# Building Workflows

Automateo uses a node-based system for building workflows. Here's how to create your first workflow:

1. Click on "Workflows" link in the side menu, and then "Create" to start a new project.
2. You'll see a blank canvas where you can start building your workflow.
3. Drag and drop nodes onto the canvas. You'll have three types of nodes to work with: Input, LLM, and Output.
4. Connect the nodes by drawing lines between them. The output of one node becomes the input for the next.
5. Configure each node according to your needs (more details in the Node Types section).
6. Use "{}" separators in prompt templates to reference inputs from previous nodes.

Remember, the flow of data goes from left to right, starting with Input nodes, passing through LLM nodes, and ending with Output nodes.
