How to Migrate from You.com to Ceven
You.com is an AI search platform that uses its ARI research agent to scan hundreds of sources and complete multi-step 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 from You.com to Ceven, ensuring a smooth transition for your AI workflows and automations.
There is no automatic import from You.com to Ceven. Migrating means rebuilding the workflows/automations on Ceven and re-authorizing the same connected apps. We recommend running both platforms in parallel on real data and switching over only once the Ceven version is proven. Use human-approval gates on writes to systems of record to ensure data integrity.
Migrate from You.com to Ceven in 6 steps
Inventory Workflows and Outcomes
Begin by listing all the workflows you have in You.com. Document the outcomes of each workflow, not the steps. This will help you rebuild them in Ceven with a focus on the desired results, rather than recreating the exact process.
Connect the Same Apps in Ceven
Ceven connects to 1,000+ tools. Use this to your advantage by connecting the same apps you used in You.com. This ensures that your data flows seamlessly between the platforms.
Rebuild Workflows in Ceven
In Ceven, describe the outcome you want to achieve, then build the workflow around that. This might mean consolidating multiple workflows into one, or adding AI steps and human-approval gates to handle tasks that were brittle in You.com.
Add AI Steps and Approval Gates
Use Ceven's AI steps to automate tasks that you previously did manually in You.com. Add human-approval gates to ensure that critical decisions are reviewed by a human before execution.
Validate in Parallel
Run both You.com and Ceven in parallel for a period of time. This allows you to validate that Ceven is producing the desired outcomes, and gives you a chance to catch and fix any issues before fully switching over.
Schedule and Cut Over
Once you are confident that Ceven is working as expected, schedule a cutover date. This is when you will stop using You.com and fully transition to Ceven.
Why teams switch from You.com to Ceven
Teams often switch from You.com to Ceven for several reasons. Ceven's ability to run end-to-end workflows on a schedule, with AI steps and human-approval gates, provides a more robust and flexible automation solution. Additionally, Ceven's no-code platform allows for the creation and hosting of custom pages and apps, which can be a significant advantage for teams looking to build custom solutions.
Ceven's extensive integration capabilities mean that teams can consolidate their workflows and automations into a single platform. This can reduce complexity and improve efficiency, as well as provide a central location for monitoring and managing all automations.
What moves over and what doesnt
When migrating from You.com to Ceven, it's important to understand what will and will not move over. Since there is no automatic import, you will need to rebuild your workflows and automations in Ceven. This means that the specific steps and logic of your workflows will not transfer over, but the outcomes and desired results will guide the rebuild process.
The connected apps and data sources that you used in You.com will need to be reconnected in Ceven. This ensures that your data flows seamlessly between the platforms. However, any custom configurations or settings specific to You.com will need to be recreated in Ceven.
Avoiding the common pitfalls
One of the most common pitfalls when migrating from You.com to Ceven is trying to recreate the exact workflows and automations from You.com. Instead, focus on the outcomes and desired results, and rebuild the workflows in Ceven to achieve those outcomes.
Another common pitfall is not running both platforms in parallel for a period of time. This can lead to issues going unnoticed until after the cutover, which can cause significant disruptions. By running both platforms in parallel, you can validate that Ceven is working as expected and catch any issues before fully switching over.
Frequently asked
Can Ceven automatically import my workflows from You.com?
