Choose the work
Pick one repeated task. Good first examples: review a folder of documents, draft replies to messages, or turn notes into a checklist. Choose something useful but low-risk.
Your first workflow
Build your first OOMU® workflow.
Start with a task you already understand.
The best first workflow isn't the most impressive one. It's the one you repeat often, understand well, and can easily review.
Steps
Start simple, then make it useful through use.
Build the steps
In OOMU, a workflow is a set of visible steps. Start with what the workflow should look at. Then choose what it should prepare. Then decide where you should review the result.
A simple email workflow might look like this: find messages that need a response, draft replies, show the drafts for review, and wait for you to send.
Review the plan
Before the workflow runs, review what OOMU plans to do. Check what it will look at. Check what it will prepare. Check where it will ask for approval. If the plan isn't right, change it.
A trustworthy agent should be easy to correct before it acts.
Run the workflow
Run it and review the output. For the first few runs, stay close. See how it behaves. Adjust the steps. Make the instructions clearer. Remove anything unnecessary.
Good workflows get better through use.
Keep the judgment
Don't use an AI workflow as a substitute for professional judgment. Use it to remove the repetitive work around judgment. That's the right place to begin.
Closing
Your first OOMU workflow should feel simple, useful, and easy to understand.
If it does, build another.
That's how AI agents become part of real work.
