Key takeaway
Choose the template closest to your first workflow, not the one with the flashiest demo.

Templates make AI adoption easier because they give you a starting workflow pattern. The decision is not which template is most advanced. The decision is which template best matches the workflow you can launch first.

Start with the workflow goal

  • Approved knowledge exists
  • Workflow owner is clear
  • First channel is known
  • Handoff path is realistic
  • Action or output is defined
  • Success metric is simple

Match template type to behavior

Public template labels

  • Conversational Agent for answer, guide, qualify, recommend, and handoff experiences
  • AI Automation for input, AI task, output, review, and repeatable production
  • Workflow Automation for triggers, rules, actions, handoff, and outcomes

Pick one first metric

  • Resolved questions
  • Recommendation engagement
  • Qualified leads
  • Content approval rate

A template is a starting structure, not a finished business process.
