AI Process Designer Generation Modes

Generation modes give you more control over your AI Process Designer output by enabling you to choose the level of interpretation used by the AI depending on your use case and type of input.

The two generation modes are:

  • Creative Mode – best for generating new flows from scratch or for processes that are not already well-defined. The AI Process Designer may take more liberty to be creative: removing steps it deems redundant, summarizing content, filling in gaps, etc.
  • Strict Mode – best for converting existing, well-defined processes, such as SOPs, to visual flows. The AI Process Designer will take less creative freedom, splitting the input text into steps verbatim.

This article provides guidance on how to select the best generation mode for your specific use case.

When to use each generation mode

Use Creative Mode if... Use Strict Mode if...
The input is unstructured or loosely defined.

The input is structured and well-defined with:

  • Clear steps
  • Concise statements written exactly as you expect them to appear in the flow
You expect the text to be summarized in the flow. The process contains critical details that must be retained verbatim in the flow (i.e. avoid summarization).
You are creating a new process from scratch and looking for AI Process Designer to recommend steps from a basic description. You are converting an existing, well-defined process to a visual flow.
Structure matters more than exact wording. You are creating compliance-sensitive workflows where exact wording matters.

Common input types by generation mode

Creative Mode Strict Mode
SME interview transcripts/debrief notes Clean, concise step lists (e.g. SME entering steps in the input box exactly as they should appear)
Unstructured or partially structured content Content already edited for clarity and order
Long-form, conversational text
Short prompts for creation of new processes

Input Characteristics: Creative vs Strict Mode

Input Characteristic Creative Mode Strict Mode
Conversational or narrative ✅ Will attempt to interpret and form into a process flow ❌ Likely to fail
Requires summarization ✅ Designed for this ❌ Avoid
Already written as steps ✅ Optional ✅ Ideal
Verbatim accuracy required ⚠️ Not guaranteed ✅ Guaranteed
Contains filler or repetition ✅ Filters it ❌ Captures it
