What a workflow is and when it pays off

Lesson 7.1 of 45 Video 1 min read Updated Oct 14, 2026

A chain of steps that runs as a single model, from the web or the API. It pays off when you repeat the same sequence. Requires the Pro plan or higher.

A workflow chains several tools into a single step: for example, generate a design, remove its background and build a grid with the variants. Once created, it works like any other model: it has its own page, form, price in credits and API endpoint.

Step by step: deciding whether it pays off

  1. Think of a job you often do with several models in a row, passing the result of one to the next with Remix.
  2. If the sequence is always the same, turn it into a workflow: you describe it once and afterwards you just fill in the inputs.
  3. If you decide on the fly what to do with each result, keep chaining by hand with Remix.

When to use it

  • You produce many designs with the same steps.
  • You want to repeat a step for each item in a list (up to 10 per step).
  • You want to run the whole chain with a single API call.

What you need to know

  • You need the Pro plan or higher. Pro allows 15 workflows; Premium, 50; and Business, 500.
  • A workflow can have up to 20 steps and make up to 50 model calls per run.
  • You pay the sum of the steps that run. The "Run" button shows the cost beforehand; if the number of items can't be known yet, it shows a maximum ("up to N credits").
