AI Workflow

A repeatable sequence of AI-assisted steps for producing a specific output, with a clear human checkpoint instead of an unsupervised end-to-end automation.

An AI workflow is the practical unit taught across every trade school in this ecosystem: not a single prompt, but a repeatable sequence (gather, draft, review, refine, ship) that uses AI for speed at the steps that benefit from it and keeps a human decision point at the steps that don't.

A good AI workflow is documented well enough that someone else can run it and get a comparable result, the same way a recipe works regardless of who's cooking.

In Practice

The workflow behind this site's glossary entries: gather the term and its relationships, draft the four content fields, review for accuracy and tone, then publish as a structured JSON record with its own canonical URL.

Worth Knowing

A workflow that removes the human checkpoint entirely stops being controlled and starts being just automation, which is exactly the failure mode Controlled AI Speed to Market is designed to prevent.
