The Automate Studio application is Veritone's implementation of Node-Red, a node-based workflow designer.
In addition to aiWARE's built-in nodes, Automate Studio offers access to a library of 5,000+ nodes contributed by the Node-RED community, enabling easy integration with popular third-party services.
Each Automate flow can be used in Service mode, allowing you to employ a designated aiWARE HTTP endpoint for sending POST requests to, or alternatively, you can deploy and run it as an engine in our AI Processing clusters within a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) alongside other engines.
Access Automate Studio
-
To access Automate Studio, log in to your aiWARE account, and from the header bar, select the application switcher 
and then Automate Studio 
.
- In the upper left corner, click the New Flow button to open the flow editor.
- Give the flow a name and click Create Flow. The flow editor appears.
User interface
(1) Node palette: The panel to the left of the canvas that lists available node types by section. You can use File > Manage Palette to enable/disable, add, remove, or update nodes. You can use the search bar on the top of the palette to filter the list and search for specific nodes.
(2) Toolbar: The gray bar above the canvas where you access common features like deploying, saving, or exporting a flow.
(3) Canvas: The gridded workspace in the center of the screen where you design and run flows. It's organized by tabs located at the top - one for each individual flow. You can configure it using some basic settings available at File > Settings.
(4) Debug and info: The panel to the right of the canvas that lists the selected node's specifications, description, requirements, and expected input and output. You can also select the bug or help buttons to access debug information or help documents.
Nodes
The node palette features a list of color-coded nodes that can be dragged and dropped into the canvas area to create a flow. Nodes represent discrete steps in a flow.
A flow should contain at least:
- one input node (indicated by a V to the left in the node piece)
- one functional node (indicated by an f to the left in the node piece)
- one output node (indicated by a V to the right in the node piece)
For an explanation of each node and what it does:
- Click the book icon in the right-side debug panel.
- Choose node-red.
- Scroll through the list to find the node to define, or drag a node onto the canvas. The definition of the node will appear on the right side.
