## **5. Steps & Nodes**

* Each step = a node
* Common step types: AI model call, fetch data via HTTP, etc.
* Connecting steps logically

## **6. Playground**

* What is the Playground?
* Interactive UI to test and run pipelines
* How users can tweak inputs and rerun
* Sharing results or embedding
* Example walkthrough: Upload photo → Choose style → Generate image
