Core Concepts in Practice
In a single lesson you’ll see how Metaflow’s four core aspects—Agents, Flows, Canvas, and Records fit together.
Core Concepts in Practice
Metaflow combines drag-and-drop Flows, autonomous or co-pilot Agents, a free-form Canvas for composing content, and Records as your living vector database.
In a single lesson you’ll see how Metaflow’s four core aspects—Agents, Flows, Canvas, and Records fit together.
What You Will Learn
How each core concept—Flow, Agent, Canvas, Content Editor—contributes to a streamlined AI workflow.
When Metaflow is the right tool versus ad‑hoc prompting or traditional app connectors.
A first‑principles mental model for separating human judgement from machine execution.
A practical example of turning a scattered process into a reusable, version‑controlled Flow.
Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
Flow | A repeatable playbook (think “launch the webinar nurture” or “refresh our SEO winners”) broken into clear steps you can turn on or off. |
Agent | Your autopilot teammate. Give it a task - “qualify today’s inbound leads,” “summarize yesterday’s social chatter” and it runs autonomously looping actions until the goal is met. |
Canvas | A drag-and-drop workspace where you lay out the creative blueprint: headlines, images, and see LLM infuse content on the fly. |
Content Editor | Save your work to a native editor to furnish details and ship publishable formats. Doubles as a second brain that compounds context every run. |
Conclusion
You now have the lay of the land: what Metaflow is, where it excels, and the mental scaffolding behind its four building blocks. Up next, we’ll translate a real‑world marketing process into your first Flow—assign an Agent, wire up live data, and publish a record you can build on.
