Pipes Automation
Let your knowledge work for you, automatically.
Pipes is Serpaix's automation platform — write natural-language instructions in YAML, schedule them as cron jobs, and chain LLM outputs to actions. Your knowledge base becomes an active participant in your workflow.
The Problem
Knowledge management is passive. You capture, you organize — but the system doesn't do anything proactively on your behalf. The morning standup, the weekly review, the task extraction from meeting notes — all manual.
The Solution
YAML+LLM automation with cron scheduling. Natural language instructions interpreted by the LLM. Encrypted secrets (AES-256-GCM). Chainable actions: create_note, create_task, send_webhook, send_email. Output templates with handlebars syntax. Shared Pipes marketplace for community automation templates.
Key benefits
'Every morning at 8am, summarize my open tasks and yesterday's notes' — in YAML
Chain LLM outputs to actions: create tasks, send webhooks, update notes
Secrets stored encrypted — API keys never appear in Pipe definitions
Cron scheduling with timezone support and missed-run handling
Shared marketplace: publish and reuse community automation templates
Webhooks trigger Pipes from external systems (Slack, Jira, GitHub events)
Technical Depth
Pipes execute in isolated worker processes with 30s timeout per LLM step. Secrets managed with AES-256-GCM per-user key derivation. Output actions run sequentially with retry logic (3 attempts, exponential backoff). Marketplace Pipes are sandboxed — they cannot access secrets outside their scope.
