Runway Agent just got a significant upgrade: you can now build, edit, and run entire node-based Workflows by typing what you want in plain language. No dragging nodes around a canvas, no manually wiring outputs to inputs. Just describe the pipeline you need, and the Agent assembles it for you.
The problem Workflows already solved
Workflows offer a node-based approach to media generation that gives granular control over every step of the creative process. While Runway's standard interface is perfect for quick generations and iteration, Workflows shine when you need to build customized, automated, and repeatable creative pipelines.
The catch was that building those pipelines still required manual effort. Runway's Workflows let you chain multiple AI models into custom pipelines, eliminating manual exports and uploads between tools, but you had to know which nodes to place and how to connect them. That's the friction this update removes.
What just changed
Runway Agent can now create complex node-based workflows with a single language prompt. The complexity of multi-layered workflows becomes as easy as a simple description of what you want. Runway's co-founder Cristóbal Valenzuela echoed the same framing at launch.
The new capability is exposed as a Workflow skill inside the Agent interface. You invoke it with /Workflow in the chat, describe your pipeline in natural language, and the Agent handles the rest: creating nodes, connecting them, configuring settings, and running the result.
