has a tools menu, which can be seen in detail in the description that follows.

future reference. Click on the solution that you wish to continue working on
and the solution opens from where you left.

Templates

To build a solution and publish it as a template, the user can avail of this
option to create it. After creating the solution, the user can share it with the
team or make it available to others. The template will enable users to quickly
deploy the solution without needing to recreate it. This makes it easier to
access and use the solution.

Available Templates

Pre-built templates enable users to customize their templates according to
their own requirements and preferences. These templates are also designed
to be intuitive and easy to use, making the process of automation faster. The
templates section has the Robility AI/ML templates and the Robility templates.

  • Robility templates: These templates does not require any API key to be
