# Workflows

Roboflow Workflows let you build a multi-step computer vision application in your browser - chaining models, logic, and integrations together - then deploy it to the Roboflow Cloud or your own hardware. The same Workflow runs on images, video files, and live RTSP streams through [Roboflow Inference](https://github.com/roboflow/inference).

Workflows are an ecosystem of pluggable, reusable Blocks. You connect them on a canvas, and the Workflows engine runs the finished application, which takes you from prototype to production without writing glue code. Roboflow ships a large catalog of Blocks and the community can publish their own, so the ecosystem keeps growing.

With Workflows you can:

* Detect, classify, and segment objects in images using state-of-the-art models.
* Use Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) to make determinations at any stage of a Workflow.
* Add business logic that translates model predictions into your domain language.
