How to Migrate from Skywork to Ceven

Skywork is an AI agent that runs deep research across hundreds of sources and produces documents, slides, and sheets. It's designed to assist with comprehensive research tasks.

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. This guide will help you migrate your research workflows from Skywork to Ceven.

Migrate from Skywork to Ceven in 5 steps

  1. Inventory Your Workflows

    Start by listing all the outcomes your Skywork workflows produce, such as research documents, slides, or sheets. Note the triggers, connected tools, and any manual steps involved.

  2. Connect Your Apps to Ceven

    Reauthorize the same apps in Ceven that you used with Skywork. Ceven supports 1,000+ tools, ensuring seamless integration with your existing ecosystem.

  3. Rebuild Your Workflows

    Instead of recreating each Skywork workflow one-for-one, focus on rebuilding them in Ceven to achieve the same outcomes. Use Ceven's AI steps to enhance automation and add human-approval gates where Skywork was brittle.

  4. Validate in Parallel

    Run both Skywork and Ceven workflows in parallel on real data. This allows you to compare outputs and ensure Ceven's workflows meet your expectations before fully transitioning.

  5. Schedule and Cut Over

    Once you've validated Ceven's workflows, schedule the final cutover. Communicate the change to your team and monitor the new workflows to ensure smooth operation.

Why teams switch from Skywork to Ceven

Teams often switch from Skywork to Ceven for enhanced automation capabilities. Ceven offers a broader range of integrations, allowing you to connect to 1,000+ tools and create end-to-end workflows. With Ceven, you can add AI steps and human-approval gates, making your workflows more robust and adaptable.

What moves over and what doesn't

When migrating from Skywork to Ceven, your research outcomes and connected tools can be rebuilt in Ceven. However, there is no automatic import of workflows. You will need to reauthorize your connected apps and rebuild your workflows in Ceven. This process often leads to more streamlined and capable workflows.

Avoiding the common pitfalls

One common pitfall is trying to replicate each Skywork workflow exactly in Ceven. Instead, focus on achieving the same outcomes with more efficient and robust workflows. Another pitfall is not validating the new workflows in parallel. Running both systems simultaneously ensures a smooth transition and minimizes disruptions.

Frequently asked

Can Ceven automatically import my Skywork workflows?

No, Ceven does not support automatic import of Skywork workflows. You will need to rebuild your workflows in Ceven, which often results in more consolidated and capable automation.

How long does it take to migrate from Skywork to Ceven?

The time required to migrate depends on the complexity and number of your workflows. Typically, it involves inventorying your workflows, connecting your apps, rebuilding them in Ceven, and validating the new workflows in parallel.

Can I run Skywork and Ceven simultaneously during the migration?

Yes, it's recommended to run both systems in parallel during the migration. This allows you to compare outputs and ensure Ceven's workflows meet your expectations before fully transitioning.
