# Get Started with Workflow Builder

Our no-code approach is anchored in a visual workflow builder that prioritizes ease of use. This is achieved through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, with built-in chatbot assistance, and an optimal level of abstraction that caters to both technical and non-technical teams. Search for nodes in the menu on the left, drop them onto the canvas, select parts of your workflow, and even copy/paste nodes across projects!

Technical teams can extend capabilities even further by using a custom “Code” node (e.g. Python), a custom “API” node, or by building their own tools to orchestrate LLM-driven actions (coming soon!).

Our users can integrate with a broad ecosystem of applications, enabling support for the most common use cases across departments.

StackAI also supports connections with MCP servers, allowing your workflows to use not only integrations developed by StackAI’s team, but also integrate with tools served by third parties using the MCP protocol.

Making LLMs take autonomous actions is very easy. Users can add ‘tools’ (e.g., function calling) directly in the LLM node by selecting the one they want from a long list of possible actions. More advanced users can also add their own custom tools.

### Ask Workflow

Users can interact with the assistant directly within the workflow builder to ask questions, get suggestions for improving their project, and easily access documentation for specific features.

All past conversations with the built-in workflow assistant can also be viewed in one place.
