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. 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 walk you through the process of migrating your workflows from Skywork to Ceven, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption.
Migrate from Skywork to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Your Workflows
Start by listing all the workflows you currently run in Skywork. Focus on the outcomes they produce rather than the specific steps. This will help you identify which workflows are critical and how they can be rebuilt in Ceven.
Connect Your Apps in Ceven
Re-authorize the same tools and data sources in Ceven that you used in Skywork. Ceven supports 1,000+ tools, so you should find all the integrations you need.
Rebuild Your Workflows
Describe the desired outcomes of your workflows in Ceven. You don't need to recreate each step one-for-one. Instead, leverage Ceven's AI steps and human-approval gates to make your workflows more robust and flexible.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Where Skywork might have been brittle, add AI steps and human-approval gates in Ceven. This will ensure that your workflows are more reliable and can handle exceptions gracefully.
Validate in Parallel
Run both Skywork and Ceven in parallel on real data. This will allow you to compare the results and ensure that Ceven is producing the outcomes you need before fully switching over.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you're confident in your Ceven workflows, schedule a cutover date. Ensure that all critical workflows are fully validated and that any necessary approvals are in place before making the switch.
Why teams switch from Skywork to Ceven
Teams often switch from Skywork to Ceven because they need more control and flexibility in their AI workflows. Skywork excels at running deep research and producing documents, slides, and sheets, but it may lack the ability to integrate with a wide range of tools and data sources. Ceven, on the other hand, offers a broader range of integrations and the ability to run end-to-end workflows with AI steps and human-approval gates.
Additionally, Ceven's ability to build and host no-code pages and apps can be a significant advantage for teams that need to create custom interfaces or dashboards to support their workflows. The platform's scheduling capabilities also allow for more precise control over when and how workflows are executed.
What moves over and what doesn't
When migrating from Skywork to Ceven, the outcomes of your workflows will move over, but the specific steps and configurations will need to be rebuilt. Skywork's AI research capabilities can be replicated in Ceven using AI steps, but the exact methodology may differ. Ceven's broader range of integrations means you can connect to more tools and data sources, but you'll need to re-authorize these connections in the new platform.
Human-approval gates, scheduling, and the ability to build no-code pages and apps are all features that are available in Ceven but not in Skywork. These can be added to your workflows to make them more robust and flexible. However, any custom code or scripts used in Skywork will need to be reimplemented in Ceven, as the two platforms have different architectures and capabilities.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One common pitfall when migrating from Skywork to Ceven is trying to recreate each step of your workflows exactly as they were in the old platform. Instead, focus on the outcomes you want to achieve and rebuild your workflows in a way that leverages Ceven's unique capabilities. This may mean consolidating multiple workflows into fewer, more capable ones.
Another pitfall is not validating your workflows in parallel before cutting over. Running both Skywork and Ceven simultaneously on real data will help you identify any issues or discrepancies before they become critical. Additionally, always add human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to ensure that any errors or unexpected results can be caught and corrected before they cause problems.
