# Catalogue Overview

The Catalogue lists use cases that are ready to hand over to Neural Factory: processes a team runs by hand today, each specified end to end and built in advance. Instead of describing an agent or a workflow from scratch, you pick the use case that matches your process and activate it.

You find the Catalogue under **Workforce**, after Agents and Workflows. It is available to administrators and members.

## Browsing

Every card names a use case, states its outcome in one sentence, and tells you how close it is to running in your organization. The use cases most teams ask for, and the ones closest to usable for you, come first.

* **Search** looks through the name, the outcome, the problem a use case solves and its team.
* **Filters** narrow the list by readiness, by team, and by what the use case is. The number beside each filter is what you would get by ticking it. Filters within a group widen the list; filters from different groups narrow it.
* The address of a filtered view is a link. Send it to a colleague and they see the same list.

A use case is one of four things:

| What it is | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Workflow** | A fixed sequence of steps that runs the same way every time, with approvals where a person decides |
| **AI agent** | An assistant your team works with in a conversation |
| **Agent and workflow** | An assistant that can also run a workflow for the heavier part of the job |
| **Scheduled workflow** | A workflow that runs on a schedule you set |

## Readiness

Readiness is worked out for your organization, from what the use case uses and what you have connected.

| On the card | In the filter | Meaning |
| - | - | - |
| **Ready** | Ready to activate | Every toolkit the use case uses is connected |
| **Needs Outlook** (or another toolkit) | One connection away | It uses a toolkit your organization has not connected yet. An administrator connects it under [Toolkits](/user-guide/toolkits/managing-connections) |
| **Needs your system** | Needs your system | It works with one of your own systems, such as a core banking or case management system. That connection is set up together with us |
| **Activated** | — | You already have an agent or a workflow made from this use case |

The documents a use case reads, such as a policy or a methodology, never hold it back: you point it at them when you activate it.

## A use case page

Click a card to read the use case before you commit to it.

On the left, the page says what the use case is:

* **Who it is for** and **the problem** it takes off their hands
* **What it does** and **how it runs**, step by step, starting with what sets it off: a person, one of your systems, a schedule, or a conversation
* **Human in the loop** — where a person decides, when the use case has an approval
* **Outcomes** and how they are measured
* **What it does not do** — stated before you start. If one of these is the reason your process exists, this is the wrong use case

On the right, **Readiness** lists everything the use case needs from your organization:

* Each **toolkit** it uses, connected or not. An administrator (or any member on a cloud plan) gets a **Connect** button that opens the connection form in a new tab; when you come back, readiness is already up to date. Where your deployment cannot offer a toolkit yet, the row says **With us**: we set it up together
* Each of **your own systems** it works with, marked **Activation**
* Each **document set** it reads: either already among your knowledge bases, or marked **You provide**

Below that you find what the use case is **better with** (optional systems), what **we put in place** for you, what to have ready **before you start**, and the **time to value**.

**Activate** starts the use case's set-up. Once you have activated it, the button becomes **Open in Workflows** or **Open in Agents** and takes you to what was created.

## Describe your own

If nothing in the Catalogue matches your process, **Describe your own** takes you to the builder, where you describe what you need in your own words.

## Where activated use cases show up

An activated use case is an ordinary agent or workflow in Agents or Workflows, and the use case's own page offers **Open** once one exists.

The builder's "What do you want to build?" page shows a few use cases of the kind you are building under **From the catalogue**, with a link to browse all of them.
