Managed Workflows

Describe the job. Keep the program.

Describe the pipeline you run every week and 5AM writes you a Python program that drives the 5am CLI — the same CLI you would type by hand. You read a structured plan before any code exists, edit the code once it does, and then either download the file and run it wherever you like, or hand it to us to run in the cloud with live logs. The output is a program, not a saved chain of blocks: a file you can read, diff, and keep.

Why Managed Workflows?

1

A plan first, with its assumptions and open questions written out — thirty seconds to review, versus reading two hundred lines of generated Python

2

The program is yours: download workflow.py with its requirements and run it in cron, in CI, anywhere — downloading needs no subscription at all

3

Two gates, asking different questions — a static check that every 5am command and flag is real, and a second model reading adversarially for what will break or cost you

4

Runaway jobs cost exactly the ceiling you were shown: credits are reserved before a run and settled to its real duration

5

Each cloud run gets its own credential, scoped to what the plan declared and revoked when the run ends — never your personal token, never admin

Key Features

Plain-language description to reviewable plan to editable Python
Line-anchored notes and a revision round that rewrites the program, not a chat transcript
Live run logs, an artifact hub for reports and CSVs, and the full log archived on every run
Declared inputs become a form, so one workflow points at a different album without an edit
Start from a Playground session — its conclusion and artifacts carry into the plan
