I spent nearly the entire day making, breaking, then remaking stuff in 3D, so my brain is sort of scrambled.
But, since none of that is ready to share, here are some details from an AI workflow tool that didn't end up looking like this when it launched. Minimal but meaningful.

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.
