Overview
Outlines the basic concepts of Stubber at a high level
Stubber is an advanced interface that integrates artificial intelligence to streamline processes. It enables you to visually build and run tasks, fitting smoothly with the tools you already use. Whether it’s automating routine jobs or simplifying complex workflows, Stubber helps you work smarter with the power of AI.
What is a Flow in Stubber
In Stubber, a flow is a visual map or outline of a process — a step-by-step representation that defines how something gets done. It’s made up of a few key concepts:
Start and End of a Flow
- Every flow has a clear beginning and end.
- The start is flexible — it could represent the first step in planning or initiating a process.
- The end is concrete — it represents the completion of a well-defined goal.
Actions and States
A flow is built from states and actions, which define its structure and behavior.
States
Think of states as resting points or moments in time during a process. They represent a specific condition where things pause before moving on.
In the Stubber Editor, a state looks like this:
Actions
Actions are events or updates that happen within a state — they either perform a change or move the process forward to the next state.
In the Stubber Editor, an action looks like this:

Stubs in Stubber
A stub represents a single run-through or instance of a flow. You can think of it as a smart agent following the steps defined in your process.
Key Details About Stubs
- A stub can only be in one state at any given time.
- It can only enter states defined in your process (or inherited from other templates).
- Stubs transition between states to guide users and AIs along a clear path to completion.
- Stubs operate as Finite State Machines (FSMs) — structured, predictable, and fully defined.

What a Stubber Flow Is Not
A Stubber flow isn’t a traditional workflow or a simple list of tasks.
It’s a flexible, conceptual framework that allows you to define, structure, and automate processes in a dynamic, AI-driven way.
