Demoing an AI assistant workflow page
A workflow demo page helps visitors judge an assistant by watching one task complete. This guide shows how to scope the task, display the assistant's output and keep a person in control.
01
Step one: choose a single repeatable task
Pick a task that happens often, has a clear finish and is easy to check. A worked example: a small property manager receives maintenance requests by email and needs a categorized summary each morning. State the input in one line, such as a pasted tenant message, and the expected output, such as urgency, trade type and a draft reply. Avoid showing five features at once. A visitor should be able to describe what the assistant did after ten seconds, and that clarity matters more than breadth at this early stage.

Step two: show input, output and reasoning cues
Lay the page out in three visible zones: the original message, the assistant's structured result and a short note on what it relied on. In the property example, the result might label a leaking tap as moderate urgency, plumbing, with a drafted acknowledgment. Use sample text you wrote yourself and mark it clearly as a sample. Visitors trust a demo more when they can compare the raw request with the answer side by side. Keep the formatting plain so attention stays on whether the assistant understood the request.

Step three: add review, edit and handoff
Close the workflow with a human checkpoint. Beside the drafted reply, offer approve, edit and escalate actions, and explain what happens after each. For the maintenance example, escalate might send an emergency flood report to a named person immediately, while approve sends the routine acknowledgment. Describe the limits in one sentence rather than a legal paragraph. This final step shows buyers that the assistant supports staff rather than replacing judgment, and it gives you a natural place to invite feedback or a conversation about a pilot.
