## AI overview

Nirmata introduces OttoFlow, an open-source system for building AI workflows on Kubernetes. It represents workflows as custom resources with typed DAG steps and limits AI to selected parts of the operations process, aiming to combine deterministic, reviewable automation with model-based reasoning.
