Getting started

From sign-up to a running AI workflow in under a minute. No infrastructure to set up, no API keys required on the free tier.

1. Create your account

Go to smelt.gimzware.ai/studio and sign in with Google, GitHub, or Microsoft. Your free account is created instantly - no credit card required.

The free tier includes 3 workflows, 100 executions per month, 75K managed AI credits, and the full set of shipped integration connectors.

2. Create a project

Projects group related workflows together. Click + New in the sidebar to create your first project. Give it a name and optional description.

3. Start a workflow

Two ways to start:

  • Templates - pick a ready-to-use workflow (customer support triage, code review, market research, and more). One click to deploy. See the Templates page for the full list.
  • Blank canvas - open an empty workflow and build from scratch.

4. Build your workflow

The visual builder is an interactive canvas where you drag blocks and connect them:

  • Press the + handle on a block to open the palette beside it, then click what you want to add next. Choose from agent blocks (Research, Reasoning, LLM, Auto Agent), control blocks (Approval Gate, Conditional, Switch, Loop), or integration connectors (Slack, Gmail, GitHub, and more).
  • Connect blocks by dragging from one handle to another. Data flows through connections automatically using the {{block-id.output}} template syntax.
  • Configure each block by clicking it. Agent blocks have a prompt and model selector. Integration blocks have a connection picker and action selector.

Your workflow autosaves every second. Use Cmd+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z to undo and redo changes.

5. Run and monitor

Click the Run button in the toolbar. Your workflow executes block by block with real-time updates:

  • Each block shows a status indicator - grey (pending), amber (running), green (completed), red (failed).
  • The Trace panel (toggle in toolbar) shows a chronological event log with timestamps, duration, and block type.
  • Live counters in the toolbar show elapsed time and credits used.

6. Review results

Click any completed block to see its output. Failed blocks show the error message. The full run history is available in your project view.
