I spent nearly the entire day making, breaking, then remaking stuff in 3D, so my brain is sort of scrambled.

This was a very early wireframe when ideating an AI workflows tool for copy.ai.
I especially wanted to highlight the branching of thoughts and actions that would occur, as a workflow is rarely a simple, linear task.
