Caret Workflows in the Obsidian
Overview
Start Generation Here A Caret Workflow is essentially a chain of prompts that can be executed either in parallel or linearly. This allows users to run a structured process against inputs.
Parallel Workflows
In a parallel workflow, all prompts are run simultaneously on the same input.
- Allows asking the same set of questions each time.
- Outputs are added to the canvas. From there you could use the
Canvas Prompt
command to synthesize if needed, - Enables continuation down any branches of the conversation.
- Examples:
- Researchers can run a pre-scripted set of prompts on a paper and get a quick overview of the main points.
- Run against a meeting transcript to get a quick summary of the main points, todo items, etc
Linear Workflows
In a linear workflow, prompts are executed sequentially, similar to a pre-scripted conversation.
- Useful for tasks where you want to "process" an input in a specific way.
- Examples:
- Writing documentation from a Loom video transcript.
Creating Workflows
You can create a workflow using the Create New Workflow
command. Or you can even convert a canvas conversation into a linear workflow using the Create Linear Workflow from Canvas
command.
