Pneumatic
The workflow layer for on-premise AI with human oversight
Pneumatic is an open-source workflow platform that structures business processes as templates and runs them as individual workflows, automatically assigning tasks to performers as steps progress. It combines AI performers with human review steps, so AI can extract, classify, or draft while a person approves or escalates, with an audit trail recorded at each step. Workflows can be deployed on-premise, in private cloud, or on the vendor's managed cloud.
Core tools include a no-code Template Builder for defining steps, variables, conditions, and kick-off forms; Workflows and Tasks views with logs and comments; dashboards and Workflow Highlights reporting; and shareable kick-off forms that start workflows without an account. Automation levels cover automatic task assignment, integrations through Zapier and Integromat, and a public API for connecting external systems. Security features include role-based access control, SAML2 SSO, and multi-factor authentication.
Pneumatic is aimed at teams automating processes such as compliance review, accounts payable, employee onboarding, and incident response. It is available as a free unlimited cloud account with full product access and community support, alongside a professional implementation engagement covering on-premise deployment, custom integrations, SLAs, and a dedicated success manager. The core engine is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
