Use case: turn a weekly chore into a one-click workflow

Who it's for: anyone who does the same task every week, like a status update, a report, or a round-up for the team.

What you get: a workflow that does the task the same way every time, with one click or on a schedule. You can share it with a link.

Time to set up: about five minutes. No code.

The example

Every Friday, you write a short update about the week's meetings for your team. It takes 20 minutes of scrolling through your calendar. Let's hand it to Osaurus.

Build it

Here's the description you'll give Osaurus. Copy it, or write your own version.

1. Click Workflows, the second icon on the narrow strip along the left edge of the window.
2. Click New Workflow (or press ⌘N).
3. Paste your description where it asks What should this workflow do?, and press Return.
4. Answer the Architect's questions. The Architect is the helper that builds workflows. It may ask up to three short questions, like what you want back or whether it must stay on your Mac.
5. Watch the steps appear. The Design tab shows, in plain words, what the workflow does, what you fill in, and what you get back.
6. Click Set Up… if you see it. It means the workflow needs something first, like permission to read your calendar.
7. Click Test Run. The Test tab shows each step as it runs, then the result.

Make it right

Not quite what you wanted? Tell the Architect in the chat, just like you'd tell a colleague:

• "Make it shorter."
• "Group the meetings by project."
• "Add a line about anything that got rescheduled."

It changes the steps. Click Test Again until you like the result.

Save and schedule it

1. Click Save…. The save card shows what you built and the test that passed.
2. Leave "Then run it" ticked. Because you said "every Friday at 4 pm", the card already includes the schedule.
3. Click Save.

That's it. Your workflow is on the Workflows page and will run by itself every Friday at 4 pm, as long as Osaurus is open.

Tip: Say "keep this on my Mac" in your description and the Architect will only use models that run on your Mac.

Share it with your team

If a colleague does the same task, send them your workflow. They install it on their own Mac and run it with their own calendar and accounts. Your keys and data never leave your Mac.

1. Click Share… on the save card, or the … next to the workflow, then Publish….
2. Choose Publish to store.osaurus.ai.
3. Under Who can see it, choose Unlisted. Only people with the link can open it.
4. Click Publish, then copy the link.

Sharing sends the recipe, not your data. People see every step before anything installs.

Describe it well

The Architect works best when you say:

• What you want back: "a three-line summary", "a reply I can paste into Mail".
• What it starts from: "my unread mail", "the files in my Invoices folder".
• When it should run: "every weekday at 8", "whenever a new file lands in Downloads".

You don't need to name tools, models, or apps. The Architect picks them.

More workflows people build

• "Every Monday at 9, list the reminders I didn't finish last week."
• "When a new PDF lands in my Invoices folder, pull out the amount and due date."
• "Every evening at 6, write a short summary of today's meetings and what I promised to do."
• "Take a topic I type and write a LinkedIn post in my tone."
