How to Migrate from Sider to Ceven
Sider is an AI sidebar and Deep Research agent that reads any page, browses the web, and executes multi-step research plans.
Ceven is an AI workflow automation platform that connects to 1,000+ tools, runs end-to-end workflows on a schedule with AI steps and human-approval gates, and can build & host no-code pages/apps.
Migrate from Sider to Ceven in 5 steps
Inventory Your Research Workflows
Start by listing all the research workflows you currently run in Sider. Focus on the outcomes they achieve, such as data gathering, report generation, or decision support, rather than the specific steps.
Connect Your Tools to Ceven
In Ceven, connect the same tools and data sources you use with Sider. Ceven supports a wide range of integrations, ensuring seamless data flow across your research processes.
Rebuild Your Workflows in Ceven
Describe the outcomes of your Sider workflows in Ceven. Use Ceven's AI steps to enhance data processing and human-approval gates to add oversight where needed, making your workflows more robust.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Sider and Ceven workflows simultaneously to compare results. This parallel testing ensures that Ceven's workflows produce accurate and reliable outcomes before fully transitioning.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you've validated the Ceven workflows, schedule the final cutover. Ensure all team members are aware of the transition and provide any necessary training on the new system.
Why Teams Switch from Sider to Ceven
Teams often migrate from Sider to Ceven to leverage a more comprehensive automation platform. While Sider excels at AI-driven research, Ceven offers additional capabilities such as workflow scheduling, human-approval gates, and no-code app building, making it a versatile tool for automating a wider range of tasks.
Ceven's extensive integration library allows for seamless connectivity with 1,000+ tools, ensuring that your research workflows can be enhanced with additional automation steps, such as data enrichment, reporting, and decision-making processes.
What Moves Over and What Doesn't
When migrating from Sider to Ceven, the focus is on rebuilding your research workflows. The specific steps and logic you use in Sider will need to be recreated in Ceven, but with the added benefits of AI steps and human-approval gates.
Data and research outputs from Sider can be manually transferred to Ceven, but there is no automatic import feature. This migration process allows you to consolidate and optimize your workflows, ensuring they are more efficient and reliable.
Avoiding the Common Pitfalls
One common pitfall is attempting to recreate Sider workflows one-for-one in Ceven. Instead, focus on the outcomes and rebuild the workflows to leverage Ceven's unique features, such as AI steps and human-approval gates, to make them more robust.
Another pitfall is not validating the workflows in parallel. Running both systems simultaneously ensures that Ceven's workflows produce accurate results before fully transitioning, minimizing disruptions and errors.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my Sider workflows?
