Flow description
Purpose and benefits
This workflow, titled “Readability evaluator from text”, is designed to help users easily assess the readability of any text using a range of established metrics. By automating the evaluation process, it enables users such as writers, educators, editors, and content creators to quickly get feedback on the complexity and accessibility of their writing, which is essential for scaling content quality control and ensuring materials are suitable for the target audience.
How the Workflow Operates
1. User Greeting & Onboarding
When a user opens the chat interface:
- The Chat Opened Trigger activates and sends a signal to the Message Widget.
- The Message Widget displays a friendly welcome message, guiding the user to paste their text for analysis.
- This welcome message is then shown to the user through a Chat Output node.
Welcome Message Example:
👋 Welcome to the Readability Evaluator!
I’m here to analyze the readability of your text using various metrics, including Flesch-Kincaid, Dale-Chall, Flesch, ARI, Coleman-Liau, Gunning Fog, SMOG, Spache, and Linsear Write 📊.
Just provide the text you want to evaluate, and I’ll give you detailed insights into its readability scores.
Let’s get started—paste your text, and I’ll handle the rest! ✨📝
2. User Text Input
- The user enters or pastes their text into the Chat Input.
