Powerful Concept, Frustrating Execution: The Learning Curve Is Too Steep
The promise of this platform—creating multi-step AI workflows, or "Content Factories" (Planner → Writer → SEO)—is phenomenal. The quality of output you get by delegating tasks sequentially is far superior to single-prompt generations. The core concept is 5 stars.
However, the user experience for building these linear workflows is difficult and non-intuitive, which dramatically reduces the star rating.
The Challenges:
Ambiguous Terminology: Key actions lack clarity (e.g., struggling to confirm that "Generate Text" is the correct action for all AI tasks).
Difficult Chaining: Setting up the essential dependencies (making the "Previous Step Output" flow into the next step's "Input") is cumbersome. It requires specific, error-prone naming and lacks any visual confirmation, which makes troubleshooting and building simple linear chains unnecessarily frustrating. I wasted a significant amount of time figuring out how to build a basic 3-step pipeline.
Summary: The power is there, but the learning curve is too steep due to poor UX and ambiguous labeling. I hope the developers focus on making the workflow builder more visual and intuitive, especially for chaining basic sequential steps. Fix the UI, and this is a category killer.

Nov 25, 2025Hi there,
Thank you for this honest and precise review. While we are glad you see the 5-star potential in the "Content Factory" concept, we fully accept that the execution needs to match that promise.
You hit the nail on the head: we have been moving incredibly fast to ship features, and frankly, our UX and documentation haven't caught up yet. That is on us.
We hear you loud and clear. For the next 4 weeks, our entire engineering focus is shifting to Stability, UX, and Documentation. We are pausing new features to fix exactly the friction points you mentioned.
A Quick Tip for Chaining:
Regarding the "Previous Step Output" frustration—you can actually press # inside any input field (or click the + button on the right) to instantly pull up a list of variables from previous steps. We know this isn't obvious enough yet, and we are working to make it clearer in the UI.
In the meantime, we have curated a "Getting Started" playlist that covers these fundamental concepts visually:

We are also filming a brand new "Fundamentals" series right now to improve onboarding. I hope you will stick with us to see these improvements roll out!
Best,
Sean
