Autopilot and Builder

The visual Builder for jobs a Mind runs, Autopilot schedules, and why unattended jobs get no payment tools.

The Builder is a visual canvas for a job a Mind runs step by step. Autopilot runs a Builder job on a schedule, without the owner watching.

​

Steps

Step	What it does
Ask the Mind	A prompt to the Mind, with the Mind’s persona and skills
Use a tool	One tool the owner picked, such as Email me or adding to the owner’s calendar
Call a website	An HTTP request, with secrets filled in only for the hosts the owner listed
If or else	A branch, including nested Ifs and End

Canvases compile to Mastra dynamic workflows (engine/src/builder.ts, engine/src/workflows.ts); Autopilot runs them on Mastra workflow schedules (engine/src/autopilot.ts). User text can never become a Mastra template.

​

Unattended jobs are limited

Autopilot jobs get no payment or approval tools. They may only email the owner or add to the owner’s calendar, and only as steps the owner placed. Email me can only send the Mind’s notes to the owner’s own connected Gmail; the recipient is never in the request. Scheduled runs get no secrets yet.

If the Mind changes (persona, model, skills), its Autopilot jobs get the new config; a job the engine cannot run is paused and says why (pausedFor).

Through the API

POST /v1/minds/{mindId}/workflows/{workflowId}/runs runs a workflow and streams events; PUT …/autopilot turns the schedule on or off. The workflow events (workflow.started, node.started, node.finished, workflow.finished) are in Streaming events.
