The Manor workflow editor: a weekly client update that starts every Monday, reads the brief, has an agent draft the update, checks the sources, waits for the owner and sends with Gmail

How a workflow works

6 step types
The same workflow while it runs: finished steps turn green and the owner review step is in progress

Watch it run. Each step lights up as it finishes, so you can see where a run is and why. Runs on a schedule or when something comes in.

FAQ

5 questions

What are AI workflow templates?

An AI workflow template is a documented, repeatable job for AI agents: what you give it, what it should produce, what to connect first, and which steps wait for a person's approval. You adapt it to your own sources instead of designing the workflow from scratch.

Where can I find AI agent templates?

Manor documents its AI agent templates on this page, grouped by goal. Installable workspace Blueprints are listed in the public Manor Workspace Marketplace. If you have built a workflow that works, you can publish it as a Blueprint through the Manor Creators program.

Which AI workflow template should a small business start with?

Start with a frequent job a person can check in a few minutes, such as Gmail triage and reply drafts, a follow-up queue, lead qualification, a weekly client update, or a weekly business report.

What should stay behind approval?

Customer-facing sends, refunds, pricing, discounts, purchase orders, legal wording, account changes, scheduling promises, hiring decisions, and any answer without a supporting source should wait for a person, at least until the workflow has proven reliable.

How much does it cost to use a template in Manor?

Plans and usage are shown in the Manor app before you start a workspace. The Manor FAQ covers current pricing questions.
