Nulab's Groundbreaking Workflow Automation Tool: Nulab Flowbase

On June 16, 2026, Nulab, headquartered in Fukuoka, Japan, announced the launch of its latest innovation, Nulab Flowbase. This cutting-edge workflow automation tool utilizes artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency across organizational processes. The first feature of Nulab Flowbase is being offered free of charge to organizations that have subscribed to the premium plans of its project management software, Backlog. With plans to expand its functionalities, Nulab aims to make Nulab Flowbase available to the general public by 2027.

Overview of Nulab Flowbase

Nulab Flowbase is designed to assist organizations in designing, implementing, visualizing, and improving workflow processes through interaction with AI. By capitalizing on the knowledge data accumulated within the organization, it transforms processes that previously relied on individual experiences and memories into reproducible systems.

Addressing the Challenges of Workflow Management

In recent years, while many companies have advanced in digital transformation (DX), issues connected to personalized workflow management continue to exist. Challenges such as the burden of transferring responsibilities due to personnel changes, and wasted time spent on progress checks, can significantly diminish overall productivity.

Since its establishment in 2004, Nulab has been committed to supporting project management through Backlog, accumulating over two decades of knowledge data related to business operations. Nulab Flowbase has emerged from this wealth of experience, providing a new foundational system for business processes that integrates AI from design through execution, visualization, and improvement.

Features of Nulab Flowbase

Designing Workflows through AI Interaction

Nulab Flowbase enables users to design workflows by conversing with AI. Leveraging data stored in Backlog, the AI interprets the flow of operations and automatically generates templates for workflows. This feature allows users to complete process design independently, eliminating the prior need for specialized skills or external consultants.

Once designed, the workflows seamlessly integrate with Backlog, automatically creating tasks and assigning responsibilities.

Automatic Execution of Flows

As schedules are set or prior tasks are completed, Nulab Flowbase automatically generates new tasks and notifies assigned personnel. This feature effectively reduces management costs associated with progress checks while ensuring that business operations continue without manual intervention.

Real-Time Visualization and Improvement of Progress

With Nulab Flowbase, users can view real-time data on task assignments, completion status, and any bottlenecks in the workflow. This visibility enables teams to identify issues and implement continuous improvement measures easily.

The initial release of Nulab Flowbase is available free of charge to organizations subscribed to the Premium Plan or Platinum Plan of Backlog.
