Step 1: Create Your First Workflow
A workflow represents an AI-powered system or process in your organisation.

Step 2: Bind a Provider
Tell SignalBreak which AI provider powers this workflow.
- On your new workflow page, find Provider Bindings
- Click Add Binding
- Select your provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)
- Choose the model (e.g., GPT-4, Claude Sonnet)
- Set the binding role:
- Primary — Main provider
- Fallback — Backup if primary fails
- Click Save Binding
Step 3: Check Your Dashboard
Return to the Dashboard to see:
- 🟢 Provider Health — Current status of your bound providers
- 📊 Risk Score — Overall risk across your workflows
- 🔔 Recent Signals — Events affecting your providers
