# Overview
An overview of the ShiftX process modelling tool from Ardoq.
ShiftX is built ground-up to use AI to generate process flows from natural language, images, and voice recordings — leveraging Ardoq's graph database to make connections to people, applications, and other resources.
{% hint style="info" %}
The first step of using ShiftX with Ardoq is to configure component groups. Read our [Configuring ShiftX](/shiftx/configuring-shiftx.md) article to get started.
{% endhint %}
## Creating a Process
The best way to get started with ShiftX is to describe a process in your organization using the **Generate with AI** panel on the left.
In the example below, using AI process generation, you can see ShiftX identify the connected applications and departments synchronized from Ardoq, and then use them to create a shift scheduling process based on real actors and applications in your organization.
{% hint style="info" %}
You will need to enable AI features in your Ardoq organization for ShiftX to leverage AI generation.

Once you have a baseline process, you can continue the conversation to refine it or use the user interface to model the process manually.

## Draft and Published Processes
By default, all processes in ShiftX start as draft processes. All changes made in a draft are automatically saved.
When you're ready to publish a process, click the **Publish** button in the top-left corner.
The published version of each process is shown in the process overview for each process.
Opening the editor and making changes to your process automatically creates a new draft. You can return to a draft by opening the dropdown menu in the **Open editor** button.
## Exporting and Embedding Processes
### Exporting Processes
Processes can be exported by clicking the :ellipsis: button in the top-right corner of the process overview screen and selecting **Export** and one of the choices.
Each option will present a configuration modal to define the parameters of your output:
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Image Export" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="BPMN Export" %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="JSON Export" %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
### Embedding Processes
Your can embed your ShiftX process in a third-party tool by clicking the :ellipsis: button in the top-right corner of the process overview screen and selecting **Embed process**.
The embedding modal has options for an iframe-based embed as well as a direct URL.
