Brief Overview
Shadow AI, a tool from Discovery, is available as a workflow in the Workflows app. The Shadow AI workflow gives you easier access to Shadow AI builds, without needing an editor account. It comprises tasks (ShoutOut and restrictions use cases) that business users can browse and request for implementation.
Users with Discovery can also access the Shadow AI Apps dashboard as a new tab in Workflows. This dashboard mirrors the one in Discovery and lets you select AI apps and build shoutouts. Content created in Discovery exists in the Workflow Tasks, and content created in Workflow Tasks exists in Discovery.

How It Works
