For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license.
Best for: An automation graph with undo and redo, a canvas lock, snap to grid, a minimap and an Update button that tracks unsaved edits
When to use
- An editable node canvas for automation workflows or AI agent steps, with a side inspector per step
- A run view for a scheduled data pipeline: task states, retries and a human approval gate
- A driver map that ties initiatives to the input metrics and north star they are meant to move
When not to use
- An LLM agent drawn as a top down tree with named branch paths and a test run: use the AI Agent Builder block
- Watching a scheduled job run task by task, with retries and an approval hold: use the Pipeline Run Monitor block
- An overview page of KPI tiles, charts and work lists with no editable node graph: use the Dashboard blocks
- A first run setup sequence that walks a new user through screens one at a time: use the Onboarding blocks
- Operating live AI agent runs: tool permissions, approvals and evaluation reports: use the Agents blocks
