Norm, The Bland Console
Meet Norm, our new AI assistant built directly into the pathway editor. Norm understands your entire pathway and lets you propose changes in plain language. Just describe what you want, then review a clear diff of every node and edge before you apply the update.- Changes are applied to a forked version of your pathway, keeping your original intact until you’re ready to publish
- Reference specific nodes by name using @ mentions for targeted changes, with the AI asking for confirmation or clarification before applying anything
- View before and after content for every node and edge changed
- Console
- Diff View
