End-to-end AI workflows

AI workflows you can draw on a whiteboard

Design Dev designs AI workflows as operational pipelines: triggers from forms, shops or inboxes; enrichment; generation; approval; write-back. If you cannot sketch the boxes, you cannot run the workflow in production.Not 12 disconnected Zaps with a model in the middle. One visible path, a named owner, a stop button.
01

Triggered AI workflows

Form, order, email or schedule in — structured work out of the workflow.
Triggered AI workflows
02

Approve-then-commit workflows

Drafts in a queue; systems of record update after a human (or a strict rule).
Approve-then-commit workflows
03

Cross-tool AI workflows

CRM, Drive, Slack/Teams, shop, finance — one visible workflow, not a pile of zaps.

04

Versioned workflow playbooks

Change the AI workflow without a mysterious prompt buried in a zap nobody owns.
Versioned workflow playbooks

A clear AI workflow process from whiteboard to production

01

Map the workflow path

Triggers, volumes, SLAs, exceptions — happy path and mess.

02

Design the workflow boxes

What is rules, what is a model, what is a person in this AI workflow.

03

Implement & observe

Retries, dead letters, notifications when the workflow is stuck.

04

Pilot with one team

Measure cycle time and error for this workflow, not vibes.

05

Handover the workflow

Who edits the AI workflow next month. Unowned pipes die.

An AI workflow is not 12 disconnected Zaps with a model in the middle

Fragile click-ops dies when someone goes on holiday. We build AI workflows with ownership, logging and a picture of the path.Design Dev uses the right level of tooling — pragmatic automation to custom queues — so the workflow is understandable.

  • Explicit triggers and SLAs
  • Rules vs generation separated in the workflow
  • Approval on irreversible writes
  • Dead-letter queues
  • Named owner per AI workflow
  • Versioning of prompts and steps
  • Cost visibility per workflow
  • Runbooks for blocked items

Complete AI workflow capabilities

Trigger to write-back — AI workflow pipelines with an owner, an approval step and a stop button.

01

Lead-to-CRM AI workflows

Enrich, score, draft, assign — then a human where it counts.

02

Content-ops AI workflows

Brief → draft → review → publish assist as a visible pipeline.

03

Order-exception workflows

When Shopify/Woo throws a case humans must see.

04

Onboarding AI workflows

Internal checklists with generated drafts and an owner per box.

05

Support-to-CRM workflows

Ticket in, structured fields out, assignment rules explicit.

06

Invoice-to-finance workflows

Extract, review, post — the workflow is the control.

07

QA sampling in the workflow

Review a percentage of AI steps before they commit.

08

Workflow notifications

The right channel when a box is stuck.

09

Custom workflow engines

When Zap-style tools cannot express the AI workflow rules.

10

Dead-letter handling

Poison messages do not vanish. The workflow surfaces them.

11

Workflow documentation

So the AI workflow survives the original builder.

12

AI workflow retainers

Volumes change, tools change, prompts drift.

Why Design Dev

A London team that will draw the AI workflow boxes before the prompts

Design Dev builds AI workflows as operations, not magic. Triggers, approvals and owners come first. Models fill the language-shaped holes.If the organisation has no owner for the process, we will not hide that behind a zap.

A London team that will draw the AI workflow boxes before the prompts

Strategy, design and engineering for brands that need a website that performs.

01

Whiteboard first

If you cannot sketch the AI workflow, you cannot run it. Boxes before prompts.

02

One owner per workflow

Holiday-proof. A zap only one contractor understands is a risk, not a workflow.

03

Approve then commit

Generation is cheap. Write-back to customers and CRM is the expensive step.

04

Visible when it sticks

Dead letters and notifications. Silent AI workflows are how work disappears.

FAQ

AI workflow FAQs

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often about scope, timelines, and how we work.

Sometimes a well-built automation tool is enough. Sometimes you need queues and a custom app. We pick the boring option ops can own — and we still call it an AI workflow when generation sits in the path.
