Input & Output
Estimated reading: 1 minute
Robility Flow’s Input and Output components define where data enters and exits your workflow pipeline. While both handle data transmission, their functionality differs based on whether you are building a conversational application or processing raw text.
Chat Input & Chat Output
The Chat Input and Chat Output components are designed to handle conversational interactions in Robility Flow. They are required if you want to chat directly with your flow in the Playground.
These components facilitate multi-turn dialogues by handling both the message text and rich conversation metadata—such as sender details, session IDs, and timestamps—making them ideal for context-aware chatbots and interactive AI assistants.
Text Input & Text Output
The Text Input and Text Output components handle straightforward string input and output operations that do not require conversational context. Unlike chat components, they pare data down to basic, unformatted text strings without tracking sender details or message history, making them best suited for simple text transformations and linear processing pipelines.
