AI Builder Workflow Generation Is Now Significantly Faster

AI Builder in SMBcrm is now dramatically faster when generating workflows from prompts. In most cases, your first workflow draft appears in under 5 to 10 seconds, making it practical to iterate quickly and test multiple approaches.

Why Speed Matters

Faster generation directly impacts how useful AI Builder is in practice. When you can see results in seconds rather than waiting, you are more likely to experiment with different prompts, refine your approach, and move from concept to working automation faster.

This is especially valuable during:

  • First-time exploration when you are learning what AI Builder can do
  • Rapid prototyping when testing different workflow structures
  • Onboarding when setting up automations for a new account or team

What This Update Covers

The performance improvement currently applies to workflow generation from placeholder prompts. The team plans to extend these speed improvements across all prompt types in upcoming releases.

Use Cases

Teams leveraging workflows for automated follow-ups, lead nurturing, appointment reminders, and internal processes will benefit from moving from idea to working prototype more quickly. Instead of waiting and context-switching, you can stay in the builder and iterate in real time.

How to Enable AI Builder

If AI Builder is not already active in your account, enable it through Settings > Labs > Company > Workflow AI Builder. Once enabled, you will see the AI Builder option when creating or editing workflows.
