No inputs required — hit Run to stream each step in order.

Each step streams from its model and feeds the next. BYOK — you pay your provider directly. Add a key in Settings if a step needs one.

Step 1 · Sessions turn a script into a tool people trust with long work.

Best for

•Recurring tasks you currently copy-paste between tools.
•When a single prompt isn't enough — you need a chain where output(n) feeds prompt(n+1).
•Fork and adapt if your inputs differ materially from the author's use case.
