(should add TLdraw which is specifically built for extensibility)
no, it is overrated. there are many many canvas workflow builders like this one. they're all beautiful, intuitive and easy to use. they all also dont get traction. go ahead, name one that everyone else here will know. its weird but theres a huge gulf here between what people think they want and what people really use outside the figma/excalidraw/tldraw/miro/canva space
we bet that its just because they pre-dated LLMs and don't really allow for granular control. the goal is to make it easier to develop automations/workflows, not harder. we think the future of development is 90% transformations/routing/fallbacks (boring) and the only part that actually impacts the end result is the call to the LLM (fun), the tools you give it, and a memory component. if we abstract away all the boring stuff, and only leave the stuff that impacts the results then it makes iterating and building with AI much faster and easier.
good luck (genuine)
