Cosmic AI Workflows
Mission Control for Multi-Agent Automation
Cosmic AI Workflows turns the Cosmic CMS from a passive content database into an active automation engine. Instead of running single AI prompts, it allows you to chain multiple specialized agents together to perform complex, multi-step operations. You can define a workflow where a Content Agent drafts a blog post, passes it to a Code Agent to update the website repository, and finally triggers a Computer Use Agent to take a screenshot of the preview site—all in one sequence. With built-in approval gates and event triggers, it enables you to automate critical business logic with the safety of human review.
Key Features
- Multi-Agent Orchestration: Chain distinct agent types (Content, Code, Computer Use) into a single pipeline, passing context and data from one step to the next.
- Human-in-the-Loop: Insert “Approval Gates” between steps to pause execution until a human reviews the output (e.g., approving a draft before publishing).
- Event-Driven Triggers: Automatically launch workflows based on CMS events (like “Object Created”) or run them on a recurring schedule (Daily/Weekly).
- Visual Builder: Drag-and-drop interface to define dependencies, ensuring Step B only runs if Step A succeeds.
User Workflow
- Define: Use the visual builder to create a sequence (e.g., “Research Topic” → “Draft Article” → “Create Pull Request”).
- Trigger: Set the workflow to run every Monday morning or whenever a new “Product” object is added to the CMS.
- Review: The workflow pauses at the “Approval” step; you receive a notification, check the AI’s work, and click “Proceed” to finish the job.
Use Cases
- Content Publishing Pipelines: A workflow that researches a topic, drafts an article, generates an SEO image, and schedules it for review.
- Software Development: Automatically creating a new branch, writing code for a requested feature, and running tests via a Computer Use agent.
- Data Enrichment: Triggering a workflow to “enhance” new CMS entries by scraping external data and updating the record automatically.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Native integration with your content/CMS (no need to move data to Zapier), supports complex “Human-in-the-loop” logic, combines code and content generation.
- Cons: Steeper learning curve than simple tools like Zapier, requires being in the Cosmic ecosystem to maximize value.
Pricing
- Free Plan: Up to 2 Agents per project (Manual triggers only).
- Paid Plans: Unlocks Scheduled Triggers and higher agent limits (Tiered pricing).
How Does It Compare?
vs. Zapier / Make
Zapier is great for connecting different apps (e.g., Gmail to Slack). Cosmic is optimized for deep content and code operations. Zapier moves data around; Cosmic actually creates the content and code using specialized agents. Cosmic also offers “Computer Use” agents (browser automation) which Zapier lacks.
vs. LangChain / LangGraph
LangChain is a code library for Python/JS developers to build agents from scratch. It offers infinite flexibility but requires heavy engineering maintenance. Cosmic AI Workflows is a managed platform—you get the power of multi-agent orchestration without writing the underlying infrastructure code.
vs. CrewAI / AutoGPT
These are open-source frameworks for autonomous agents. They are powerful but often unstable or difficult to “productionize.” Cosmic provides a stable, hosted environment with built-in state management, logs, and human approval steps, making it safer for business-critical workflows.
Final Thoughts
Cosmic AI Workflows represents the next evolution of the Headless CMS. It acknowledges that content management is no longer just about storing text, but about generating and acting on it. For teams already using Cosmic, this feature eliminates the need for external automation tools like Zapier or custom Python scripts, bringing the “Agentic Future” directly into your content dashboard.
