SpiffWorkflow's answer
For our BPMN competitors - we are easier to learn, and anyone in an organization can potentially automate the processes. We are particularly good for agile shops and tech startups - places that don't have or want an army of Java developers, but who want to encapsulate and model a potentially exploding number of shifting business rules in a maintainable and scalable way.
For our No-Code competitors - Our learning curve is higher. We require some training to get going. But we don't have any "brick walls" or "class ceilings.” This is a highly general purpose tool with multiple points of extension. There is always a way to solve a problem. You are not limited by a predefined idea of what you are trying to build.
SpiffWorkflow's answer
We are targeting people who are intent on solving complex problems. We would serve you well as a back-office solution to a grievous and repetitive set of automation tasks. Something that is worth taking the time to train a highly motivated, but not necessarily technical person, so they can create, maintain and monitor the process. We excel at complex approval processes within a mid-sized organization. If you are building your own application that must support 1000's of minor differences between your clients, we could be instrumental in making that possible.
SpiffWorkflow's answer
BPMN + Python. BPMN is an intuitive flow-chart like notation that business users can easily understand, but most BPMN tools require Java software engineers to use this notation for real automation tasks. Python is the most popular language in the world, and used far outside typical software development shops - by research students, data analysts, and business managers. We've built a framework that makes designing, automating, and monitoring workflows something anyone (with patience) can learn to do. We want to place BPMN and Python in the hands of everyone.

There is some overlap here into the “no-code” or “low-code” world, as sometimes the same teams will hook tools like Zapier up to the BaaS in order to integrate with third parties. For small projects this can lead to superhuman productivity! But over a certain line it can become a mess of complexity where it’s hard to track down where data lives and where it is mutated. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
I submitted an application for w24 that fits in the "Developer tools inspired by existing internal tools" category but wasn't accepted. I suspect my pitch probably needed work, and I also haven't started building at all yet and submitted as a solo-founder which it seems has less chance of being accepted. Here's the pitch and some details, in case anyone else is interested in the idea: > Supportal uses AI to... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
