Text Prompt
Describe your workflow in natural language. The AI generates the full DAG — nodes, edges, and all dependencies resolved.
Flows Are How You Build. Apps Are How You Share.
A flow is your private workspace — a visual DAG connecting MCP tools into multi-step workflows. An app is what happens when you publish it with brand theming, permissions, and billing. Three surfaces: full-screen, dashboard widget, and voice/chat.
Apps That Feel Native
The App Runtime gives every published app a first-class experience: inline execution (no page navigation), declarative settings (toggles, sliders, time pickers), a 4-tier permission model (33 scopes across 20 subsystems), automatic versioning with changelogs, persistent surfaces that load instantly from cache, schedule-to-notification automation loops, and multi-device adaptation (desktop, mobile, tablet, widget, voice).
- Inline Execution — Apps run inside their window, not in a separate chat
- Declarative Settings — Users configure apps with toggles, sliders, and time pickers
- 4-Tier Permissions — 33 scopes, consent dialog on install, per-use confirmation for sensitive actions
- Automatic Versioning — Every publish creates a version with changelog and permission diffs
- Persistent Surfaces — Cached state loads instantly on reopen
- Schedule Sync — Set a time in settings, get a push notification, app auto-starts
- Multi-Device — AI adapts layout for desktop, mobile, tablet, widget, and voice
Three Ways to Create
Video Recording
Record your screen performing a manual process or paste a YouTube URL. The AI watches and converts each step into a node.
Visual Canvas
Drag and drop from 10 node types. Wire edges, set conditions, add gates. Full React Flow canvas with undo/redo.
10 Node Types
- Custom — Inline prompt with MCPs, skills, and model selection
- OpenClaw — Autonomous agent execution in a dedicated sandboxed container
- Gate — Human approval checkpoint with three approval modes (any, all, specific)
- Handoff — Agent-to-agent delegation via A2A protocol
- Switch — Conditional branching based on output values
- Transform — Zero-token data processing (JSON extract, CSV parse, array filter)
- Loop — forEach and while iteration, up to 50 iterations
- Council — Multi-persona synthesis with N agents debating and synthesizing
- Notify — Zero-token real-time notifications to any channel
- Flow — Nest flows inside flows for modular, reusable automation
Four edge types: sequential, conditional, parallel, and switch routing.
Human-in-the-Loop Control
Gate nodes pause execution at critical checkpoints and wait for human approval. Three modes: any approver, all approvers, or specific people. Rejected steps re-run with your feedback injected. Task Proposals let agents create tasks that you approve inline in chat. Three execution modes: autopilot, copilot, or hands-on.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a flow and an app?
A flow is your private AI workflow. An app is what happens when you publish it with brand identity, permissions, and billing. Flows are how you build. Apps are how you share.
Do I need to code to build a flow?
No. Describe what you want in plain language, record a video, or use the drag-and-drop canvas. The AI handles everything.
How do I publish a flow as an app?
Open any flow and click Publish as App. A three-step wizard handles identity, brand theming, and commerce. One click and it's live on the marketplace.
What surfaces does my app run on?
Three: full-screen branded experience, dashboard widget, and voice/chat. You build once — users choose how they engage.
What security scanning happens?
Five layers: constitution check, static analysis, DLP sanitization, container isolation, and immutable audit trail. Continuous security testing.
