Knots Flow: Workflow automation

Introducing Flow: How complex work does itself

Flow connects your tools and workflows so processes keep running automatically. You decide the rules. AI does the work.

What is Flow?

Flow is an AI-powered system for running real business processes

The Knots Flow user interface.

Fragmented inputs, edge cases, and variability are normal in real, day-to-day work. Flow is built for that reality.

Flow can chain multiple AI steps together and apply rules at each step for control. AI interprets messy information and uncertainty. Rules enforce correctness and consistency. Together, they run processes from intake to resolution, anywhere teams are involved.

Get outcomes. Not Projects.

Automation shouldn’t feel like a project

Most automations are built around fixed steps. Flow is built for real-world complexity while following rules you define.

Traditional Step-Based Automations

  • Assume clean inputs and predictable paths
  • Break when inputs, fields, or edge cases don’t match expectations
  • Require ongoing fixes and cleanups
  • Fail when something unexpected happens

  • Uses AI to handle messy inputs and exceptions without breaking
  • Reaches the right outcome even when situations don’t line up
  • Runs without constant maintenance
  • Completes work instead of failing silently

Capabilities for reliable automation

How Flow does work

Flow uses AI and rules to understand requests, pull out what matters, and carry work across systems through to completion.

STEP 1

Understand the work

Knots Flow first scans all requests and documents to understand the context behind the work.

Flow uses AI to understand what a request is about and what happens next.

STEP 2

Collect the information

Flow begins collecting information required to complete work from infrastructure connected to the platform.

Flow reads emails, forms, and attachments and extracts details needed to move forward.

STEP 3

Make the decision

Flow's connected LLMs make decisions based on both the context of the work and the rules or policies that must be applied.

Flow reads emails, forms, and attachments and extracts details needed to move forward.

STEP 4

Complete the work

Flow carries out the work end-to-end after arriving at the correct decision.

Flow carries the request across support tools, messaging, commerce, and internal systems.

STEP 5

Repeat the process

New tasks can be triggered any time to repeat the Flow consistently.

Flow runs work the same way every time, even as inputs change.

Example Outcomes

What Flow handles for you​

Common business processes that won’t remain ongoing work.

Inbox triage and sorting
Knots takes messy context from various sources, sorts it, and routes it to the correct inboxes.

Knots extracts and structures key information from messy sources — PDFs, scans, emails, and attachments. Whether it’s invoice data in a DOCX, a table in an Excel file, or embedded content in scanned PDFs, our tools get it ready for automation instantly.

Flow handling information.

Flow pulls together information from messages, attachments, forms, and files so required details are already filled in. Fields update automatically and data stays consistent, without manual copy-paste or cleanup.

Knots takes messy context from various sources, sorts it, and routes it to the correct inboxes.

People no longer have to interpret rules, remember edge cases, or decide what should happen next. Decisions follow your rules every time, without escalations or back-and-forth.

Flow carries information between tools.

Information no longer needs to be copied from one tool into another just to keep things moving. Changes are applied without updating tickets, spreadsheets, or internal tools by hand.

As teams scale and workflows get more complex, someone has to keep the process consistent. That usually means special cases, temporary rules, or workarounds to keep things moving. Flow handles that automatically, so the same process runs without constant patching.

Automation you can trust

Secure, compliant, and enterprise-ready. We work with sensitive data and complex systems every day. That’s why security and scalability are at the core of every Knots solution.

Adjust when needed

Change rules or logic without rebuilding workflows or intervening after every run.

No forced rebuilds

Start with specific workflows and expand as processes evolve, without having to redesign your entire organization or tech stack.

AI where it helps

Use AI to analyze communications, classify work, handle variations, and reduce manual effort while maintaining full oversight.
