The steps

1. Synthetic message
2. Model classification
3. Allowed-category check
4. Result for review

Run it in Bandura

1. Install Bandura. Read the platform’s installation notes.
2. Extract the ZIP into a new folder. Keep the included files together.
3. Choose File → Open Folder and select that folder. Open workflow.aether.
4. Configure your model in Settings → AI, use Test connection, then press Run. Follow the setup guide.
5. Select a step to inspect results and variables. For CSV evaluation, review the row results in History.

Expected result

A category of billing for the supplied message. The allowed-category check rejects unexpected strings; it does not establish classification accuracy.

Try a failure

Change the allowed-category assertion to require an impossible category and run again. The check should fail even when the model returns a valid label. Restore the example after inspecting the failed step.

Validation and limits

Prepared October 1, 2026. Format and execution checks target source version 1.0.0 using deterministic model responses and a local HTTP echo fixture. Real Ollama/LM Studio model output and the public echo service are not guaranteed by those tests. Setup and troubleshooting.

Use synthetic data while learning. Prompts request a format; assertions verify it. They cannot guarantee model correctness. Review outputs before connecting the workflow to real actions. Bandura has no built-in scheduling or hosted execution.
