We built the same idea for operations: every process in one place, every step in the open.
Each template is a working workflow. Swap the apps, the limits and the people, then test it with your own documents.

For one department getting started.
For operations across departments.

No. Anyone in your company can approve from Slack, email or the inbox. You pay for people who build and edit workflows.
Stoa Reader, a document model hosted in the EU. Your documents are not used for training. Enterprise plans can point AI steps at a private endpoint.
The step retries three times over about twelve minutes. If it still fails, the run stops at that step, the owner is told, and you can retry from there once the app is back.
Most teams rebuild from a template in an afternoon. For larger moves, we import JSON exports and map the steps with you.
