Why Assay
Plain English in. Okta Workflows out.
Cards, error handling, tests and docs take most of a Workflows project. Assay Studio does that work from a sentence, in minutes. Your engineers move from building to reviewing.
Days → minutes
Requirement to first importable version, in our worked example
Designed, priced and drawn in about two minutes; built and graded in one more.
$60
A simple workflow, all in
Design, build, error handling, README, test cases, map and deck. $120 standard, $250 complex; helpers $40.
56
Controls, every time
The review a production estate gets, before you download, not after you deploy.
0
Charged before you decide
Design, diagram and price are free. A build that fails costs nothing.
How it works
AI where judgement helps. Rules where certainty matters.
Between the AI and your export sits a compiler that will not let it guess.
The shape of the automation.
Which flows, helpers and tables it needs, what to ask you first, which trade-offs to name.
Everything that must be exact.
Okta’s import format, every link between flows, Okta’s limits, the 56-control grade and every fix. Same answer every time.
Whether it goes live.
That it’s what the business wants, that it passes in a sandbox, and when it’s switched on.
An export file is never sent to a model. A logic review sends an outline of the flow, with the values typed into its cards. Assay does not train any model on what you send. Details are in the privacy policy.
A worked example
One automation, before and after.
“Every weekday at 6:30, find users deactivated the day before, remove each one from every group listed in a Watched Groups table, and record each removal with the time.”
Today
3–4 working daysWith Assay Studio
Under half a day · $140At programme scale: twenty automations, two engineers.
Engineer time
70 → 10 days
About 70 engineer-days today; about 10 with Assay Studio.
For a team of two
7 weeks → 1–2
Seven weeks of building, most of a quarter, becomes one to two weeks.
Build cost
About $2,800
20 × $140. Error handling, tests and docs included in all twenty, to one standard.
Engineer time per automation falls about sevenfold in this example. Workshops and change approval do not shrink, so plan on three to five times the automations in a quarter, not seven.
