# Overview

> Build AI workflows visually. Connect generative models, agents, and code on a canvas you can publish as tools or apps.

Runchat is a visual canvas for AI workflows. Designers and architects use it to generate concept images, train custom styles, script Rhino, build site research tools, and ship the result as a shareable app.

Workflows are built from three nodes:

* **Agent**: process data, make decisions, use tools
* **Create**: run generative AI models for images, video, and 3D
* **Code**: JavaScript, HTML, Rhino Python, Blender Python, or Revit C#

Any workflow can be collapsed into a [Tool](/concepts/publishing/libraries) and reused inside other workflows, or given a custom web front-end and published as a public [App](/concepts/publishing/app-view) anyone can use.

Works with Rhino, Grasshopper, Blender, SketchUp, and Revit through native [plugins](/plugins/rhino).
