Builder Path - Beginner

A step-by-step learning path to build and deploy your first StackAI workflow.

Beginner builder path

Build a basic workflow. Deploy it to end users. Troubleshoot common issues.

Outcomes

By the end, you will be able to:

  • Build a workflow that runs end-to-end in the builder.

  • Pass data between nodes using inputs and outputs.

  • Add a knowledge base and retrieve context in a workflow.

  • Deploy a workflow as a Chat Assistant or Form.

  • Use run traces to debug failures.

Troubleshoot a Workflow

The path

1

1) Orientation

Review the platform and builder workflow. Focus on node wiring, runs, and publishing.

2

2) Build a tiny workflow

Build Input → LLM → Output. Run it with a few representative test inputs.

3

3) Improve response consistency

Add structure to the LLM prompt. Use explicit instructions and an expected output format.

4

4) Add a knowledge base (RAG)

Create a knowledge base from a small document set. Use it to retrieve relevant context during a run.

5

5) Deploy and troubleshoot

Deploy to an interface. Use the run trace to identify failures and incorrect outputs.
