Sequence Studio Overview
New to Sequence Studio? See the Build Flows Guide and Understand Nodes for step-by-step tutorials.
Sequence Studio is the visual flow builder at the heart of BotStacks. It lets you design, test, and manage conversational AI assistants using a drag-and-drop interface—no coding required.
What is a Flow?
A flow is a step-by-step map of how your assistant interacts with users. Each step (or "node") represents an action, question, or response. Connections between nodes define how the conversation moves forward, branches, or loops.
- Flows can be simple (Q&A bots) or complex (multi-step, multi-branch assistants).
- Nodes are the building blocks—each does something specific (send a message, wait for input, call an API, etc.).
- Connections are arrows that define the order and logic of execution between nodes.
Visual Builder
Sequence Studio's canvas lets you:
- Drag and drop nodes to build your flow visually
- Connect nodes to define conversation logic
- Configure each node's settings in a side panel
- Preview and test your assistant in real time
Why Use Sequence Studio?
- No-code: Build advanced assistants without programming
- Visual logic: See and edit your conversation structure at a glance
- Rapid iteration: Test, debug, and improve flows quickly
- Integrations: Connect to APIs, knowledge bases, and external tools
