Understanding the Runtype UI
The Runtype UI is your main workspace for building, testing, and deploying AI Products. This guide walks you through the main areas so you can find what you need quickly.
Sidebar navigation
The left sidebar organizes the platform into three groups.
Overview
Dashboard — Your home view with recent activity and quick stats
Playground — Experiment with prompts and models in real time
Build AI Experiences
Products — Group Flows and Agents together and deploy them through Surfaces
Agents — Build agentic workflows with tool use and reasoning
Flows — Create multi-step AI workflows with prompts, logic, and data
Evals — Compare models and measure how your workflows perform
Manage Data and Operations
Records — Manage structured data that your Flows can use as context
Tools — Create custom Tools that your Agents can call
Schedules — Automate Flow execution on a recurring basis
Logs — Review Flow, Agent, and step execution history
At the bottom of the sidebar you'll also find:
Settings — Configure models, API keys, billing, usage, integrations, and team members
Appearance — Switch between Light, Dark, and System themes
Send Feedback — Send feedback, report a bug, or request a feature
User menu — Switch organizations, manage your account, or log out
Top bar
The top bar adapts to the page you're on:
Page title — Shows the current area, such as Flows or Products
Action buttons — Create new items like a Flow or Product
Usage overview — A quick look at your activity across the platform
List views
Most pages share a consistent layout:
Search and filters — Find items quickly by name or status
Status badges — See whether an item is active, draft, or archived
Quick actions — Use the more menu (⋯) to edit, duplicate, or delete
