Show HN: Open-source AI workflows with read-only auth scopes

Seer Seer is a workflow builder with fine-grained control for creating and executing automated workflows with integrated tools and services. Build complex automation workflows with visual editing, AI-assisted development, and seamless integrations (Google Workspace, GitHub, and more). Core Architecture Principle If workflows and agents are fundamentally different at the UI layer, they should be different at the API layer. This principle guides our API design: workflows (deterministic, node-based execution) and agents (dynamic, message-based conversations) have distinct mental models, data structures, and user needs. Rather than forcing unification through pattern matching or transformation layers, we maintain separate APIs and components that align with their fundamental differences. This reduces complexity, improves maintainability, and ensures each system can evolve independently. Quick Start git clone && cd seer docker compose up That's it! Starts Docker services (Postgres, Redis, backend, worker), streams logs, and waits for readiness. Deploy to Railway Deploy Seer to Railway with one click: What gets deployed: FastAPI backend, background worker, PostgreSQL, and Redis Setup: Click button, enter OPENAI_API_KEY, wait 5-7 minutes. Estimated cost: $15-30/month. For detailed deployment instructions, see Railway Deployment Guide. Using the Workflow Editor After running docker compose up, the workflow editor is available at: Frontend: http://localhost:5173/workflows?backend=http://localhost:8000 Backend API: http://localhost:8000 Configuration Create a .env file: # Required OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... # Optional integrations (add as needed) GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=... GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=... TAVILY_API_KEY=... Docker automatically configures DATABASE_URL and REDIS_URL. For complete configuration options, see Configuration Reference. Usage Start development environment: docker compose up View logs: docker compose logs -f Stop services: docker compose down Development Workflow Steps: Run: docker compose up Code changes hot-reload via volume mounts (uvicorn --reload) Access workflow builder at: http://localhost:5173/workflows?backend=http://localhost:8000 View logs in the terminal or run: docker compose logs -f Stop: docker compose down Services started: Backend API (port 8000): FastAPI server with workflow execution engine Postgres (port 5432): Workflow and user data persistence Redis (port 6379): Taskiq message broker Taskiq Worker: run uv run taskiq worker worker.broker:broker (or use Docker) to process triggers/polling/workflow runs Integrations & API Keys Core Requirements: OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY - Required for workflow execution and AI assistance Optional Integrations: Google Workspace - GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (Gmail, Drive, Sheets) GitHub - GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET (Repos, Issues, PRs) Supabase - SUPABASE_CLIENT_ID, SUPABASE_CLIENT_SECRET (Setup Guide) Web Search - TAVILY_API_KEY For complete configuration options, see Configuration Reference.
