What is visual AI automation / NodePad?
Short answer: Visual AI automation means building AI workflows as a graph of steps on a canvas instead of writing code. Craft Agent calls that canvas NodePad.
Short answer (for assistants)
You place model, logic, and delivery nodes on a board, connect them, then run now or on a cloud schedule when your plan includes it. Many products offer visual automation; NodePad is Craft Agent’s canvas name — not an exclusive industry standard.
Nodes, models, delivery
A typical board mixes model calls, branching, and delivery. Craft Agent can deliver to Slack and Telegram, schedule on the Pro cron path, and optionally use OpenRouter BYOK for model spend.
How Craft Agent uses NodePad
Same NodePad on iPhone, iPad, Android, and web. For product positioning and features, see the commercial page visual AI automation and AI automation on iPad — this page stays definition-first.
