Automations Overview [1:03]
The automations feature in Diaflow functions similarly to tools like Zapier, allowing you to create workflows triggered by various events. These workflows can be initiated through:
- Scheduled cron jobs
- Webhooks
- Third-party service integrations
Diaflow offers integrations with several services, including:
- Slack
- Outlook
- Telegram
- SERP API (for SEO-related tasks)
- SMTP (for email server triggers)
Setting up an automation is straightforward:
- Click "Create" to start a new automation
- Select a trigger (scheduled time, webhook, or external integration)
- Add actions by clicking the plus button
- Chain together different services and AI models
One of Diaflow's most powerful features is the ability to mix and match AI models within your automations. For example, you could use Claude for one part of your process where it excels, then pass the output to OpenAI for another task where that model might be more cost-effective.
Building Internal Apps [2:49]
Diaflow allows you to build custom internal tools for your business. You can either start from scratch or use one of their templates to get up and running quickly.
The template section includes various app types, though it's currently somewhat limited in scope. Most templates focus on simple tasks that could be accomplished with ChatGPT or Claude projects, but Diaflow adds more functionality and integration capabilities.
For example, the "Generate a social post from an article" template lets you simply input a URL rather than copying and pasting the entire article content. The system will:
- Scrape the web content from the URL
- Send the data to an AI model (like OpenAI)
- Generate the social media post based on your parameters
I tested this with an article from my website about Onvocado, and Diaflow quickly produced a social media post ready for use. The app interface allows for customization options like:
- Selecting the social media platform (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn)
- Including hashtags
- Including the original link
- Choosing the writing style
- Adding a call to action
- Including emojis
Once you've created an app, you can publish it with a URL that can be either public or private. This gives you a user-friendly interface to interact with your custom tool.
AI Agents and Chatbots [6:44]
One of Diaflow's standout features is its ability to create AI chatbots that can be trained on your specific business data. This is where the system's data storage capabilities become important.
Diaflow offers three main ways to store data:
- Tables (structured data)
- Drive (files and documents)
- Vectors (data formatted for LLMs)
For chatbots, vectors are the most useful data type. You can add information to vectors by:
- Uploading documents
- Adding articles
- Providing URLs
- Adding sitemaps to crawl entire websites
Vectors are organized into groups (essentially folders) allowing you to point your chatbot to specific sets of relevant information. For example, you could create a group containing all your product documentation, and then configure your customer support chatbot to reference that specific group.
Creating an AI agent is simple with Diaflow's interface:
- Choose between simple or advanced mode
- Configure response settings and custom instructions
- Set up the opening text
- Select your preferred AI engine (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Cohere, or Minstrel AI)
- Configure memory settings
- Choose knowledge sources (vector groups)
Once configured, you can test your chatbot by asking questions about your uploaded content. I tested mine by asking about the score Onvocado received in my review, and it correctly answered with "8.3 out of 10" by accessing the vector data.
Deploying your chatbot is flexible:
- Share a direct link for people to chat with your bot
- Add the chat widget to your website by pasting provided code snippets
- Embed it via an iframe
You can also customize the appearance of your chatbot with a name, icon, and description to ensure it aligns with your brand.
Pages and Documents [13:48]
The Pages feature in Diaflow allows you to create documents with AI assistance. You can:
- Create blank documents
- Generate responses to RFPs (Requests for Proposals)
- Generate blog posts
- Create contracts
The contract generation tool is particularly impressive, offering templates for:
- Sales contracts
- Employment contracts
- Service agreements
- Lease agreements
- Loan agreements
- Partnership agreements
- Sponsorship agreements
I tested the sponsorship agreement generator, and it created a comprehensive 5,000-word contract with 23 sections covering all essential aspects of a sponsorship deal.
For context on credit usage, this 5,000-word contract generation used approximately 281 credits out of my 6,000 monthly allocation, demonstrating that even complex document generation is relatively efficient.
The document editor itself is robust, feeling similar to the Lexical editor. You can write content directly, use AI to enhance sections, and export your documents in various formats:
- Word
- HTML
- Markdown
- Plain text
- Diaflow vectors (for use in chatbots or apps)
The editor supports different AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and can connect to your knowledge sources, allowing you to create documents based on your existing data.
Data Tables Feature [20:34]
Tables in Diaflow function as structured data storage that can be referenced by your apps, chatbots, and automations. They work similarly to spreadsheets, with columns and rows for organizing information.
Tables are ideal for data that doesn't fit well in vector format, such as contact information or structured records. You can easily:
- Add columns with different data types
- Add rows of information
- Query this data within your Diaflow tools
For example, you could create a table to store social media posts generated by your apps, then reference this table in other tools or automations you build.
Drive Storage [21:37]
Diaflow's Drive feature functions as cloud storage for various file types, including:
- Images
- Documents
- PDFs
- Other file formats
Files stored in Drive can be accessed and utilized within your automations and apps. For instance, you could create an automation that:
- Triggers at a specific time
- Converts a PDF to an image
- Saves the resulting image to Drive
This integration makes it easy to chain steps together in your workflows and manage files within the Diaflow ecosystem.
Final Thoughts and Rating [22:36]
Diaflow is an extremely powerful platform with impressive versatility. While you don't need to be a developer to use it, some logical thinking and technical aptitude will help you build useful automations and flows.
The platform could benefit from more templates to help users get started, but the built-in AI chatbot provides helpful guidance when building flows. This assistant was quite valuable as I learned how to connect different elements of the platform.
In terms of pricing, Diaflow is currently available on AppSumo as a lifetime deal with several tiers:
- Tier 1: 6,000 credits/month, 5 users, 5 automations, 5 apps/tools - $79
- Tier 2: 10,000 credits/month, 10 users, 12 automations, 12 apps/tools - ~$158
- Tier 3: 23,000 credits/month, 20 users, 30 automations, 30 apps/tools - ~$316
- Tier 4: 50,000 credits/month, 30 users, unlimited automations, unlimited apps/tools - $559
For AppSumo Plus members, there's an additional 10% discount on these prices.
Considering the capabilities and the lifetime nature of the deal, Diaflow represents excellent value compared to the ongoing costs of other AI tools. For reference, ChatGPT Pro costs around $20 per month, making the top tier of Diaflow equivalent to less than three years of that subscription.
I give Diaflow an 8.6 out of 10, placing it among the strongest tools I've reviewed recently on AppSumo.
If you're ready to go beyond simply copying and pasting from ChatGPT and want to build custom AI tools for your business, Diaflow is definitely worth considering. Just remember that the price is increasing in approximately four days from the recording of this video, so act quickly to secure the best deal.
