# Glossary

## Workflow automation
The replacement of repeated manual work with software that moves information, applies logic, and triggers the next step automatically.

## Enterprise integration
Connecting existing systems such as Microsoft 365, Salesforce, SAP, Slack, or custom APIs so information can flow between them.

## Multi-model orchestration
Using more than one model in the same system, routing tasks to the model that is strongest for each sub-task.
