+### Installation Documentation
+
+Flows for APEX Enterrise Edition v24.1 can be installed with or without the Ask Flo generative AI feature.
+
+- If you are installing *WITH* the AI feature, you need to be running Oracle APEX v24.1 or later, and have an OpenAI API key with a pre-paid credit balance. This install will replace the Flows for APEX application with an APEX 24.1 app.
+
+- If you can't meet these requirements, or choose not to run the AI feature, you can run Flows for APEX Enterprise Edition with Oracle APEX v22.1 or later. This installation does not replace the Flows for APEX application that you installed with the Community Edition.
+
+## Pre-Requisites
+
+- You need a working Flows for APEX v24.1 Community Edition installation before you start - the Enterprise Edition instals on top of the Community Edition.
+
+ - If you have an existing Flows for APEX 23.1 or earlier installation, upgrade and migrate this to Flows for APEX v24.1 Community Edition first using the instructions at ...
+ _ If you are installing a new system, start by installing Flows for APEX Community Edition v24.1. You can do this by importing the Flows for APEX Community Edition app and installing its supporting objects.
+
+- You should have Timers set up and working. Configure and enable the `DBMS_SCHEDULER` program and job required for Flows for APEX Timers.
+
+- APEX Version. Full installation requires Oracle APEX v24.1. Installation without AI requires APEX v22.1 or later.
+
+- To run the AI feature, you need to set up a Workspace-level Generative AI service for Flows for APEX, using OpenAI with the `gpt-4o` model with a static ID defined in APEX as `F4A_AI_SERVICE`. For detailed instructions, see below.
+
+Then follow one of these two paths to install with or without AI.
+
+## Full Enterprise Edition install, including the Ask Flo GenAI Assistance Feature

+The AskFlow AI assistance feature requires the AI support features in APEX 24.1, and currently requires the OpenAI gpt API service (the pay-as-you-go api service from OpenAI).
+While we plan to support other AI services in the near future, we have found the ability of OpenAI gpt-4o to understand and process BPMN is currently significantly better than other Gen AI services, icluding Cohere, llama, and OCI AI. As such, only OpenAI gpt-4o is supported in our initial release.
+All models are developing rapidly, so we hope to be able to support more soon. If you have particular AI requirements, due to security or privacy, please discuss these with Flowquest.
+
+If you want to use the AskFlo AI feature, you will need:
+
+1. to be running Oracle APEX 24.1 or later
+2. to have an OpenAI API key
+3. to upgrade the Flows for APEX 24.1 Application to the APEX 24.1EE application included in the Enterprise Edition release.
+
+If you do not want to use the AskFlo feature, you can install the Enterprise Edition without GenAI. In this case, you will add additional PL/SQL packages and other objects that implement BPMN Loops and iterations and BPMN MessageFlow.
+
+#### Set up your APEX Workspace-level GenAI Service for Flows for APEX.

+The Future of Flows for APEX
+
+Flows for APEX is a BPMN-based process automation and workflow management system for Oracle APEX, the world’s most popular low-code application platform. Flows for APEX enables organizations to model their business processes diagrammatically using the industry standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), then use the power of the Oracle APEX low code development platform to rapidly develop process automation applications. Flows for APEX provides facilities to execute workflow processes, while providing tools to monitor and manage running workflows.Flows for APEX is an APEX community project that started in 2020, and was initially by Hyand GmbH (formerly MT AG) at ODTUG Kscope 2020. Subsequent major contributors to the project have come from Hyand, Talan, Oracle Corporation, Solicon, and Flowquest. Flows for APEX has been downloaded over 10,000 times, and is now in production use at many large organizations, worldwide.
+
+Starting with Flows for APEX version 24.1, Flows for APEX will be available in two editions:
+
+* Flows for APEX Community Edition. The Community Edition will remain an Open Source, APEX Community Project. The software will continue to be available free of charge on an MIT license by download from flowsforapex.org. Community support available via the project’s GitHub pages.
+
+* Flows for APEX Enterprise Edition. The Enterprise Edition is a new offering including major new product features, backed up with technical support, on an annual subscription basis from Flowquest Limited. Major new features in 24.1 will include support for process collaboration with BPMN Message Flow, process step iteration and looping, and a GenAI assistant in the process modeler.
+
+The launch of Flows for APEX Enterprise Edition will allow the project to become financially self supporting, and ensure it has the dedicated resources required to support current and future users and for the product to continue to be enhanced with an exciting future development agenda.
+
+Flows for APEX version 24.1 will include exciting new capabilities in both the community and enterprise editions. Community Edition will include:
+
+* APEX Simple Form, enabling an input form page to be specified without having to specify an underlying database table or APEX page by using a flexible JSON region plugin.
+* Process Starter. A pre-built end-user application that enables a user to view the catalog of business processes that they can initiate, pick and start a business process, and shows their current task inbox. This eases process deployment into the organization.
+* JSON-typed Process Variables.
+ Support for BPMN Color, allowing user-defined coloring of process steps in BPMN diagrams.
+
+In addition to these features, the Enterprise Edition will also add the following major features:
+
+* BPMN Iteration and Looping. Workflow steps often need to be executed repeatedly for each item in a list. Iteration and Looping enables a BPMN task or sub-process to be repeated once for each item in a list or a query result set, either sequentially or in parallel. It also allows tasks or sub-processes to be executed continuously in a loop until a complete condition is met.
+* Process Collaboration with BPMN Message Flow. Enable processes to message each other, whether on the same APEX instance or to a remote endpoint via REST. Message Flow allows a process instance to message another process instance, subscribe and wait for an incoming message, start another process instance, interrupt or change the process flow in another instance with message boundary events, or emit a message on completion of a process or sub-process.
+
+* AI Assistance to the Process Modeler. The current set of LLMs understand BPMN, and so are able to summarize, detect and explain model errors, suggest technical, modeling or business process improvements, and explain models built in different languages. Additional AI use cases and features are planned in later releases.
+
+Development of release 24.1 is almost complete, and we are planning to release this imminently, usual caveats notwithstanding.
+
+We are excited about the future of Flows for APEX and to be shipping the next release soon.

+### How we're using GenAI in Flows for APEX to help model business processes.
+
+Flows for APEX uses the industry standard process modelling notation, BPMN 2.0, to graphically model business processes. Steps in those processes that require user input or processing can then be rapidly developed using Oracle APEX, and Flows for APEX will then execute and manage instances of those processes. So how can GenAI help us with that?
+
+Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) representations of a business process appear to the user as a process diagram, showing tasks, events, and gateways that control the process direction. Optionally these diagrams can contain swim lanes showing who (person or organisation) is responsible for each process step, and can show how a process interacts with other processes and/or other organizations.
+
+Under the covers, these BPMN diagrams are stored as an XML document, containing two main sections - one defining the process logic, and a second defining the diagram layout.
+
+Current Gen AI models are good at understanding XML documents, have been trained on material including the BPMN standard, the many books written about BPMN, and the countless number of conference papers written by business consultants over the last two decades. The good news is that you don’t have to stay awake reading all of them - Gen AI has already read them and can help us!
+
+## What can Gen AI do with a BPMN Diagram?
+
+1. ### Explaining Diagrams
+
+ The first thing that GenAI can do is to explain the diagram to us in business English. Or any other language, but I’ll come back to that later!
+
+ The AI models are good at converting the structure and text contained in the BPMN model to a good, well-structured explanation of the process in a diagram. They seem to be good at inferring background purpose and concepts in a model, and describing them - at a high level, or in as much detail as you want.
+
+ Let’s take an example. I have a contrived business process built for a demo that conducts annual employment verification checks for staff. The process is started by HR, and then carried out by HR and line managers. Here’s the top level diagram …
+
+ 
+
+ This diagram uses a subprocess for the ‘review department’ task. If I click on the blue arrow icon underneath ‘review department’, I can see the detail of this subprocess…
+
+ 
+
+ And so I can see that the process for each department is to identify staff needing a review, that conduct that review — the details of which are contained in a sub process, which again I can see by clicking on the blue arrow below ‘review staff’.
+
+ 
+
+ Now I can see that the process conducts a government employability check and then a salary review by the line manager.
+
+ What can AI do? If I click the ‘Ask Flo’ button, we send a subset of the diagram to the AI service, ask ask for a brief summary of the business process. Here’s the response.
+
+ 
+
+ This looks like a good summary of the process. For those who aren’t familiar with the intricacies of BPMN, whether APEX developers new to BPMN or business managers new to process modelling, this should be useful.
+
+ The AI service is able to answer more detailed questions about the business process or the mechanics of the BPMN diagram. Here is an arbitrary example where we’ve asked for more details on the staff review part of the process using a free text question from the user…
+
+ 
+
+2. ### Suggesting Process Model Improvements
+
+ The next capability that AI can help us with is suggesting improvements to our model, whether these are technical / process modelling improvements or actual business process improvements.
+
+ 
+
+ Our experience is that the suggestions provided by AI also range from the simple / trivial to more complex, less obvious ideas. It’s not always easy to get relevant suggestions from simplified demo processes like our staff review process — but you can see that some of the ideas are good and generally helpful.
+
+3. ### Model Error Checking
+
+ The next capability is to detect and explain model errors. In the Flows for APEX Process Modeler, we have already included a BPMN linting capability that detects various syntactic errors in your model. Additionally, the AI engine is capable of finding another set of potential errors from its existent knowledge of BPMN and from our training prompt.
+
+ Here’s an error check on our demo model… which appears to be in good order.
+
+ 
+
+ We have a class of typical user errors that come from starting parallel sections in a model, which have to all end at the same merging gateway or go to their own end points. When errors in these. rules occur, our experience is that AI is very good at finding the problem, explaining what the problem is, and suggesting ways to change the model to fix the problem. Certainly better than the typical ‘rule X is broken’ style error message!
+
+4. ### Describing Message Flow
+
+ One of the capabilities of Flows for APEX Enterprise Edition v24.1 is the ability for one process to collaborate with another process, which might be in the same APEX instance or via-REST at a supplier or customer, by sending and receiving messages. This collaboration can start a remote process, subscribe and wait for an incoming message, interrupt a process when a message arrives, or emit a message when a process or sub-process completes. This is process collaboration via BPMN Message Flow.
+ One of the key design tasks in setting up process collaboration is to design the message definitions to be used in this structured messaging environment. (I’ll write a blog post about this soon). Again AI can help us to describe the messaging defined in a model, pulling information from all of the places where message structure is defined.
+ Our demo model doesn’t have any messaging in it, so I’ve taken another example here, and given screen shots here of the overall message process and the AI-generated documentation on the message structures.
+
+ 
+
+ Here’s a summary of the model for those of you not sure about the BPMN here. (it’s easy to generate this, so why not give it to you….)
+
+ 
+
+ Asking AI for a description of the message structures gives us this output…
+
+ 
+
+5. ### Language Translation
+
+ All of our business process diagrams have been in English so far, but what happens when the diagram is in a language you can’t understand? How can AI help the business manager trying to understand why the business process in the Japanese office isn’t working as they expect? Or how can a support analyst help solve a process problem when it’s 2AM in Tokyo and support has rolled over to the help desk in London?
+
+ Well, the current LLMs are all good at language translation, and we can give AI a model in one language and ask for an explanation in another language.
+ Here’s a model that most of us can’t read (…with apologies to those of you who can read Japanese!)…
+
+ 
+
+ Where to start? Let’s Ask Flo…
+
+ 
+
+ So now we know what the business process is, and how it works! Note that AI gives us the original task names in Japanese, the pronunciation in Romanji (Japanese using Roman characters), and an English translation.
+
+ This capability works well in all of the languages that we have had native speakers review output.
+
+ Showing off, one of our Flows for APEX users has a requirement to be able to provide output in Welsh language to Welsh users. The AI service can do that\*\* (\*\*to the best of my knowledge, but I can’t read Welsh!)
+
+## AI Services
+
+The results above are all created using the OpenAI `gpt-4o` model. Other models, including the Cohere and OCI AI Service models can understand BPMN to a limited degree, but provide output that is much less full and less reliable than these examples. But as with everything AI, the situation is changing rapidly and other models may be capable of producing this quality of interaction soon.
+
+## How Do I Use This?
+
+The Ask Flo GenAI Assistant is a feature in Flows for APEX Enterprise Edition v24.1, which is now available on a supported, annual subscription basis from Flowquest. (www.flowquest.net).
+
+The Ask Flo AI feature requires APEX 24.1 and a OpenAI API key with pre-paid balance. (Don’t be deterred by the cost of using the AI service - our work to optimise the parts of the BPMN diagram that is sent to BPMN reduces the number of token used, and so the AI running costs of this are not expensive for the benefit provided. My token usage today to create all of the examples in this blog, along with a several other discarded queries, cost under US$0.02).
