BPC → YAML Schema (Inistate Schema) → Inistate (Platform)
The Business Process Canvas (BPC) can accelerate the requirements phase. With BPC, users can upload it to ChatGPT to generate a YAML schema. They can then refine the business process through interactive conversations with ChatGPT. With the YAML schema, users can convert the schema into a system in the Inistate Platform.
