What are Custom AI Workflows?

Custom AI Workflows let you turn any AI prompt into a fully functional REST API endpoint. You define the input parameters, write natural language instructions for the AI, and specify the output format — SharpAPI handles the rest, giving you a production-ready endpoint you can call from any application.

Do I need coding experience to build a custom workflow?

No. The workflow builder uses a visual interface where you define parameters, write your AI prompt in plain English, and specify the JSON output structure. No programming knowledge is required to create a workflow. You only need basic coding skills to integrate the resulting API endpoint into your application.

How is this different from the pre-built SharpAPI endpoints?

Pre-built endpoints cover common use cases like resume parsing, product categorization, and sentiment analysis with optimized prompts. Custom Workflows let you create endpoints for any use case specific to your business — from custom document analysis to domain-specific content generation — with your own parameters and output schemas.

What input types can my custom workflow accept?

Custom workflows support string, number, integer, boolean, enum, array, and object parameter types. You can also accept file uploads (documents, images) via Form-Data mode. Each parameter can be marked as required or optional with default values.

What output format do custom workflows return?

All custom workflows return structured JSON responses matching the schema you define. This ensures consistent, machine-readable output that integrates seamlessly with your existing systems and applications.

How much does it cost to use Custom AI Workflows?

Custom Workflows use the same credit-based system as all SharpAPI endpoints. Each API call consumes credits based on your plan. You can start with a free account to test your workflows before scaling up.

Can I use my existing SharpAPI key for custom workflows?

Yes. Custom Workflows use the same authentication as all SharpAPI endpoints. Your existing API key works immediately — no additional setup or separate credentials needed.
