

Workflow Settings

You can add a description which might come in handy when sharing this workflow with colleagues, clients, etc., same for making it publicly accessible.

Under the general settings, you have font settings and a "publicly accessible" option, meaning everyone can use your workflow if they have the link. You can also enable a scheduled run, picking if you want this workflow to run every minute, hour, day, week, month, etc.

The second tab of the workflow's general settings is "Input". I know the input is going to be a coaching talk, so I type in "Coaching talk" and click the plus button or press enter. It appears and we know the coaching talk is a file, not text, because it's an audio file the coach will upload. Select "File" from the dropdown menu.

Output

The output of your workflow is usually the last block. Since we're building a workflow that converts the coach-coachee audio talk into a personalized development plan, the expected output data is either a development plan, but for clarity I'll name it "Last block". Click enter, then we have to connect the last block to get the output of the workflow.

Transcription

We're going to use transcription, so type "transcribe" in the search on the left-hand side. If you're new to the platform, I suggest opening the AI tab, scrolling down until you find what you're looking for.

Click and drag "Transcribe" into the workflow. Now you're one layer deeper, in the transcribe block. Transcription converts audio to text, so I'll name it "Audio to Text".

For the input, you can select different models. Pro tip: Experiment with the different models available (Whisper from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Assembly AI) to get the best possible output. For now, I'll choose Assembly AI.

Connect the data source, since we know the transcribe block needs the workflow input. Select the only option - "Coaching talk" - click connect. The coaching talk, which is the workflow input, is now connected to the transcribe block, the first block of our workflow.

In the prompt section, you can clarify that there are usually two people talking and to take this into account. Click save.

For language, type in the two-letter abbreviation - "en" for English, "de" for German, "nl" for Dutch, etc. We don't need to do anything with the remaining settings.

The output is what you'll get from this specific block. Clicking "Results" in the top-right corner shows the results of the whole workflow, while clicking the block itself and "Output" shows just the output of that block.

I'm going to upload a file now, which I'll cut out of this video, and then we'll see the first results.
