Choose How to Build a Jinba Flow Workflow

Start with the chat panel if you want to describe a workflow in plain language. Use the graph editor to assemble and inspect steps visually, or edit the YAML manifest when you need direct control over step definitions. You can move between these views while refining the same flow.

​

Move between the three workflow views

• Start with Chat Panel if you’re new to Jinba Flow or want to quickly explore possibilities
• Use Graph Editor (Drag & Drop) if you prefer visual interfaces and want to work with existing tools
• Choose YAML Coding Panel if you need full control and are comfortable with YAML configuration

You can start in chat, refine the flow in the graph editor, and edit the YAML manifest when you need direct control.
