AI workflow and process orchestration

See the whole job around the AI

Most useful automation is not one prompt. It starts somewhere, gathers information, makes choices and sometimes waits for a person. Pūnaha lets you lay out that work as a visual workflow, so people can see what happens and change it without losing the history.

A visual Pūnaha workflow moves from a trigger and approved context through AI and decision work, human review, durable state and a recorded continuation.

A flexible sequence

Start where the work starts

A workflow might begin with a question, a file, a schedule or an event in another system. From there it can take a short route, split into parallel work or join a wider BPMN-based process.

  1. 1

    Trigger

    Start from input, a webhook, a schedule or a supported process event.

    Request, event or time
  2. 2

    Ground

    Retrieve approved knowledge, validate data and prepare the task.

    Context and controls
  3. 3

    Work

    Use models, rules, documents, connections or a reusable child workflow.

    Provider-neutral modules
  4. 4

    Review

    Pause for approval or an assigned human task when judgement is required.

    Human in the loop
  5. 5

    Continue

    Publish a message, update knowledge, return an output or move to the next process stage.

    Durable execution

Visual workflow modules

A workflow can do more than pass prompts between models

The visual builder brings the supported modules into one place. A developer can connect knowledge, decisions, documents, integrations and AI without hand-editing the core workflow definition.

AI and knowledge

Configure prompts, semantic or hybrid retrieval, local or external model calls and durable knowledge writes.

Logic and decisions

Transform and validate data, evaluate conditions and decision tables, merge branches and record approval outcomes.

People and governance

Assign human tasks, set due and overdue behaviour, pause for approval and add digest-backed evidence checkpoints.

Documents

Extract or split text, apply configured redaction and classification rules, render templates and create standard file outputs.

Connections

Use approved HTTP, email and database connections, plus a durable local message queue for publish, receive, retry and dead-letter handling.

Explore connections

Flow control

Use persistent waits, correlated events, bounded batch processing, parallel paths and pinned or latest child-workflow versions.

Operational execution

The work should not disappear when someone closes a browser

Schedules

Start a published workflow once, at an interval or from a cron schedule with an explicit time zone and bounded catch-up window.

Webhooks and events

Begin or resume work from approved external requests and correlated events.

Durable messages

Hand work to competing consumers, lease a message and acknowledge, retry or dead-letter it explicitly.

Persistent waits

Retain timers, approvals, tasks and events without relying on a continuously open browser.

Restart-aware state

Persist workflow versions, runs, waits, events, outputs and worker leases in the Pūnaha platform.

Inspect execution

Review the current state and append-only execution events when diagnosing or governing a run.

Controlled change

Change a live workflow without losing track of the version

  1. Design

    Arrange the triggers, data, knowledge, models, rules, integrations and people required for the intended work.

  2. Validate

    Check the workflow structure, module configuration and referenced resources before publication.

  3. Version and publish

    Publish an immutable version rather than changing a live process without a clear boundary.

  4. Execute and inspect

    Run the workflow durably and review events, waits, human work, outputs and failure state.

Structured process automation

Use a process model when the route needs to be explicit

For structured processes, Pūnaha supports BPMN-based activities, events, gateways, subprocesses, transactions, data and diagram interchange.

Use the provider-neutral workflow modules for product capabilities and the BPMN-based process model for the standard process elements that coordinate them.

Pūnaha does not currently make a formal BPMN conformance claim. Independent review and external interoperability evidence remain separate release requirements.

Decisions

Keep repeatable rules explicit through conditions and decision tables.

Cases

Use CMMN-based adaptive case management when the next appropriate task depends on evidence and judgement.

AI workflow questions

Is Pūnaha an AI agent orchestration platform?

Pūnaha coordinates model calls, retrieval, decisions, tools and human work inside a defined workflow. It can support agent-like processes, but we use precise workflow language rather than suggest unchecked autonomous behaviour.

Can a workflow connect other AI products?

Yes. Workflows can use configured local models and supported external model providers. Approved HTTP connections can also connect services that expose suitable APIs.

Which modules are available visually?

The visual builder covers triggers, prompts, retrieval, models, data transformation and validation, conditions, decision tables, approvals, human tasks, documents, HTTP, email, databases, message queues, waits, events, batches, child workflows, evidence checkpoints, merges and outputs, together with supported BPMN elements.

Can a workflow continue after a person closes the browser?

Yes. Supported waits, approvals, human tasks, events and run state are persisted by the Pūnaha platform and can resume independently of the original browser session.

Are workflows versioned?

Yes. Definitions are validated and published as immutable versions, with durable execution records and support for pinned or latest child-workflow versions.

Show us the process people currently hold together by hand

We can use a private demonstration to map where it starts, what information it needs, who makes the decisions and what should happen when something goes wrong.
