Reasoning for

Part of the automation toolbox alongside Make. Key advantage over Make: self-hosting option for clients with data sensitivity requirements.

Used in:

• AI workflow orchestration (LLM chains, RAG pipelines)
• Client projects at PLSoft
• Internal automation at Qamera AI

Alternatives considered

• Make — easier UI, but cloud-only
• Zapier — simplest but most expensive, limited for complex flows
