Before building a new Neuron, explore the Marketplace to see if there are pre-built templates that match your requirements. Templates can save you time and effort by providing ready-made solutions that you can easily adjust to fit your needs.
Always check whether an existing Axon or Neuron can be reused in your new workflow. This can save you time and keep your automation consistent across similar tasks. Reusing Axons also prevents you from starting from scratch every time, making your workflow more efficient.
When building your Neurons, make sure to follow the Axon connection rules:
• Input Axons connect to Processor Axons.
• Processor Axons can connect to other Processors or Transformer Axons.
• Transformer Axons connect to Output Axons.
Following these rules ensures your Neuron runs smoothly without errors.
When naming your Neurons, Axons, databases, and agents, use names that are descriptive and unique. This helps you easily identify components when reviewing workflows, troubleshooting, or working in the Neuron Explorer. Clear names make managing multiple workflows simpler.
If you don’t need data to be stored in the Knowledge Base, consider disabling it for certain Neurons. This keeps the Knowledge Base clean and free from unnecessary data, helping you stay organized.
Keep an eye on the Neuron Explorer to monitor the progress of your workflows. Regularly checking the Explorer ensures you can catch any failed Neurons early and keep things running smoothly.
If you create a Neuron or workflow that could be helpful to others, consider sharing it. You can add it to the Marketplace or share it within your organization, contributing to collaboration and helping others benefit from your work.
When building a Neuron, always start by defining the end goal. Knowing the desired output will help you structure the workflow correctly from the beginning, ensuring everything aligns with your objective.
Try to keep your Neurons as simple as possible. Use only the Axons you need to achieve your goal. Simplicity improves performance and makes troubleshooting easier.
