This manual is about the Workflows Creator application, not about Mistika Runner, which has its own Mistika Runner manual.  For clarity, the Mistika Workflows suite has several applications:

 

Mistika Runner is a simple web application acting as a simple front end for Workflows Creator. It can only execute workflow templates that were created in Workflows Creator (which is the application ultimately executing them). Workflows Runner is very simple as it is designed to be used by any kind of users without receiving any training (reading its whole "manual" only takes 2 minutes ...). Basically they can only select a workflow template that was prepared for them, answer the questions, and execute it.

 

Workflows Creator is the whole workflows designer application, also including the render engine. Among other things, in Workflows  Creator you can create workflow templates to be called from the Workflows Runner, but you can also execute them directly with much more control (and logically with more complexity and learning efforts required).  The Workflows Creator interface also has a few menus for connectivity with Mistika Runner that are documented in this manual.

In addition, Workflows Creator can be used by supported AI agents and LLM models via the included MCP and connectivity plugins, which are installed automatically (when a supported AI platform is detected). At the date of this document this feature is supported for Claude Desktop and LM Studio, but more AI platforms are being added.

 

Specialized web portals (Workflows Bridge, Workflows Slate, ...) and plugins for 3rd party apps (not documented here, as they have their own documentation). These are specialized front-end portals that will typically submit files to Workflows Creator for posterior processing.
