Journey
The coordination layer of Onli AI — manages long-running, multi-step goals by orchestrating Routines.
The coordination layer of Onli AI. A Journey manages long-running, multi-step goals by orchestrating the smaller steps needed to accomplish them.
Think of a Journey as the project manager. It knows the big goal — "issue a new asset to 10,000 customers" or "onboard a new business partner" — and coordinates all the Routines needed to get there. It doesn't do the work itself; it makes sure the right work happens in the right order.
How it works
A Journey is the outermost orchestration layer of Onli AI. It:
- Breaks a complex goal into coordinated steps
- Delegates each step to the appropriate Routine
- Tracks progress across multiple operations
- Handles the overall sequence and dependencies
Journeys don't execute API calls or change any asset state directly. They coordinate — the actual execution happens at the Tool layer, and only with owner authorization.
