Glossary
Understand the key concepts of Itzam.
Workflows
Workflows are the building blocks of Itzam. They represent a specific functionality in your app (e.g. a support chat, a code generator, a content writer, etc).
A Workflow contains:
- Model: The AI model you want to use (e.g. GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, etc).
- Prompt: The prompt you want to give to the model (e.g. “You are a customer support agent from Acme Inc…”).
- Knowledge: The files and links you want the AI to use as context (e.g. company docs, wikipedia links, etc).
- Runs: The runs are the executions of a workflow.
Runs
Runs are the executions of a workflow. You can think of them as the logs or history of a workflow.
A Run contains:
- Input: The input (i.e. question) your user provided to the model.
- Output: The output (i.e. answer) the AI model generated.
- Prompt: The prompt you provided to the model.
- Knowledge: The files and links the model used as context to answer the question.
- Cost: The cost of the run (in dollars).
- Duration: The duration of the run (in milliseconds).
- Metadata: Other metadata about the run (e.g. input tokens, output tokens, etc).
Playground
The playground is a tool that allows you to test your workflow with different parameters.
Providers
Providers are the companies that offer AI models. E.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, etc.
Models
Models are the AI models that you can use in Itzam. E.g. GPT-4o, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, etc.
Providers tokens
Providers tokens are the tokens used to interact with the AI model. There are 2 types of providers tokens:
- Input Tokens: The tokens you send to the AI model (e.g. your prompt, the user’s message, the context).
- Output Tokens (or Completion Tokens): The tokens the AI model generates (e.g. the model’s response).
Here you can check more details about providers tokens: AI Tokens Explained.
Knowledge
Knowledge is the data you provide to the AI model to use to answer a question (e.g. documents, links).
Prompt
Prompt (or System Prompt) is the instructions you provide to the AI model to use to generate text. E.g. “You are a customer support agent from Acme Inc…”.
