Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

And certainly we do a lot of that.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

So these automated backend integrations that you never interact with.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

But the more exciting thing where we're seeing a lot of growth is this idea of these lightweight apps that you can build really easily that will

become this kind of composed front end where taking an action in that app can execute multiple actions on multiple underlying systems.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

So it's a much more ergonomic way to work based on how your business is set up and the processes that you're trying to work through.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

And Flowgear has, I think, a big role to play there.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

To make that more concrete, AI has made it very easy to build front end very quickly and someone with

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

Essentially, no technical experience can build that.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

What's a little harder is figuring out the back end.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

So I build an app that needs to show a list of things I need to do, maybe orders I need to review before approving them or something to that effect.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

And I need the data for those orders to come from ERP, but perhaps augmented by some data from CRM where there's certain information that I don't have there.

The Digital Executive

And so Flowgear is a great way to create a backend that can do that safely without compromising on security.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

But it's a very ergonomic way for someone to work because previously they would have had to touch two separate apps to perform that process.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

And so where we're at today is you can be in an IDE and use an extension like Claude or Codex and ask it to build an app.

The Digital Executive

And as it needs to build backend, it actually creates Flowgear workflows on the fly from outside of the Flowgear platform.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

So the agent understands that it's a backend that is a safe way to connect into the customer system and just builds them on the fly.

And in many of these cases,

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

These users don't even need to sign into the platform.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

They've obviously got a login to the platform.

The Digital Executive
Daniel Chilcott: Inside Flowgear’s AI Integration Platform | Ep 1248

That's how it's able to compose these workflows, but it's kind of done for them at a distance.
