The Builder

The Builder is GloriaMundo's main workspace for creating and editing workflows.

Interface Layout

The builder has two main areas:

  • Left panel — Chat interface for describing what you want to automate
  • Right panel — Visual workflow editor showing your workflow as a graph

Chat Panel

The chat panel is where you interact with GloriaMundo's AI. Type a description of what you want to automate, and the AI will generate a complete workflow.

Chat vs Build Mode

GloriaMundo automatically detects your intent:

  • Build mode — When you describe an automation, GloriaMundo generates or modifies a workflow
  • Chat mode — When you ask a question, GloriaMundo responds conversationally without modifying the workflow

You don't need to switch modes manually. The AI determines the appropriate response based on your message.

Adding Context

You can provide additional context to improve workflow generation:

  • Projects — Organise workflows into projects with shared settings and documents
  • Documents — Upload files (PDF, DOCX, CSV, JSON, images, code files) that the AI can reference when building workflows. Maximum 10MB per file.
  • Links — Share URLs for the AI to reference

Workflow Graph

The right panel displays your workflow as a directed graph of nodes connected by edges.

  • Each node represents a step in the workflow
  • Edges show the flow of data between steps
  • Parallel branches are displayed side by side
  • The trigger node (manual, scheduled, or webhook) appears at the top

Node Colours

Node borders indicate connection status:

  • Green border — Connected and ready
  • Red border — Connection required or missing
  • Click a node to open the editing drawer
  • Ctrl+[ / Ctrl+] — Navigate between nodes
  • + / - — Zoom in/out (10% increments)
  • 0 — Fit to view
  • 1 — Zoom to 100%
  • Use trackpad gestures: two-finger scroll to pan, pinch to zoom

Layout Controls

  • Lock layout — Prevents accidental node repositioning (orange dashed border when locked)
  • Reset layout — Returns nodes to their default positions
  • Grid snap — Nodes snap to grid when dragged

View Modes

Toggle between Graph view (visual) and JSON view (raw workflow definition) using the view switcher.

Toolbar

The builder toolbar contains the primary action buttons. These change based on your workflow state:

Before Simulation

The toolbar shows a Simulate button. Click it to run a Virtual Run preview.

After Simulation

Once a Virtual Run completes successfully, the toolbar changes based on your trigger type:

Trigger Type Primary Button
Manual Run
Scheduled (cron) Schedule
Webhook Activate

Additional controls appear:

  • Simulate Again — Re-run the Virtual Run after making changes
  • Autonomy toggle — Switch between "Ask me first" and "Run without asking" modes

Mobile Experience

The builder works on mobile devices with:

  • Minimum 44px touch targets
  • Long-press for context menus
  • Swipe between Chat and Workflow views

Tips

  • Start with a clear, specific prompt — include what data to use, where to get it, and where to send results
  • Use Virtual Run to preview before running for real
  • Lock the layout once you're happy with node positions to prevent accidental changes
  • Use keyboard shortcuts for faster navigation between nodes
