## What is Decisional?

Decisional helps you build and operate AI agents for business workflows. You describe the work in natural language in the Decisional web app, and the agent builds, tests, runs, monitors, and repairs workflows across the apps and data you authorize.

<Card title="Core Philosophy" icon="lightbulb">
  **Describe what you want automated, then keep the work inspectable.** Agents build workflows, connect to tools, test before they go live, and expose runs, nodes, files, approvals, and tool activity so you can see what happened.
</Card>

## Dex and agents

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Dex" icon="message">
    Dex is the conversational operator for your workspace. Use Dex for one-off work, questions, running agents, viewing agent details, and run review.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agents" icon="robot">
    Agents are the durable workers. Each one owns instructions, workflow, tools, sources, triggers, runs, and approval policy.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Automation Spectrum

Decisional addresses the full automation spectrum: Dex handles plain-English assistant work, Automation Agents run complex recurring processes, and each workflow can still use deterministic steps when a rule, trigger, approval, or API call is the right tool for the job.

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="AI Assistant" icon="message">
    Use Dex for one-off reasoning, drafting, questions, and work across the tools in your workspace. For recurring work, create a reusable agent in the Decisional web app.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Agentic Workflow" icon="robot">
    Automation Agents build, test, run, monitor, and repair purpose-built workflows. They plan across steps, handle exceptions, recover from failures, and keep run history visible.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Non-AI Workflow" icon="check">
    Not every step needs a model. Agents can use deterministic workflow steps for known paths, including triggers, schedules, API calls, file operations, approvals, and structured outputs.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Why Decisional?

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Just Talk to It" icon="message">
    Describe what you want in plain English. Dex can handle one-off work, run agents, and show agent or run details.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Works with Your Apps" icon="plug">
    Connect your business tools, files, and triggers. Agents use the systems you authorize.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Runs End to End" icon="check">
    Agents can build, test, run, monitor, and repair purpose-built workflows with visible run history.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Understands Your Documents" icon="brain">
    Upload documents and spreadsheets as sources so agents can use the right context for the job.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Describe the Work">
    Describe what you want automated in the Decisional web app. Upload relevant documents or spreadsheets for context.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build the Workflow">
    Decisional creates an inspectable workflow, connects the right tools, and tests the workflow before it goes live.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Policy and Approvals">
    See exactly what your agent will do before it goes live. Approve actions, set approval policy, or edit the workflow in the Decisional web app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Let It Run">
    Your agent can run from triggers, schedules, public run links, or on demand. Monitor progress through runs, node logs, outputs, and chat.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Makes Decisional Different

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Powerful" icon="bolt">
    Dex handles one-off work, agent runs, and run review. Agents can use connected tools, files, triggers, and skills to read, write, generate outputs, and keep work moving across business systems.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Reliable" icon="shield-check">
    Decisional pairs AI judgment with inspectable workflow steps. Agents build and test workflows before they go live, show node-level execution, and can diagnose failed runs, retry transient errors, patch code-level issues, or ask for missing human input.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Auditable" icon="clipboard-check">
    Every run leaves a trail. Teams can review run history, workflow steps, node logs, files, approvals, tool calls, usage, and agent-level credit activity, then adjust the automation from the same workspace.
