- Hard part — Node-based UI + real-time streaming + multi-model LLM routing
The problem
Every real AI pipeline — RAG, agents, structured extraction — ends up as a shelf of one-off Python scripts. The work is never in the models; it's in the plumbing. That plumbing is what stops non-engineers from shipping.
What I did about it
Built a nodal canvas around React Flow with 45+ typed node types (LLM calls, REST connectors, logic gates, transformers, renderers). Typed edges enforce compatibility at connect-time, not at run-time.
The outcome
Drag, connect, run — the canvas streams LLM responses live through each node so you can watch the data move. Pipelines that used to be a week of glue code ship in an afternoon.
Built to replace n8n for AI-native teams. Real-time streaming, multi-model routing, and a type system that catches pipeline errors before you run them.
In detail
Aura Studio is a visual AI orchestration platform. A nodal canvas where users drag, connect, and configure 45+ AI pipelines in real time — no glue code, no one-off Python scripts rotting in a folder.
The platform ships with pre-built node types spanning LLM calls, REST API connectors, logic gates, data transformers, and output renderers. Edges are typed, so invalid connections fail at design-time, not 3 minutes into a run.
Real-time execution monitoring is built in — watch data flow through each node live as you build. The goal is simple: collapse the gap between a pipeline you can draw on a whiteboard and one you can ship.
