Summary
This week Atlas learned to work with the Workflow Builder, workflow runs got much easier to read, Launch Video can make several videos at once, and Email Campaigns can go to specific people.
- Atlas and MCP clients can now find, build, change and run workflows. Atlas asks before running anything that changes things, and never starts one that sends outside the workspace from a shared Slack channel.
- Workflow runs show results as results: labelled rows, pictures, PDFs, decks, films and copy cards, instead of raw data. The raw view is still there behind a developer switch.
- Launch Video sets make up to four videos from one shared prompt, each with its own tweak. Sets sit as shelves in the library and can grow to 26 videos.
- Email Campaigns can now send to specific people without making a tag for them first.

What's new with Monogram Tools, covering October 19 to October 26.
This week was about the Workflow Builder and Launch Video. Atlas can now work with your workflows, workflow results are far easier to read, and Launch Video can make a whole set of videos at once. Here is what changed.
First, Atlas and the Workflow Builder. Until now, you built and ran workflows yourself, on the Workflow Builder page. Now you can ask Atlas to do it. Atlas can list your workflows, read one, and tell you how its recent runs went. It can search the steps your tools offer, put a new workflow together from a description, check it for problems, and change one you already have. And it can run a workflow for you. Atlas asks before it starts anything that changes things, and it will never start a workflow that sends things outside your workspace from a shared Slack channel. When it hands you a link, the link opens that workflow with the run already showing. The same abilities are there for outside tools that connect over M C P.
Second, reading a workflow run. A step's results used to show up as raw data. Now each step says what it used and what it made, in labelled rows. Steps that make something show it the way the tool itself would: the picture from Backdrop, the PDF from PDF Maker, a deck from Deck Studio, a film from Launch Video, or every version from Copywriter, each with its own copy button. If you want the raw data, a developer switch at the bottom still shows it.
Third, Launch Video sets. When you start a new film, you can now ask for up to four videos. They share one prompt, and each one can have its own tweak, so you can compare variations side by side. A set shows up in your library as a shelf, with every video lettered in a row, and you can play them all together to compare. You can add a variation to a film you already have, move a film into a set, or take one out. A set can grow to twenty six videos, one for every letter from A to Z.
Finally, Email Campaigns. You can now send a campaign to specific people without making a tag for them first. Search your contacts by name or email, or type a new address and add it on the spot. As always, only people who are subscribed ever get the mail.
