Blueprints

Blueprints map business requirements to the Workato assets a solution needs. You can start with a complete requirements document, such as a product requirements document or business requirements document, or with a high-level concept, and AIRO works with you to fill in gaps and refine your requirements.

How it works

AIRO breaks your requirements into subprocesses that represent the major parts of the solution. You review and confirm the subprocesses, then AIRO generates a blueprint with the assets it identified for the solution. You can explore each asset in the blueprint to understand its purpose and build it with AIRO's guidance and Workato best practices.

Key benefits

Blueprints help you:

  • Skip manual planning for complex automation projects
  • Apply Workato best practices from the start
  • Identify required assets before you begin building
  • Turn high-level requirements into an actionable implementation plan in minutes

Access your blueprints

You can access your blueprints by going to Projects > Blueprints.

Supported assets

AIRO can build the following assets from blueprints:

  • Recipes
  • Recipe functions
  • API recipes
  • Genies
  • Skills
  • MCP servers

AIRO can't build the following asset types from a blueprint:

  • Event topics
  • Lookup tables
  • Data tables
  • Message templates
  • Common data models
  • Data pipelines
  • Workflow apps

KNOWLEDGE BASES

Knowledge bases aren't part of a blueprint's asset map. If a genie in the blueprint requires a knowledge base, AIRO creates or updates it separately and attaches it directly to the genie.

Build order

Assets in a blueprint are built in dependency order, not the order in which they appear in the blueprint. For example:

  • Recipe functions are built before recipes that call them.
  • Skills are built before genies or MCP servers that use them.
  • API recipes and recipe functions are built before MCP servers that expose them.
  • Genies are built after their required skills and knowledge bases are available.

This ensures each asset's dependencies are ready before it's built.
